Parklife Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I see there is beginnings of some story developing on twitter about Jim Fairlie opening up his gub again and putting his size 9's right in it. He's been arguing for immigration curbs to stop the problem of the bigger % of immigrants voting no at next referendum. Expect this to be thrown at Nicola like how Jim Sillars comments were dug out near the end of the referendum campaign and put on national news. Something said by someone not in the SNP will be thrown at Sturgeon? If she can't bat that one away and score a few points in to the bargain then she's not the woman i think she is.

Just like how Sillars managed to get himself the top story at News at Ten. There will be a question on immigration, guaranteed the other party researchers will have primed their candidates on this if Sturgeon has a go at them for pandering to UKIP.

Return of Yermaw Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 She'll get it tight I reckon. Labour and Tory vote is far too close for them to risk turning this into an exposing and possibly damaging 1v1. Saying that I reckon Cameron will play the Labour in Salmonds pocket line. I've seen enough of Nic to know she'll be able to handle anything thrown at her, as long as she is prepared. And how the fück is Farage bookies favourite to win this? He's an utterly shit debater, lacks answers and covers with that horrible sneering laugh. The bookies seem to be informed by the perception that Farage is a normal bloke who represents your average working joe and someone you would enjoy a pint with. It's bizarre how this perception is attached to a middle/upper-class former city man with xenophobic views........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she can't bat that one away and score a few points in to the bargain then she's not the woman i think she is. It's been batted away by a spokesman already. "Jim Fairlie has not been in the SNP for a quarter century" Fairlies a feckin' moron though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bzzzz Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Isn't it interesting that apparently "democratically" the people of Scotland voted to stay in the union yet the SNP taking numerous seats at Westminster is some kind of disgrace to THEIR democracy? Expect a lot of jock bashing here,funny,thought THEY won the referendum. .. who's running scared now Edited April 2, 2015 by Bzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The unionist media and polical parties almost universally seem to be making the exact same mistakes as they did during the referendum - they way they are attacking the SNP is just reinforcing how the Union doesn't work. Very bizarre approach as it will just make more people who aren't staunch unionists vote SNP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
