"The Tory minister had embraced the opportunity to attack the SNP.  It was the same template BBC Scotland had adopted throughout the 2014 Indyref campaign. The template was forged between May 2011 and September 2014.  A UK government minister would visit Scotland, ostensibly to make a speech.  The speech would end and a question would be posed.  The UK government minister would then launch into a well rehearsed mini-speech attacking independence."
