Padre Andrew Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The political threads have dried up a bit. Time to note that Wings is getting tore into “the brightest of Scottish Labour’s young minds”. http://wingsoverscotland.com/not-quite-getting-it/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The guy is a liabililty but brilliant In what way do you think he is a liability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 In what way do you think he is a liability? he can be unnecessarily crass. An example from today: finds the worst photo of Kezia Dugdale and captions it 'taking lessons in sisterly grace from Jackie Baillie'. On the other hand he does better than anyone else the fact-based busting of the likes of Dugdale's position. Unionists hate him for the latter, but the former allows them leverage into dismissing his views or monstering him personally to try to put undecided voters off visiting his site.

Fred_Zeppelin Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 In what way do you think he is a liability? He's a fruitcake, I don't know if he bevvys or just has a short fuse but every now and then he completely loses it on twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right, I don't see what he says on twitter. I just read the WOS stuff which usually seems OK to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Rampant Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Where did he say that? Hover your cursor over the picture and the text appears. His rants on twitter do detract from the message that he delivers, which is usually very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hover your cursor over the picture and the text appears. Not for me it doesn't. Just tried it. Feel like I'm missing out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 His rants on twitter do detract from the message that he delivers, which is usually very good. Maybe he is using his twitter to drum up some publicity for WOS? You know what they say "there's no such thing as bad publicity". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Granted, he's a bit of a loo-loo, but I'm bloody sure he got Yes a good few votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brant grebner Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I liked it when he said to all no voters " you all forever" on Sept 19th because I still agree 100 per cent with the sentiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Ah right, I don't see what he says on twitter. I just read the WOS stuff which usually seems OK to me.

Armchair Bob Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah his twitter spats are uncomfortable viewing. The official Yes campaign tried to distance themselves from him. I wondered why, as his contribution to the Yes campaign was/is immense, and the occasional intemperate post that appeared on his website wasn't enough to for anyone to distance themselves from Wings (especially when you consider senior members of the No campaign were going around calling yes supporters nazis, etc). Twitter has a lot to answer for, as a non-twitter user, the impression I get from outside is it is 99% flametroll bellends all winding each other up.
