Return of Yermaw Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Murphy when asked in the past week on his views on coalitions - I am only interested in Labour being the majority Government. I don't want to talk about what happens after the election and neither do the voters want to hear about this. Murphy when asked about the SNP surge - the more votes to the SNP then all it means is that after Election Day, the Tories will be the party with the majority. That is clear. Of course I am para-phrasing a number of Murphy conversations but I am not quite sure if it is okay to talk about events after Election Day or not.........

Maq Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Jeezo - he's having some day today! So after Stewart Hosie stating enequivocally that the manifesto wouldn't contain plans for a referendum, and Nicola Sturgeon saying that another referendum isn't on the horizon - that the GE is about strengthening Scotland's position within the UK, surprise surprise (despite Kezia Dugdale saying yesterday that the SNP would be looking for a rerun of Indyref) there was no mention of another referendum in the manifesto! Jim's response? @JimForScotland: The SNP have broken their promise on re-running referendum. White Paper said 'once in a generation' but their manifesto doesn't rule it out. :lol: Folk having fun with this on Twitter! @Tucker5law: All school uniforms to be replaced with that hideous commonwealth games tartan. Not yet ruled out by #snpmanifesto #snpbetrayal @chrisaddison67: Haggis to be eaten at EVERY meal by newly arrived immigrants...hasn't been ruled out. #SNPbetrayal #snpmanifesto @markrowantree: The lying bastards have not ruled out invading Poland in June either!

I thought the Iain Gray led Holyrood campaign in 2011 was pitiful but at least they were ahead in the polls, and for quite some time too. Time will tell, but this current Labour campaign is disastrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Skeletor on Reporting Scotland just now making an absolute fool of himself. He keeps on talking about the SNP and the referendum, then he says 'it's not about the referendum'. Then he talks about the SNP and the referendum again. Sally Magnusson is pishing herself laughing at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Watching it now on catch up, what an awful performance, does he think that will encourage people to vote for him. Hope he lasts long as Labour Branch Supervisor, Labour should just die, the sooner the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
