I expect that Dexter bloke would.

This all looks a bit too convenient to be 'true'...

Why would they target the Tories? The Tories are hardly any challenge to the SNP. If there was vandalism of Labour offices I'd be more prepared to believe it, they are, after all, the long-term rivals.

Also, who writes "Q"? I suppose it's meant to stand for Quisling(s), but it's a bit esoteric.

is there a cuddly face of nationalism?

Strangely enough, I was doing a mental inventory as I typed. He headed the shortlist.

i think all three of them would be a bit much.

Seems like another office, supposedly Labour, was also targeted. It's a bit confusing because the building seems to be a Scottish Parliament office?

The "Q" thing suggests to me there's a lone nutter doing this.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Good god no.

 

[brogdale]

I never had Ray Burns down as a nationalist!

Reading the comments on those tweets a lot of people seem to think the graffitti-ist is using the swastika in a BNP way ('English out') rather than suggesting the Tories are nazis which seems a lot more likely to me

all i know is that they weren't paying attention when they covered the third reich at school.

Yes, it's hardly a central office operation. But there's no shortage of nutters.

This is a Scottish Government office, not a party office. Why does that get a "Q" if it's an SNP-inclined nutter?

Don't we have a nutter called Dow who thinks the Scottish Government are pawns of the Queen or something? Isn't he in the Aberdeen area?

Say what you like about Salmond, is that the sort of thing you'd see Cameron doing for a selfie?

Good call. Also, he's a bit 'route one' as well - he'd go for Queen rather than ER.

Christ no. For all their faults, the current bunch of party leaders in the Scottish Parly seem like actual human beings.

Well, I wouldn't include Rennie in that for obvious reasons, nor, for even more obvious reasons, the oddball axe-murder Murphy.

I'm reluctant to provide a quote that might be used against me, but the one the Mail likes to call the "lesbian kick-boxer" actually seems quite normal for a Tory. She comes across as a human. Apart from being a Tory, obviously, which is unacceptable.

I did qualify with "in the Scottish Parly" to specifically exclude Murphy. Kez Dugdale seems alright. (It's so easy to forget Rennie exists).

Good point. It would be hilarious if Murphy loses his Westminster seat and then fails to win a Holyrood seat next year.

Sorry for the derail, but is there one single person left on these boards still willing to give it the 'ah, but he stuck it to the US congress' type defence of Galloway? FFS, even if he was right about the woman's age - I've no idea, I hadn't heard of the case till today - he still manages to act like a complete cunt.

Iirc some people were still coming out with that shit after his 'bad sexual etiquette' comments so wouldn't be at all surprised. Oh, and his spokesman is obviously a complete scumbag too.

 

[gosub]

makes sense, eliminates the possibility of a clear Labour government and simultaneously drives a wedge which could prevent a Lab/SNP coalition, or wreck one if it forms.

As SNP have ruled out formal coalition anyway, its all a bit daft, Trident to get through Parliament on Lab/Tory votes

And now there's a Labour candidate with a Putin connection - Mail story:

From that link: a typo worthy of the Grauniad.

Former aide to Labour leader Ed Milbiand is standing for party in Hampstead

why? does it create a wholly different word, or make the word it is attempting to say incomprehensible? Ir is it just putting a single letter in the wrong place?

you should know, maybe it was you who wrote the article

anyways they seem desperate to dig up dirt

 

[Dogsauce]

A labour candidate standing in Hampstead isn't really on a path to any kind of power, are they? Desperate.
