Jim Murphy (Again!)


Recommended Posts

Apparently 'angry nationalist crowds' barracking Jim and Ed in Glasgow?

According to Severin Carrell (Guardian live feed / Twitter)

Video clip from Channel 4 here

If they wore masks mimicking some convoluted coalition scenario and were silent, they would still be described as angry nationalists. This comment is probably typical of cybernat bile and hatred.............

Are there any other kinds? :wink2:

Literally just seen another Guardian article today reporting from Sturgeon in Edinburgh

"I have never been in such a happy political mob."

In seriousness though... Some folk are their own worst enemy. No one is impressed when folk are ranting about "Red Tories" and "quislings" and the like, unless they're already like minded. Most folk just think they're tits... And they're right!

The more rancid stuff is counter-productive.

But then... If you look at the C4 news clip, it's more like a loose rabble of protestors in a car park, with someone chanting "Cheerio! Cheerio! Cheerio!" Also something sounding like anti-Iraq. Maybe an anti-Labour protest? But it's still reported as an 'angry nationalist crowd' (though maybe it was another crowd somewhere else...)

I'm not sure, I haven't even watched the above video. James Cook said it was an unpleasant, angry group. I have a bit of man crush on him so quite believe him.

Well I'm not meaning to defend an unpleasant, angry group, that I haven't seen... But the clip I did see didn't seem newsworthy

I see his tweet was "Not a huge crowd here - calling themselves "anarchists, non-aligned socialists, & some SNP members" - but pretty intimidating. #ge2015"

FFS - 12 numpties holding 'anarchy' signs and dressed in black hoodies and sunglasses. Looked like a green brigade tribute mob. And Miliband went in the backdoor of the venue to avoid them. God forbid the media should see anyone disagreeing with the Liebour leader.

Bet its no the first time he has... went in the back door... :oops:

....and only the National reported the SNP campaign shop in Partick getting punched and booted during the Orange walk, with the one woman in it getting threatened.

It's only really newsworthy if they attack and threaten by deploying the dreaded weapon commonly known as STICKERS. No STICKERS no story.

I'd hate to see how Cook would react to being in the middle of an Old Firm crowd. He'd need adult nappies based on his over-reaction today
