I'm Brian Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 It's like the referendum all over again. Help us Vladimir. Only this time it is help us Francois. So an account of an alleged conversation written by a UK civil servant (who let us not forget are duty bound to try and preserve the union), passed on to the Torygraph. Edit: and of course we have Alan Cochrane at the helm of the said Torygraph sobbing bitter salty tears into his £25k bonus cheque every morning, moaning "But I won the referendum for us. My book says so How can they be so strong?" My guess is a hotline between him and McTernan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I take it Nicola will be suing the Telegraph over this slanderous accusation then? Kudos to The Telegraph for running the story. Goes against their interests but they did it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 If that's the best they can do to dig up dirt on Sturgeon it's looking good. A rushed chat with the French Ambassador who recollected and passed on the gist of it to the consul-general, and passed on by telephone to a UK civil servant, and then through who knows how many intermediaries to the Telegraph. "The Ambassador....had a truncated meeting with the FM [Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister] (FM running late after a busy Thursday…). Discussion appears to have focused mainly on the political situation, with the FM stating that she wouldn’t want a formal coalition with Labour; that the SNP would almost certainly have a large number of seats... that she’d rather see David Cameron remain as PM (and didn’t see Ed Miliband as PM material)." Even if it's not fabricated, who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete's Frontier Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Mrs Sturgeon talking sense at last, it had to happen sometime. Red Ed is the worst candidate in history, even Michael Foot was better, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
