Empty seats at Satire Awards as BBC Scotland walks out.

Publicly funded satire site BBC Scotland executives stormed out of the 2012 Political Studies Association Awards Ceremony when they were humiliated by the judges in the Best Political Satire award.

Spoof site BBC Scotland had submitted their reports on the trade missions of Alex Salmond and Michael Moore to the USA, for the "Subtle use of Misinformation" section.

Chairman of the judging panel, Jon Stewart of the US "Daily Show" commented, "Jesus! You Scots pay for this crap?

"They label Salmond's trip as just furthering Scottish trade, but describe Moore as doing it only for party advantage. They claim to be ridiculing those wanting Scottish independence, but turn the joke the other way. Dismal failure was being kind to them.

"I've seen really bad satire in the USA, but this is the poorest attempt that I've ever seen. It's even worse than putting Mitt Romney forward as a candidate for President!"

BBC Scotland Director Ken MacQuarrie whined, "It's not fair! We do our best to follow London's orders, but they keep cutting our staff. We have to employ Unionists, and they simply aren't funny.

"Our competitors such as National Collective have people like Ray McRobbie and Greg Moodie. We can't compete with satire of that quality unless we are independent. Oh shit! Did I say that? It was off the Record. Shit! I didn't mean the Record, who are also beginning to say good things about Scotland. Just don't publish anything I said."

Ian Davidson MP, Chairchoob of the Scottish Affairs commitee for Fanatical Unionist Conservatives Keeping Scotland Antagonistically Tied to an Increasingly Reactionary England commented,

"SLAB ur the best jokers ay the loat! Wiv conned aw thay folk fur aw thay years. Ah goat ma reward tho! The rest is pish."

Johann-Ruthie Lavison said in unison "Noooo! It wasn't in Unison. Unison is a Trade Union that believes in universal benefits, which we say are shite! Just don't publish anything we said, or didn't say, or deny having agreed to say. Shit!"
