Toepoke Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I think Salmond's closing line was the funniest. Was it this one:- "I think their judgement is askew but if they think I'm a threat to the Westminster establishment like Guy Fawkes, they are right."

thplinth Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 If ever we get uppity again they will all round on us just like they did in 2014. Just like they have always done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 can't work out if it was deliberate or not. It's actually bonfire night not Burns night. Burns....bonfire...geddit? Bit of a low blow but it does come from the hotbed of Scottish nationalism that is George Watson's College... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just brought my daughter back from a local display. Lewes not the only place where Salmond effigy got burned. Though in fairness Farage Milliband Cameron and Clegg all got the same treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washboarder Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 widnae be surprised if the effigy was funded by the sfa just to rile the scots fans up so that the sfa could sell more tickets for the ingurlund game, nothing surprises me these days what the sfa do. tongue n cheek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) The problem is the double standards, we know exactly the abuse and accusations from MSM if this were a unionist politician on a Scottish bonfire. And okay if you're burning an effigy of a politician that's one thing but when you start bringing in other Scottish symbols that broadens it and makes it something else. Though hey Eddard some of your unionist friends like setting fire to the emblems of Scotland if my memory serves me right about the post referendum events in George Square. Spot on. Targeting a single politician could be deemed satire. Throw in symbols of a movement and a whole people, especially a minority, and it crosses a line... As for the media - didn't the Daily Mail recently take the trouble to expose the trollers of the Queens twitter account as disgraceful cybernats?

Maq Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 From Twitter: Remember to check under your bonfire in case there's a Scotch chap asleep there. Prickly fellows. Can't take a joke. So, not even Salmond anymore? Just 'a scotch chap'? Hilarious. You know you're posting on a forum for Scottish football fans, aye?

Nice try at use of emotive language though. The Scottish symbols on the effigy are to lampoon the shortbread tin nationalism of which Salmond is the hallmark, not Scotland as a nation.

Eisegerwind Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 If we had chosen to be a nation when we had the chance we could have laughed this off for the nonsense that it is. We didn't, so there's not much point taking offence at people taking the piss out of a region of the UK that bottled it big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
