Granny Danger Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 So some person within Scottish Labour, presumably someone in a fairly senior position, thought it was a good idea to compile this 'dossier' and release it and those in charge at Scottish Labour agreed that this was a worthwhile thing to do and approved it. It is almost beyond believe to think how stupid and amateur that action was. How can people with so much political experience be so idiotic and so naive?

Should be the party motto I've got no doubt the Scottish branch have been collecting screen grabs from social media from SNP supports/members for a long time now, just in case they need to try and smear them in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 It has also been pointed out that they admitted that they have stored data of SNP members. Imagine the administrative costs involved if all 115000 members exercised their rights under the Data Protection act, to request any information the Labour Party hold on them. That would be beyond glorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Surely if it was sexist, then all of her detractors wouldn't have voted for Natalie McGarry? You know someone is not liked if they get beaten by Natalie McGarry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that there have been cases of abusive tweets etc - but publishing this shite just makes them look petty.If they were seriously offensive then they should have reported them to the police at the time. It smacks of desperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I think maybe two of the people in there came across as a bit unhinged, but the rest of it seemed pretty mundane. The traitor narrative has long become tiresome, but it's the internet where one upmanship is king, so I don't really know what people expect. Crying about it isn't going to solve anything, and all you'll end up with is the other side getting their knickers in a twist the moment one of your own lot steps out of line.

And nobody ever dishes out abuse to the SNP do they? It's STILL all one sided for the better together/labour side. No wonder things are only going to get worse for them.

Alan Stubbs Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Mind how Labour were going to start on a new direction after learning their lesson last month? Was the lesson they got from the GE that they ought to spend more time whinging about the SNP? They've had nothing to say in about eight years apart from SNP bad and even after falling further than anyone woul've imagined, they haven't learned. What a remarkably terrible political party.

Well yes, you can compare it because they're comparable things. I think you mean there's more and/or worse abuse coming from SNP/independence supporters than coming from Labour supporters/unionists. And I'm afraid claims like that tend to need evidence rather than just the incoherent drivel of an idiot repeating things he's heard elsewhere.

GTG_03 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Labour seem truly incapable of learning and they have no inspiring candidates to lead them now. Bit of a worry as a decent opposition is needed and with the Lib Dems in the state they are I don't know where this is going to come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 In fact, the word “traitor” in particular is one that’s embedded in both popular and political culture – one of the UK’s best-known political parties, for example, sings a song explicitly decrying “traitors” at the end of every party conference. :lol: http://wingsoverscotland.com/clypegate-in-numbers-and-pictures/ The Branch Office is knee deep in the brown stuff.
