That was a good one, as pisstakes go . A lot of people will believe it if told in the pub . Sturdy enough to grow legs .

 

[Frankie Jack]

Still hanging on.

Does anybody here kinda wish he stayed on? Im kinda enjoying the car crash nature of watching jim murphy as leader, like a really intense episode of the office, you cringe like fuck but for some reason its entertaining. If they do get rid of him, bring back iain grey. I always felt sorry for england not being able to witness the awesomeness of ian greys election campaign.

maybe not healthy for politics up here mind you

 

[Frankie Jack]

Kinda. His gurning does my head in though. 30 seconds is too long.

He was seen as a big pin up when I was NUS.

But what's so weird is that they're already here

and yet they still want Cap'n Jim at the helm. I mean I guess most Labour MSPs are working on their CVs right now so maybe they're a bit too busy to apply for the leader's job

Labour members call meeting in Glasgow to launch Jim Murphy leadership rebellion

In January 2008, while he was employed as a special adviser to the Secretary of State for Scotland, it emerged that in 2002 McTernan had branded Scotland as being "narrow" and "racist" during the period he worked for the Scottish Arts Council. In an email to the then Labour MSP Karen Gillon, who was about to make a trip to Sweden, McTernan wrote “If you’ve not been to Sweden before, I think you’ll really like it – it’s the country Scotland would be if it wasn’t narrow, Presbyterian, racist etc. etc. Social democracy in action.”[10] The email was obtained by the The Sunday Times under freedom of information legislation.[11][12]

Chief of staff?, that would be John McTernan, the Blairite scumbag who claimed Labour weren't the party for benefit scroungers and who as political adviser was so successful in Aus and N/Z, not! He also is claimed to have said the above,

what was Murphy thinking?

This is one of the things that fascinates me about JM; I mean the guy must have skin that makes rhino hide look thin. At what point does this complete oblviousness to reality and to what others are saying and doing flip over into full-blown sociopathy?

He has Gemma Doyles' hubs Greg Poynton, of the Falkirk farce, on his Comms team too.

It's actually 90% of SNP MPs that went to comprehensive schools. 5% was privately educated. (general population for UK is 7% privately educated).

I can only assume your figure is for "no further than comprehensive education", ie didn't go to college or uni after leaving school. Although I can't find that in the Sutton Trust report I assume you're using.
