ShedTA Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Here is where is all started from Vile Nats http://www.libdemvoice.org/resemblance-was-coincidental-45403.html so it was some lib dem wifey - and immediately the blame goes on the snp? hounding of the girl is unacceptable regardless of political leanings but to lay this at the SNP's door is a laugh.

Pool Q Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) To be honest when I saw the photos I thought it might well be the same woman. Not sure obviously, but certainly a resemblance. Don't care though, even if it was her (and I'm perfectly happy to accept that it isn't), then she shouldn't be on the end of any abuse from cretins on social media. Fair enough highlight any dishonesty in portraying an activist as an 'undecided' when it occurs (and it does), but play the ball not the man/woman Edited April 9, 2015 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld_Reekie Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You must have missed the SNP/Yes lassie with 11K followers calling her a "skank". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return of Yermaw Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I wish I had been in the audience as an undecided but was able to announce to Cook that Coburn's well argued points had persuaded me to vote UKIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunnered Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 He's truly a lunatic. I imagine he's also the type to share Facebook posts saying "this persons a paedo... Or steals dugs!... Or supports Labour". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I used to say it's the standard of press that is the biggest problem in society, but if you're falling for this sort of thing, it's gullibility that is a problem, can't be blaming someone for beleiving the shyte in a paper then go on full blast about this, you have the same problem as them.

Squirrelhumper Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 There's normal, rational Yes voters. Some that let their emotions get ahead of them at times. And some complete and under loonies. I'm probably a mixture of the first two but there's definitely some in the latter category on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Now you are getting abusive Pondlife.Nah. If I wanted to get abusive I'd say something like "you're a stark raving mad lunatic, and a fecking too". I won't though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I used to say it's the standard of press that is the biggest problem in society, but if you're falling for this sort of thing, it's gullibility that is a problem, can't be blaming someone for beleiving the shyte in a paper then go on full blast about this, you have the same problem as them. Yes there are gullible and vicious on both/all sides and that is regrettable. This could be blamed on education/upbringing. But - since you mentioned the press - I think it's reasonable to say the media is still disproportionately on the right, disproportionately reflecting views from south of the border and disproportionately unionist. This means that the gullible will be disproportionately gulled towards accepting those points of view, and the vicious on the other sides will be disproportionately hauled over the coals for it. I think this is a problem for democracy - you could call a democratic deficit - which is not news to anyone on the receiving end of it but it is almost never mentioned or admitted by those on the right/south/unionist positions. Whenever Salmond mentioned it, he was ridiculed for being a sore loser. When people protested at BBC HQ, they were called thugs. When Sturgeon was framed then called a liar for denying it, people shrugged it off. When a top civil servant said normal rules didn't apply for the referendum, business continued as usual. You'd imagine hell would freeze over before anyone like Andrew Neil would ever admit anything was amiss. But I could be wrong. Let's see if / how he handles the events of This Week tonight...

phart Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The press are protecting their own interests, all this impartial talk is just self serving lies. The glory of the 5th estate doesn't exist. Like the justice system they are just mechanism for control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
