Scots voting no to independence would be an astonishing act of self-harm

For the record, Aye Pod is being deceitful.

NHS issue:

The First Minister has repeatedly claimed in recent weeks that the only way to save the health service from privatisation in Scotland is a Yes vote in the independence referendum.

His political opponents said he was scaring the vulnerable with lurid warnings while at the same time “nodding through NHS contracts to independent providers”.

The Telegraph has learned that Weight Watchers, the US-based international weight loss company, has won a two-year contract to provide 4,000 overweight patients with weight management guidance in the west of Scotland.

The move will take a large proportion of the patients currently seeking help for weight-related problems out of NHS care in the city, Renfrewshire, Inverclyde and Dunbartonshire.

Disruptions:

The former Scottish Secretary said he did not know whether Alex Salmond was responsible for the respite after the First Minister used a TV interview at the weekend to urge people to ignore him.

But he suggested someone senior in the Yes campaign had “turned off the taps” after he was last week forced to suspend his “100 towns in 100 days tour” when groups of independence supporters started disrupting the events.

They shouted down members of the public, intimidated his staff, threw eggs and called him a quisling and traitor during events in Montrose, Dundee and Kirkcaldy. Mr Murphy alleged they had coordinated their actions using Yes Scotland social media.

In addition, I looked and found no evidence anywhere for your assertion on Capaldi.

As an aside, Doctor Who saved me from what was at one point a suicidal level depression.
