‘BBC is Mouthpiece of Tory Government’ – Alex Salmond

In particular, the BBC's coverage of last year's Scottish referendum was far from fair and impartial.

"The BBC was a mouthpiece of Tory government propaganda," Salmond told RT.

This bias, in turn, played a significant factor in the result of the Scottish independence referendum last year, Salmond said, stating that Scottish people were deceived by the fear-mongering campaign carried out by the BBC.

Salmond also criticized British Prime Minister David Cameron for his inability to act amid the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe. Cameron isn't helping to solve the crisis, the former SNP leader said.

"There's one country in Europe that's handling things worse than David Cameron and that's Hungary. I think they should feel ashamed of themselves. However, David Cameron isn't helping. My granny used to say ‘if you can't help, don't hinder' and David Cameron is neither helping nor assisting colleagues," Salmond said.

David Cameron does nothing, but stands while fellow human beings are suffering on the continent of Europe, the Scottish politician said.

Salmond, who was the former First Minister of Scotland, stepped down as the leader of the SNP after the unsuccessful referendum one year ago.

The Scottish independence referendum took place on September 18, with 55.3 percent of Scots voting against independence, resulting in Scotland remaining part of the UK, while 44.7 percent of the population supported an independent Scotland. The referendum saw a turnout of 84.59 percent.
