There was one potentially interesting question about the principle of whether Scotland has the right to secede if it wants to. The problem was that the format made any attempt at a sensible answer impossible.
Say “yes” and before a word of sense could emerge, Nicola Sturgeon would have been triumphalist about an “admission” while Douglas Ross would have been declaring “weakness”, rendering anyone other than the Tories untrustworthy in defence of the Union. So, rather than walk into either trap, the question was lost in the general fog.
