Granny Danger Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Looks like candidate selection not gone down well with everyone https://twitter.com/dhothersall/status/585172898501025792 Heads gone The idea that Marra is going to get anywhere near the PLP is a triumph of studipity over rationality.

invergowrie arab Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I can see many Tories and possibly Lib Dems who never in a million years wouldve voted for Jim McGovern but they might think now weve got a decent chap who might be an MP, and we will vote tactically to get rid of this nationalist who drives about in a fire engine and has a goatee, said one source. Scottish Labour. Strong on Facial Hair. Strong on Fire Engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyAffro Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm not saying that. I'm saying the UK deserves the parliament it votes for. Some regions aren't always going to get what they want. That isn't being opposed to those regions, it's the way democracy works. Sometimes we don't get what we vote for. The constituency I currently live in has voted Labour for decades, they haven't always got the government they have voted for. I'm not being anti-Leeds by saying that I have no problem with that, nor am I anti-Scottish for not having a problem with Scotland not always getting the government it wants. Scotland isn't a region of anything champ. And Scotland not getting the government it votes for is untenable. Except to a British nationalist. Once more refer to it as a region and compare it to Leeds. The only valid comparison to Scotland is England. Tell me, does England get the government it votes for? Most of the time yes it does, does Scotland, usually not, and if it does its purely coincidental. That's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie if the vast majority of English people voted for the monster ravers... then they would be the Uk gov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why you're on about this at a time when for the first time ever we could have a chance of deciding what government England gets. We won't be deciding anything stop getting carried away. Middle England will decide what government the entire UK gets, as always. For the first time ever we are in with a chance of having a wee say is all, perhaps be able to influence policy a little.

Conveniently forgetting that we voted on our partnership within the Union less than eight months ago. The overwhelming majority of our countrymen and women disagreed with you.

FuzzyAffro Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I did, and persuasive as it was I would like a little more. Just this weekend we have four anti-Scottish articles from one paper in England, I wonder if there's ever been anything remotely similar up here.

Mr Rational Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I see the record is leading with the Nats want DC to win headline today. They have managed to get some guy who is leaving the party over this. As a party member of 20 years, I have yet to meet a Nat that wants the Tories to win, and I was in Kinross branch for a fair bit. I would go as far as to say it's a load of pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think so, you raging little Britnat. My Britishness is not defined by rage at all my friend, it's you that continues to wallow in the role of shouty little man on here. The article wasn't perhaps what I was looking for, but you only need to read some of the language on this thread to realise that some of the behaviour and comment you highlight down south also very much exists up here. The words English c*nt appear to be perfectly acceptable? Imagine if I singled someone out in the Question Time audience and referred to them as an Irish, Chinese or Indian c*nt ?? I also note that none of the alleged examples of anti English abuse quoted in the original piece were challenged iirc . It works both ways, you and the rest of your P&B hangers on need stop pretending we hold some sort of moral high ground, we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The new defector to Labour says this about his leader Jim Murphy "Jim Murphy - his past is basically supporting an illegal war in Iraq. He never came out and condemned the Gaza bombings. From a Muslim perspective, those were unforgiveable. Ouch!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
