The Leaders' Mass Debate

[ViolentPanda]

when last i smoked woodbines there wasn't a filter on them.

Well, whatever they were, they were strong and stinky, and I say that as a Marlboro smoker at the time.

Sturgeon 'mobbed' in Scotland today after the debate performance.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics...rgeon-snp-supporters-edinburgh-leaders-debate

I presume she didn't do well in the general polls on how well each leader did because most of the people voting were English? I didn't see the debate, what was she saying that urban approved of so heartily and left English voters relatively unmoved?

She did very well in the general polls - the only one to have agreement that she won/did very well outside of each parties supporters.

3 small but telling things for me regarding that prick last night:

- "Canny Scots" - I really wouldn't be surprised if he thinks Jewish folk are "shrewd" as well.

- The little chuckle to himself after saying "it's true isn't it?" when Wood correctly slapped him down (she is so remarkable, he's not fit to lick her boots but I wish I could). He enjoys blaming people with AIDS for stuff. His self enamourment is gargantuan. Different planet from the others in that respect.

- Signing off with bluster about "political correctness". There is nothing at all refreshing about this bloke. He is the least refreshing.

The other blokes did actually have some new-ish and subtle calibrations, even if they were generally dull. The women made solid anti austerity points. NF just slops out something that could have been in the Daily Mail 25 years ago. That's deliberate, it's the market. It's risible and moribund.

Lovely story on Griffin having a swipe at Sturgeon and SNP.

They give the tweet itself:

The comments are precious, starting off from the "suave as fuck"

Listening to this, I don't see how leftie who is attracted to females couldn't have a thing for her.

I don't care how attractive she is or isn't, I listened to a little bit and now I want to go back to Wales. Or the bloody moon, really, if it had Welsh accents on it. Oh well.

Pretty funny Twitter poll in the Torygraph. SNP by a mile, Greens and Plaid neck and neck for a distant second. Cameron last ...

To save a Torygraphclick:



I really like Leanne Wood. I wish I could vote for her in Llambeth, Llundain.

i just missed two letters which unfortunately happened to be the two which undermined my point.

 

[skyscraper101]

was interesting to see how much airtime was given over to this 'debate' on News At 10 last night... pretty much most of the news, including an extended copy of googlebox to show how 'real voters' were reacting to the whole thing.

Never mind a massacre in Kenya and an Iranian Nuke deal which got a passing mention

 

[youngian]

incidentally, no party now in parliament espouses independence for the six counties.

I'm no expert on the political strategy of Sinn Fein MPs but this is not a surprise

 

[8ball]

At home with the folks at the mo.

My old man is right of UKIP by a mile but even he said 'the young Scottish lady spoke well' which I thought was interesting. Also interesting that he didn't think Farage up to much.

I think this little shindig played well for the smaller parties.

Who made up that Sturgeon and French ambassador story. Was it articul8? I expect to be shocked by the cost and frequency of her hairdressing appointments or something soon.

 

[Idris2002]

the nf did for a spell

In the 1950s the Stormont regime flirted with the idea of dominion status.

I think elements of the UDA were also attracted to independence for "Ulster" in the 1970s.

Whoever made it up, it's the 2015 version of the Zinoviev Letter.

Telegraph seems to publish a lot of outright disinformation lately. There was a bunch of Greece stuff the other day too.

Weren't they planning on a bit of ethnic cleansing and a redrawing of the borders as part of that?

 

[nino_savatte]

Let's not forget the fake Galloway story either.

I liked reading that they were inspired by Rhodesia and its UDI.
