Can someone point me towards Nicolson s outrage about this? I'm not in the slightest bit bothered about this/these Spanner weirdo/s, far less in shock about it. The relevance here is that Daisley getting punted for being an unprofessional oddball is a more likely story than your conspiracy theories. On The National, I know you love a whataboutery based argument about that particular publication. I haven't even picked up a copy of it in my puff, so I'll leave that one to somebody else.

ScotSquid Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Well. Well. Well. This is a stunning turn of events. Who would have thought that Nicolson had in fact lied through this affair and had indeed complained to STV about Daisley as part of this meeting with Wishart. And the defend the Nats at all costs crew on here were made a c**t of. Oh dear.

Isthatyou Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 http://derekbateman.scot/2016/08/21/can-i-quote-you/ All you need to know ah, there you have more self-righteous, pompous rubbish to go along with Nicolsons awful column in the National in the last few days, to break this down for the really, really slow of mind, if the two MPs complained about Daisley to his employers, they should have thanked them for there input, then publicly back there man, then in the next few weeks, months if Daisleys role changed in someway, so be it and it would keep Wishart and Nicolson at bay, now what we have is the two of them thinking they are much more powerful than they really are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Yes it does. If I grab a coffee with a friend I have contacted them. If I say hello to them in a crowded room I have contacted them. If I say "did you see the weather outside" then I have contacted them directly about the weather.

You might be technically correct but I would guess 90% of people would take contacted directly to mean a phone call or email about a particular subject not a blether over the bacon rolls at a breakfast meeting. Anyway, pedantry aside do you believe the SNP as a party or it's parliamentarians are in the habit of trying to get journalists silenced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Unlucky' seems to be the appropriate response here. So what we now know is that Nicolson and Wishart have spoken with SNP bosses specifically about Daisley. That whole 'STV confirmed the complaints were internal' canard can be shelved. I'm still skeptical that caused them to bin him from the gig but that's not really the pont. This has gone really badly for both Nicolson and Wishart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
