Casual Bystander Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Stuart Campbell is a grade A arsehole and personally speaking he drives me towards a "no" vote because I find him so unpleasant but there's no denying the impact that Wings has had. So one person who has no political power and who doesn't even have a vote. That is the man that will make you vote No? I'm sorry but that is an extremely petty reason to decide the fate of a country.

MarkoRaj Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Aye that's him. Summed up everything people hate about politicians in one performance. Total opposite to Salmond in approach. I considered Alexander, but didn't think he was that impressive early on. He's got better as the campaign has gone on and he reacted brilliant to that nationalist bully on Sunday night trying to belittle his mothers work in the NHS. He also had Sturgeon buckling on Sunday morning on Sky News. She's been shite throughout, but finally had her breakdown at the Youth debate and hasn't recovered. I don't think they were belittling it, more bristling at the total irrelevance of it, certainly that was my own reaction. He reacted very well though and would probably top my no list, despite the fact I can't stand him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Don't rate Alexander, but perhaps that's because he makes my skin crawl. Ruth Davidson has been workmanlike aside from her bizarre bit about Russian invasion, but it's all relative; you'd have thought any of her predecessors - Goldie and McLetchie - would have put up a better fight.

Casual Bystander Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Salmond has whipped up bad feeling and taken advantage of fervent nationalism. It's not difficult. Once more we have the bitter seethe about Salmond. Painfully predictable. This "poster" has continued to embarrass himself by relentlessly centring on one person in a campaign of many people. It doesn't matter what result is voted for Salmond is held in extremely high regard with the people of Scotland and that really annoys you.

Virtual Insanity Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Dougie Alexander signed off Patronising BT Lady. Top man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Alexander is apparently (?) a senior strategist in their clown-car campaign - as he was for several of Labour's last shambolic failures - so any extremely thin veneer of competency in front of a camera has to be balanced by his accountability for the likes of the above. And the collapsing arse of BT in the closing weeks. If No loses, he will be most accountable of them all for the defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Actually, that's true about Alexander - glad I can put some reason behind my visceral disgust. Hasn't he lost just about every campaign he's been involved in? Patronising BT Lady on its own caused that BT meltdown the other weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I didn't see it but that's a shame about Hosie. I heard him on radio 4 last week debating with Harvey against Zac Goldsmith or somebody like him and a Labour MP and he was terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Bystander Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hosie is a lot better on radio and if he can stop rolling his eyes at every asinine nodrone comment, albeit an understandable reaction, he'll do equally as well on TV.

Well that was certainly how Alexander tried to spin it. How dare you insult my mother!! Overwrought, hysterical nonsense. Bringing your mother into a serious political debate. My mum was a nurse ergo ... I must know what's best for the NHS and don't you dare question me because, by implication, you'll be suggesting that mum is ... Hosie, of course, had done nothing of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunz Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Patrick Harvie is a fantastic person. Been very impressed with him. Made a great case for Scottish Independence. I'll probably end up voting for him/Green party if it's a Yes vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but that is an extremely petty reason to decide the fate of a country. Not what I said though, is it? Stuart Campbell puts me further towards no than I would be without reading his bile. The daily mail puts me further towards Yes than I would be without reading it's bile. They're all just players in one big puzzle. Just by the by, if you think Wings doesn't have power you're kidding yourself. He has huge influence over a massive number of Yessers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The guy behind Wings Over Scotland is an absolute p***k, and the worst sort of Scottish nationalist. Just because he's on the same side as me in the referendum debate doesn't mean I have to like or respect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So utterly blinded by hatred of the other side that you refuse to even contemplate criticising "one of your own". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
