Desperation really set in wi them if that’s what their priorities are, appealing to the staunch while denying the truth. They’re also trying to put Sturgeon on the spot, if this goes thru she’ll look bad to all decent people if it doesn’t the blue bears etc will claim she’s anti Rangers. Surely the bampots who raised this have more pressing matters to attend to with what’s happening in the world today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were Sturgeon I would tell them to GTF. Any decent Ranges supporter will see this for what it is and lets be honest the rest will never support anything she does anyway.

They would have been more in tune with Scotland & not just one section of our population if they’d ask the Scottish parliament to vote on Boris Johnson’s continuous lies to the British public.

scotlad Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I thought this was a doctored post or a tweet from a parody account but sadly it isn't; below is a genuine tweet from a genuine SNP councillor from Oban, Julie McKenzie: For anyone who doesn't know Carr's joke was about gypsies and it was, IMO, a pretty sick joke. But prosecuting him and even his audience?? Come on tae fuck! 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think it was very funny but I could understand the point which he was trying to make, which was essentially that there were lots of other marginalised groups targeted in the holocaust alongside Jews. That’s obviously far too nuanced for people like that councillor though. edit, I just didn’t think it was a very good joke, not that the subject matter should be off limits.

scotlad Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I thought the point of the joke was to poke fun at people's prejudices, rather than to mock people being systematically slaughtered. Either way, to suggest that people be legally prosecuted - with everything that entails - just for laughing at something...🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that's the case as well but if you have to explain a joke then it probably wasn't very funny in the first place.

I'm no fan of Starmer or Johnson but are the media saying that Johnson is lying because Starmer doesn't accept responsibility for the decisions that were made by people working for him, whilst he was DPP? Is it correct that Starmer was the man in charge when the decision was taken not to prosecute Saville? If he is saying that the decisions taken by people working for him are not his responsibility then it sounds like a strange line to take for somebody who wants to be PM?

It's just a dead cat which to an extent hasn't so much bounced but rebounded on Johnson. The idea would have been to try and establish some kind of equivalence between him and Starmer and get people talking about Starmer instead. However, 10 days on, not only are people still going on about parties, they're also going on about what Johnson said and in fact Starmer has not only come out of this intact but with it appears a great level of sympathy. The subsequent clarification - it's a matter of public record what he *actually* said - is an attempt to row back on his accusation falling completely flat. As you point out, it's an interesting line to take when you've spent months trying to put the blame on everything that's been going on in Downing Street on the individuals responsible rather than accept responsibility for the failure of the organisation.

The pair of them are as bad as each other. It's interesting that the media seem to be backing Starmer on this one. If the facts, as I understand them, are correct, and Starmer was in charge of the department that decided not to prosecute Saville, then what Johnson said isn't a lie. Never thought I'd ever type that statement. 😂 It might be a floundering ridiculous attempt at whatabootery, but what he said wasn't wrong.

Never thought I'd ever type that statement. 😂 It might be a floundering ridiculous attempt at whatabootery, but what he said wasn't wrong. This is the exact quote from Johnson. Quote 'He spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile.' He's saying that Starmer was personally responsible for the decision not to prosecute Savile, which is a lie. If he wanted to be correct then he should have said "His department spent most of their time..." but that wouldn't have conveyed the false impression he wanted to spread.

If your dog shits on your neighbour’s lawn, you might feel that you need to go and apologise, it doesn’t mean that you took a dump there yourself. The impression that Johnson was hoping to get across was that Starmer was personally, knowingly and deliberately protecting Savile and not that he was a poor leader who wasn’t providing the proper level of oversight to his department. it’s the difference between being accountable for something and responsible for it.

slasher Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Please tell me that some of you saw the STV news report on the guy the Americans are trying to extradite on faking his own death after being accused of rape and fraud. Not to make light of any crimes he may have committed but the footage of him leaving court had me in knots. Apart from the fact that he resembles a Scooby Doo villain with a phantom of the opera style hat, he looked comical trying to speak to reporters through an oxygen mask. Then the moment to end all, the cops dropping him as they tried to lift him in an electric chair into a taxi. I was actually buckled, bent double. It's the most I have laughed in a long time. If you haven't seen it make a point of trying to catch it. It won't disappoint! 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
