What a non-issue to wade into. Why they put Thornberry, a woman who lost a job in the shadow cabinet for ripping the pish out of a flag shagger, up to criticise Nike is one of the daftest pieces of media management I've seen. It's plainly obvious they don't give a shit what colour the fucking flag is on a football kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The Colin Fox ones used to hold regular largely-ignored demos in Princes Street, outside Register House. Dunno if they still do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the left...sorry, "THE FAR LEFT LUNATICS"...still doing the Life of Brian thing? Is there a Party of Socialists in Scotland consisting of a bloke who didn't like the Nestle biscuits at one of the SSP meetings, and thought the SPS were fascists for refusing to commit to execute the royals on the day after taking power? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the England vs France game had been 20 years earlier there’d definitely have been a godawful BBC Scotland sketch show doing a gag with Harry Kane’s penalty landing and knocking Rosie Kane out of a tree in Pollok Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The policy was killed at birth by the then chancellor, Rishi Sunak, who refused to back it; the chaos and corruption of the Tory government under Johnson, and a failure to give regions the levers to make it happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levelling up or equivalent investment and infrastructure building away from the SE has been a political aim (and handy lie to tell) for decades, long preceding Johnson. The fact they were not fulsome in their praise doesn't change that they referenced it as being a result of his analysis rather than something he just nicked and never intended to do. If they want Johnson fans who feel he was betrayed to vote for them it's not a daft thing to say. And they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Rishi was the one caught bragging about taking money away from areas in the northern wastelands to pay for village green improvements in the Home Counties, was he not? You have to be really careful about saying the quiet bit out loud in politics. Just ask Mitt Romney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
