Proof you can have a civilised debate about the Indyref ...

Many of the debates I have heard, or have read on the internet, about the forthcoming Scottish Independence referendum have been quite bad tempered.

But if you want proof that it is possible to have a civilised discussion about the forthcoming decision Scotland has to make in which both sides were almost entirely positive and constructive about their vision for the future of these Islands, and addressed their opponents with courtesy and respect, you could not do better than the discussion on the BBC radio four "Any Questions" programme last night from Melrose in Scotland.

The panellists were historian and commentator Sir Anthony Seldon, microbiologist Professor Hugh Pennington, actress and comedienne Elaine Smith and businessman Tony Banks.

The programme will be broadcast again at 1.10pm today or you can listen to it here.
