By way of disclaimer, I wouldn't shed a single tear at Scotland going independent: provided not a single penny from the license fee was spent on the new state broadcaster, and STV was freed from the ITV Network and left to act as a commercial channel in its own right.
The short version is, I'm aggrieved that I am getting a poorer service for my money yet Scotland, once again arguing that it is some sort of special case, is getting an entire extra network, at the expense of the entire UK losing BBC Three.
It's not fair.
you're not getting a poorer service you're getting a different service.
Scotland (and Wales/NI) gets a "poorer" service in ways you don't pick up on, meaning it needs different services to make up for the structural issues that are inherent in the core service provided from England.
I don't happen to think that this new channel is the correct solution, and have issues with BBC Scotland's lack of vision in general, but the argument that Scotland should have nowt because you don't want to fund it with the fraction of a penny of your licence fee is appallingly knee jerk.
Also you are aware of how ITV works aren't you? It's not STV's fault that Granada own everyone else now.
