He is the modern day Nostradamus I'm sure I've seen somewhere he's standing for Holyrood. Anyone know if this is the case and if so what seat he is standing in at Holyrood, or is he just on a list?

Mr Bairn Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'm sure I read somewhere that they have given up in Gordon and are diverting resources to seats they think they can win, like Inverness and E Dunbartonshire The only chance they have at salvaging either of those would be a #murphybounce splitting the SNP vote, and that isn't happening. They're gone and so is Edinburgh West and Argyll & Bute If I'm Willie Rennie's strategist I'd be throwing all the resources at Charles Kennedy and Michael Moore's seats, those are likely salvageable.

Miguel Sanchez Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Oh good grief! https://www.facebook.com/conservatives/videos/vb.8807334278/10153090444029279/?type=2&theatre Imagine fifty Salmonds inside Westminster. Beautiful. If Salmond died tomorrow, who would you be blaming for the movement's continued failure to die? Just curious, as you'd think Scottish Nationalism is a recent development with the way folk such as yourself talk. Dave I know there are plenty of diehards like Salmond, and I don't think it's a recent development. My point is just that there is a conflict of aims within the SNP. The goals of on the one hand independence, and on the other Scotland's interests within the UK, are at odds with each other. I'm not saying the SNP aren't perfectly valid as a nationalist party who want independence. I am saying if you don't want independence but do want more social justice in the UK, vote Labour. Your fascination with calling posters by their names suggests you actually are a politician. It's quite weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the SNP aren't perfectly valid as a nationalist party who want independence. I am saying if you don't want independence but do want more social justice in the UK, vote Labour. Labour have had their chance at implementing social justice, and it's becoming quite apparent that most Scots don't agree with their idea of it. Jim Murphy's made it quite clear that he believes Labour have done just fine in Scotland despite this, so voting for his party in those circumstances would be insanity. If you want social justice and no independence, Labour, the Tories and the SNP are not the parties for you. I'd recommend the Lib Dems, but the current party leaders have made it quite clear that they'll do whatever's necessary to bankroll their careers post-politics. So, find another party, start your own, organise protests, spoil your ballot paper, but don't go giving the least worst option a mandate because they might throw you a bone if you're a good girl. Bones are for dugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milners Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Apparently there was a flurry of betting on the Lib Dem candidate for Gordon last night and her odds have shortened to 6/1. This tactical voting certainly has muddied the water in a lot of seats. Surely to f**k Salmond will still romp home! Mate has done canvassing with Salmond and the feedback has been excellent. Those on the doors are upset how negative the Tories have been about the SNP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Gorilla Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Tory and Labour are a wafer thin mint apart really. I find the notion a labour government headed by those clowns Milliband and Balls would make a better fist of it than the current mob laughable. The Tories might be 'nasty' by thinking back to the Blair years that government was hardly a cuddly force for good. I'd happily accept a Tory majority if independence was guaranteed and I suspect I'm not the only one. Another Tartan Tory. No surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The camera man is the worst of all - this is supposed to be showing the Labour up in a bad way but it just shows that the 2 of them are morons? Pathetic really The enlightened thoughts of Citizen Clerkin: Many indigenous people in Glasgow and elsewhere are naturally resentful that the massive influx of immigrants increasingly takes away from them shrinking public resources in areas such as housing, education and health. Until now, they have been afraid to speak out in case they were labelled racist by the chattering classes and those with vested interests to protect. The rise of the British National Party has forced the issue of immigration to the fore, with the issue being one of the five most important concerns for the British people during this election campaign, and yet the main political parties continue, at their peril, to sidestep the issue, only paying brief lip service. Indigenous people also feel strongly that their culture is being undermined by the likes of Islam, from the closure of public houses in the north of England to the threatened imposition of Sharia law, where there are increasingly high concentrations of Muslim populations. Multiculturalism has gone far too far, and there is a clear need for more integration of ethnic minorities in our western democratic values, like the French do in that, as a great nation, it ensures that its secular democratic values, such as the freedom of expression, are never undermined. http://www.scotsman.com/news/sean-clerkin-cap-on-immigration-wouldn-t-be-racist-just-common-sense-1-801247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughinglady Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 There were diehards like Salmond, long before the Referendum, there will be long after the referendum, they would have existed if no referendum had ever come about. Hold the front page. SNP support Scottish Independence. I'm astonished You have to get it into your head. This election is not about independence. If Labour truly believed in social justice within the UK they would have done something about some of the areas of deprivation in Scotland, during the 13 years they were in government. Labour has failed Scotland. Scotland is on the brink of letting them know this. I agree there is deprivation in Scotland, as in other parts of the UK. There is a huge problem of wealth inequality and in my view the middle classes need to be paying significantly higher taxes, as in eg. Sweden, to fund various social programmes. The problem is you've got to get people to vote for that, and the SNP haven't done that any more than Labour have. I don't like Sturgeon's talk of more borrowing, it just shifts the problems onto the next generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland has some the worst deprivation, lowest life expectancy etc Time to change this, not carry on allowing big banks to get away with casino banking. No they really do not need to pay more. All the tax evaders and big businesses need to pay what they are due. Labour were equally as guilty as the Tories of allowing these type to get away with it. If someone with some balls would actually stand up to these types the deficit would be wiped out overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
