Salt n Vinegar Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 8 hours ago, Henderson to deliver ..... said: We're getting ever closer to the 'I didn't think they would inspect my genitals, sobs woman who voted for the Inspecting People's Genitals Party' phase of this thing now.

Paco Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The only surprise here is that Jim Spence didn't fully endorse those comments - or maybe he did?I suspect Spence was quoting it thinking it shows him and indeed Salmond in a good light. He’s a bigoted clown. Spence, that is. Salmond isn’t pretending to be anything different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 My own scientific research (Twitter) has concluded to the surprise of nobody, that the Alba supporters are generally a bunch of complete roasters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, also think these Spence comments have been spun. There's a difference between the interpretation and the quotes. Think they'll get a seat or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 That's the SNP there captured by a hundred loony tune activists who have so far failed to enact the one piece of legislation that they're obsessed with despite being the party of government and likely having majority parliamentary and public support for the policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I can only presume the people who think Jim Spence isn't right-wing are the people who only remember him from BBC Sportsound and thought he was good because Rangers fans didn't like him. You don't have to dig very far at all into his Twitter or his articles to realise exactly what he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at his twitter, he's a bit all over the place he's retweeting NIP a left wing party, an Ian Murray anti Indy EU rant, Chris McEleny Alba bumf and George Galloway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's obviously no neat box for everyone but I don't think spence is right wing. I don't have twitter but there seem to be a new idea if there's diagreement, youre smeared as right wing. Having a concern with how some issues are debated doesn't make people of the right. Also I didn't vote to leave but there was a left wing view on leaving the EU. I know green members that voted leave in the spirit of Tony Benn etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirso Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Remember when we used to be taught 80 % of communication was non-verbal (non literal). Now folk condemn others they've never met or spoken to as right wing monsters/snowflakes based on their own interpretation of mini quotes. Absolute roasters the lot of them. Ps. Bet most folk are actually ok lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
