Scottish independence: ‘Patronising’ Better Together ad campaign takes internet roasting
Surely, the people behind the Better Together advertising campaign could have seen this coming?
In an attempt to target undecided female voters, the 'No' campaign took all the key issues about next month's independence vote that it claims matter to women, and attempted to address them in a video entitled “The woman who made up her mind”.
Unfortunately, having a fictional mother sitting at a kitchen table, holding a mug of tea, and talking about how her husband bothers her about politics when she isn’t afforded a lot of “time to think”, has not gone down particularly well.
“My Paul is worse than the telly these days. He will not leave off about the referendum! He started again first thing this morning; ‘Have you made a decision yet?’ I was like, ‘It’s too early to be discussing politics, you eat your cereal’,” is just one of the lines that has offended people.

The narrator sounds like an intelligent and articulate woman. The script is straight out of Manipulative Techniques 101 - Chapter One: Undermining rational discussion by spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.
