Placed under house-arrest within hours, kicked to the kerb for have the temerity to open her mouth without running it past Gordon in Downing Street, and replaced with the first in a never-ending revolving door of inept, nondescript leaders with nothing about them whatsoever. We should really be grateful to her for all the laughs Gray, Lamont, Murphy, Dugdale, Leonard & Co have provided since. I had actually completely forgotten about Iain Gray and Richard Leonard, which really just sums the last 10+ years of Slab up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Murphy was peak banter for me. The ginger-crate hustings, and being humiliated in front of Eddie Izzard by a guy on a bicycle with a megaphone, so much so that he ran off to the press to blubber and lie about 'hordes' of aggressive 'nationalists', despite 15 or so of the approx 20 people present being Slab staff and activists. His successors were bland and forgettable by comparison, but evidently that's of no benefit to Slab and only deprives Scots of a much needed source of mirth. Bring back Jim Murphy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him not only for the shite he talked but for the creepy, faux-soft-voice he adopted when talking it. Christ, I can hear it now - it was like he was doing his best impression of Lorraine Kelly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the boy on the bike no some complete loon who called himself 'Empire Biscuits' or something? That's certainly a bigger crowd than Murphy was used to. I remember Reporting Scotland following him on the 'juice crate' campaign. There was a film of him stood on it gibbering shite through a megaphone, the camera panned around to reveal that he was proselytising to an audience of absolutely nobody whatsoever. Halcyon days.

Boo Khaki Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The infamous juice crate! I also have vague memories of him standing pontificating in his bare feet, or something similar. Did that actually happen or am I imagining it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 He was supposed to be the A-lister from the big boy parliament, parachuted in to put the Jocks in their place.

A Labour government's coming, m9. Everything will be fine when Labour are back in power, you'll see. Either that, or maybe 5-10% of voting age Scots are sitting on the fence to see if Westminster is prepared to sideline Holyrood and end foreigners. There's a nightmare scenario for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
