Independence for Scotland? Plus Culture Clash on Dawkins

  • 17 years ago
1. Did the Enemies of Reason set a convincing argument? 2. SNP plans for independence referendum: serious or gesture politics?

Clip 1. In Culture Clash this week, the panel examined Richard Dawkin's The Enemies of Reason and Christopher Hitchens's book God is Not Great. In this clip, they discuss whether Dawkin's remorselessly logical outlook created a compelling argument or whether pyschic reading, astrology, water divining et al are simply easy targets.
Clip 2. In Up Front, the panel discuss the SNP's plans for independence which have been unveiled. Were the other three main Scottish parties correct to unite in attacking the plans and will the blueprints significantly move on the debate?
