The Leaders' Mass Debate

[butchersapron]

Heard that Sturgeon was not so good tonight in the Scottish debate - any watchers?

 

[danny la rouge]

Didn't see it.

 

[pogofish]

Too tired after a day getting ready for the next Scottish debate. I helped solve the BBC's "power problem" this afternoon - and the "rehearsal" with a line-up of elderly hippyish riggers was a hoot - Nicola's stand-in looked like a plumper version of Robert Plant!

Thought it was on tommorrow...?

 

[weltweit]

Apparently Sturgeon was asked about the next referendum and she said it was up to the people.
But of a cop out I think that answer.

 

[ddraig]

still needs to be set up before init

They started building the set early yesterday.

not really, it equates to 'see if I get enough votes to have the mandate to set a date for another reff'

 

[pogofish]

So much for "you guys probably won't be involved" then!

I have my pass and I've been sworn to secrecy about what's going-on inside!

This is what all the papers have picked up on, and are presenting it as a negative. "Neverendum", "Sturgeon stumbles on Indy vote", etc. They're using this to suggest her performance wasn't quite as good as last week.

I still haven't seen last night's debate, but I think they miss the point. Those who see that as a stumble are Unionists. The vast majority of those planning to vote SNP in May are Yes voters, and they don't see the prospect of another referendum as a negative.

People who are anti-SNP, by and large, are anti-SNP because of independence. They're going to hate it when Sturgeon talks about a possible future referendum, but they're not Sturgeon's audience here in Scotland.

I probably won't watch tonight, either. This is why: Jim Murphy's face.




This clip is only 29 seconds long, but that's already pushing the envelope of my capacity to thole him.

 

[The Boy]

That was basically five people trying to kick lumps out of sturgeon. until they got bored and called Coburn a cunt for a bit.

It was hard work watching him...

 

[weepiper]

It was very shouty. Everyone did their level best to stop Nicola Sturgeon completing a sentence uninterrupted. Patrick Harvie was very good. David Coburn was, well, very UKIP. I switched off before the end but apparently the rest of them refused to shake his hand at the end and Sturgeon turned her back on him.

He's blatantly just pissed, shat and jizzed himself at the same time!

 

[DotCommunist]

Thats the first time I've seen jim murphy- the smirk on him!

You're lucky.

I am quite able to watch Miliband or Cameron for a while, listen to what they've got to say, and disagree with it. But I physically can't stomach Murphy. He awakens in me loathing akin to that I had for Thatcher. Not just loathing of ideas, but personal distaste. He is a loathsome, loathsome little snake.

 

[DotCommunist]

well, we both have our El Guappo's danny, because Cameron- tghe accent, the arrogance, the louche what-he-thinks-is-charm means that I haven't watched a full PMQ's in the last five years. Visceral disgust.

 

[xslavearcx]

He's got even worse since he's started trying to talk about the working class and sound social democratic.. Can you imagine someone being worse than when they presented themselves as full blown blairite? That's how bad it is ... Shudder....

From the Roman senate steps to the Three Amigos! in two posts. I salute your breadth of dilettantism.

Still haven't seen it, but it seems the public think she won: https://commonspace.scot/articles/9...urphy-lagged-behind-in-third-place-say-voters

 

[danny la rouge]

I believe there's another one tonight. Anyone tuning in?

dave's watching, apparently

 

[Teaboy]

Yup and his mate's have been invited on TV to comment on the debate, which, seen as he didnt want to show, seems entirely fair.

No, but more importantly...is it another eviction night, tonight? Will we find out the next two to leave?
