Salt n Vinegar Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 36 minutes ago, Leith Green said: They are there every week. I am not necessarily a fan, but you have to admire their endurance in the face of indifference. Must confess to some admiration for Fox's psychic abilities. Mrs Salt and Vinegar and my good self passed their set-up at the weekend and it was remarkable to hear him say things like "the people of Scotland want...." or "the Scottish people don't want....". To the very best of my recollection he's never asked either of us for our opinion on anything at all, never mind on the Israel/Palestine issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 "Where's you're evidence that there's no clear blue water? To counter your point I'm going to tell you that our policy and theirs is identical" I'd say get them both in the sea, but I don't want to poison England's water any more than it is already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Is everybody else getting the labour advert on P&B? 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Probably a mix of both. More worryingly, it's been reported in multiple places but the Scum was the only one I could see that actually gave the contents of the tweets. 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...

Reactionary arseholes who surround themselves with other reactionary arseholes. All plugged into the same small Twitter feedback loop, further radicalising them and reinforcing their false sense of consensus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
