john stevenson. >> thank you. the prime minister recently said there was remarkly little difference between scotland, wales, northern ireland and people support referendum. there is more evidence scotts are more enthusiastic about the e.u. than the rest of the united kingdom. what do you make of that? >> the remarks which i think were end of some questions, mr. bishop agrees with him in committee whether there was demand in scotland for a referendum. the last time that a specific call was taken in scotland, indicated 58% of people in scotland supported there being a referendum on whether scotland remains within the e.u. i think having a referendum on e.u. membership is entirely consistent with having a referendum upon whether scotland remains within the united kingdom which obviously we did in 2014. i think people in scotland just as people across the united kingdom will be able to have their say in the debate. clearly i support scotland and britain remaining in the e.u. we have to acknowledge there are people in

john stevenson? >> thank you. we follow the polls.e're always interested in what they've got to say. there is a view, my colleague suggests, that actually scotland is more enthusiastic about europe than the rest of the united kingdom is. your experience, would you concur with that? >> yes, to an extent. certainly, i mean, some of the polls have said something alng those lines. we're not taking that for granted. it's been my experience in the past and during this campaign that the narrative about europe is different in scotland. put it that way. i was once held up in a previous job for saying scotland wasn't more pro-european, it was just less anti. there's some truth in that. some of the issues that have been central to the campaign down here, namely migration and sovereignty, really don't ring true to scottish audiences because if nothing else, it has reminded people that sovereignly l ty lies in various plays. lies in london, lies in nato, wefr whenever we choose to share it. in the groups i've spoken to in the last few months, ther

john stevenson? >> thank you. we're all taking interest and opinion polls and the view of the pollsters is that scotland, the scottish voters are more in favor of the eu than the rest of the united kingdom. would you agree with that? >> we'll see. you know, i think there clearly has been -- i think sometimes the gap is exaggerated but there clearly is a difference. i'm asked about this quite a lot. i, from a personal point of view, you know, not artificial scottish view -- scottish vote leave point of view. there's a reason for that. for the last 50 years or so whenever there's been a debate, it hasn't been about europe, it's been about scottish independence. i think in a certain ex-temtent hasn't happened in england, eu hasn't gotten any level of attention. i think also, importantly, the demands for have been seen as a peculiar obsession of the conservative party. and in scotland, that means it's being isolated, being cast aside. we don't pay too much attention to it because it's kind of a tori argument. i think

john f. kennedy in 1960 was georgia. the south was the solid south for the democrats. they voted for stevenson. it was that good a vote in the south, gone. johnson had it right starting in '64. they could never do it again. >> definitely. i mean, i think that was one of the things he realized what he was going to have to give up in order to make this work but i feel like what is so great about lbj and able to do was he sacrificed everything for what he believed in. there were many -- i always say there were many other men out there that could have done what dr. king and lbj did but none of them stood up and did it. and i think that's the testament to the men they were. >> let me ask jay about saturday night. why saturday night for a debut? what's the thinking there? tell me something about television i don't know. why would you take a major film like this and open it on a saturday night? a question. >> sunday nights are pretty busy with game of throwns and silicon valley, great shows and saturdays are for some reason the nights they recount and game change on saturday nights. it's their tv movi

john stevenson. >> thank you. the polls, and we're always interested in what they've got to say. and there is a view that suggests that, actually, scotland more enthusiastic than the rest of the united kingdom is. from your experience, would you concur with that? >> yes, to an extent. certainly, some of the polls we've seen have said something along those lines. we're not taking that for granted. it's been my experience in the past and during this campaign that the narrative about europe different than scotland. i was once held up in a previous job for saying scotland wasn't more pro-european, it was less anti. but there's some truth to that. some of the issues central to campaign down here really don't ring true with scottish audiences because, if nothing else, it reminded people that sovereignty lies in various places. it lies in london, it lies in nato, it lies wherever we choose to share it. so, certainly, in the many town hall meetings and debates and functions i've spoken to in the last few months, there has
