  1. Oh and another thing. The local paper can't include it in today's issue - because it was printed YESTERDAY. .... farcical.
  2. Yip - it's all over social media though. And that's way more powerful as it's prompting and facilitating discussion.
  3. It hasn't even made the news where we are yet. Inverclyde now isn't exactly Regional. One of the SNP councillors, McEleny, asked for a meeting with McCabe, labour leader of the cooncil to discuss going forward ... He was refused.

  5. Off Thursday and Friday. Can't believe how quickly this has come round.
  6. There's a few no voters I've spoken to who are actually thinking about changing their mind. ... and they were vehemently no. Between violating purdah, the imminent pay rise and Gordon Brown, they're running out of feet to shoot themselves in.
  7. Benefits being better under Westminster. ... or, my personal favourite - I don't know enough so I'm voting no. To which my response was "what do you want to know? " an hour of my life I am happy to donate. At least they have some information now.
  8. Just pinched your clip for Facebook. It's extremely telling of the contempt that Westminster has for us that they haven't really engaged with any part of the campaign. I can't believe how badly they've been advised on how to handle the referendum. But then again - it's hard to argue when you don't have a strong point.
  9. Wild Theme from Local Hero film- Mark Knopfler: Brilliant thread :-D
  10. I haven't bought the Record in 30 years. I haven't read a printed copy in the same time frame. But I will tomorrow!
  11. I think he was doing it to remind everyone of his part in the events of that terrible evening. While I applaud him for assisting those who were trapped, it's a poor attempt at point scoring and comparing eggs to blood is really scraping the barrel for political reasons.
  12. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-2896967 Edit to add the link it was posted to his twitter. I saw a really bad taste quote from him "it's not my egg - wish I'd brought a change of shirt" I'm paraphrasing. But it was a direct reference to the Clutha interview. ... at that point I lost any respect I had remaining for him.
