aaid Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Funny they haven't asked the French ambassador to confirm the story. Almost like it was all made up. French consul-general denying the reports now according to the Guardian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one t in scotland Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm awaiting the startling revelation next week that Sturgeon in fact voted 'No'. Straight from the janny at the polling station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 the page i'm reading is from a timeline http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/election-2015-32164815 But this is how they do it - we seen it all through the referendum The damage has already been done by the way they initially reported it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of Paisley Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Bannnaaan - I am 99% confident. If folk were swayed by this then I would honestly feel they are buttoned up the back. Why on earth would Sturgeon alienate 100,000 members at a stroke? It is Torygraph and BBC scaremongering. Utterly desperate stuff. But I am not surprised in all honesty. Expect more of this shite in the next 5 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyDenoon Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) But this is how they do it - we seen it all through the referendum The damage has already been done by the way they initially reported it You're right. It's all about the initial impact and the impression it leaves. Most people are lazy and decide what they "know" to be true based on a few seconds headline and nothing more. The suggestion/implication is now out there and few will be bothered about understanding the substance behind the real truth.This kind of journalism was rife during the referendum campaign and it will be rife again for the next few weeks. It's like pissing into a force ten gale. Edited April 3, 2015 by DaveyDenoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 No real surprise - hours after someone at the Torygraph sticks a 1st Place label beside Sturgeon on the front page regarding her performance in the 7-way debate they are scurrying around scraping the barrel trying to put the boot in with a complete load of bollocks. I'd certainly hope that the electorate up here is a wee bit wiser since September and won't believe any of the avalanche of absolute sh*te that will flow from this and other "impartial" outlets in the coming weeks.

King Of Paisley Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Kumnio - what has that braindead little ####wit being saying on Twitter? No doubt being trying to make some desperate capital out of it no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Eh... hang on... it's Easter Friday isn't it, between 9.30 and 11.30 pm - who is listening what the Telegraph says in this time period between their claim and its denial? Anyone remotely interested in politics would have seen Sturgeon the other night - surely it's too late to be smeared as some at the Telegraph would like it - SNP as nasty natlonal socialists? The worst that has been said is that the anti-austerity is not economically credible or Trident unworkable - it's surely clear as day who is on the right and who is on the left from Thursday's debate - surely it's all too late for the Telegraph now. And even maybe, just maybe, too late for the BBC. Edited April 3, 2015 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNsTeR Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 The fictitious story on front of Telegraph & Mail has just been comprehensively dismantled on BBC News Channel newspaper review. #BBCpapers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Funny they haven't asked the French ambassador to confirm the story. Almost like it was all made up. French ambassador has now categorically denied the story, according to Twitter. Even more alarmingly, Duncan Hothersall has admitted he f*cked up and has apologised. The ambassador did confirm, however, that Sturgeon scoffed the last Ferrero Rocher at the reception, the naughty, naughty woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 What is it about Scotland that some of these papers and politicians find so desperately compelling, that they are so contemptuous of Scotland, and yet they are apparently so desperate to clinging on to us? They are so spooked that the SNP will upset the old two-party status quo, that they'd even rather break up the old status quo themselves, - Michaal Gove admitting he'd rather people voted Labour and had a Labour majority government, than let SNP have any say. Why not just let Scotland go, and keep it to good old Lab v Con in rUK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thats the $64000 question Given the way it is... with a 64.000% lead... a month away from a referendum. Could you get 'through' that month and get a Yes? If not how % much would be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
