Good to see that they're displaying the Union flag so prominently on a Scottish football forum. I take it they'll be using it on all their 'Scottish' labour campaign leaflets. I wish them well with that. Excuse my ignorance, but what precisely is happening in Scotland on 2nd May that will require me to vote? I've googled, and all of their official blurb refers repeatedly to "the Country", "across the Country", and so on, but does not specify precisely which country they are referring to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the ad even less relevant to us. (I assume that the ad goes out over a lot more than just this forum) I am looking forward to Labour using the same Union flag format for the general election though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Someone might want to point out to them then, that they might want to stop using "the country" interchangeably with "England & Wales" while they are pimping themselves in Scotland. On second thoughts, don't, because that is prototypical Labour and they will never realise by themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I see that Sarwar has come out strongly against UK arms sales to Israel. If I was a cartoonist I'd draw a sketch of Starmer releasing a wee wind-up toy on the M6 and pointing in it towards John O'Groats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes it seem like they don't understand that the old-school National Front racism is the problem, or don't care and just want everyone to covertly chuckle at a silly name. Probably a mix of both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starmer's promise of quality candidates in every constituency at the GE is a fucking belter. What chance does he have of getting 650 lined up when he couldn't manage 1.

Hamas Youseless is a nothingburger, it's something you'd hear off a golf club bore while he was going 'eh' and tapping you with his elbow, but the Steve Laws one is more worrying. Full time wannabe Yaxley-Lennon except doesn't pretend to be a journalist. If she pleads ignorance on him, a quick click thru to his timeline would have shown a constant tirade of similar shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of those accusations against Yousaf she endorsed were also made against Corbyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever their views...and they're usually horrific...it's so weird how they like to give it the "we're the majority" bit, get proven wrong at an election, then immediately return to the same nonsense again. Presumably a lot of them are at it, but some genuinely seem to believe that everyone still secretly hates brown people, or thinks that anyone who isn't heterosexual must be a BEAST. Wonder when they'll all unite into the "elections are all rigged because we aren't winning!" movement that the Americans are enjoying right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A case in point of the false sense of consensus that can develop among Twitter bubbles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
