Scunnered Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Oor Wullie ? He always has the one and seeks to have it repaired does he not? I remember in one issue someone gifted him a plastic bucket after his broke, and the plastic one couldn't hold his weight and it collapsed! Hilarious!

scotlad Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Shows to me that nothing has changed over the years in the north branch's visceral hatred of the SNP. Aye, indeed. And in their absence, some of their colleagues from the southern branch have taken to nat-bashing. Apparently two female SNP MPs were heckled by a group of Labour MPs this week. Oh, and Winnie's point still stands: it still isn't quite clear how much Scottish exports raise for the UK exchequer! The lovely Jeane Freeman is taking an awful lot of abuse from nasty Sheridan types on Twitter. Where's the ferocious bears in George square when you need them? Jeanne Freeman's ace. Apparently she's standing for Holyrood next year, which is pleasing. As for Tommy Sheridan, he still has the ability to beguile, I'll give him that. Banning the Sunday Herald - one of the very few pro-independence Scottish newspapers - from the press area is just bizarre though. Makes me wonder exactly what was going on in George Square today. He always has the one and seeks to have it repaired does he not? I remember in one issue someone gifted him a plastic bucket after his broke, and the plastic one couldn't hold his weight and it collapsed! Hilarious! Childhood obesity is hilarious, is it? For shame, Scunnered, for shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Indeed. Freeman is standing for SNP... I believe she'll be on the list. When she announced it I sent her a congratulatory tweet giving her my respect and saying she'll be "a test for the strictest whip in UK politics". A lovely woman indeed.

Ally Bongo Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Someone want to explain why a ban is even possible not to mention how they enforced it ? Regardless of everyone's opinion's about Sheridan it all seems to smell a bit like horseshit I have been wrong before however Personally id like to see him take a hiatus from the whole scene. Far too divisive Edit - it appears to be horseshit as i thought Eddi Reader has said there was absolutely no security. Nobody checking anyone However it is now coming out that the Sunday Herald wanted backstage access and it is this which was refused Edited September 19, 2015 by Ally Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hertsscot. So passionate. So knowledgeable. Experienced Scottish life growing up in Herts via Jimmy Shand and living outside Scotland despite all it's superior qualities. Illogical.

Och come on #HopeOverFear organisers have also banned our reporter from George Square as well as our photographer. Now impossible for us to cover this There'll be a full report tmrw on why the Sunday Herald can not report on the #HopeOverFear rally due to staff being banned from the event Edited September 19, 2015 by Ally Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 So confrontational Yes - but they then went on to imply then had been banned from the whole event - it's certainly what i took from their second and third tweets that were retweeted I dont follow them on Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Great post Ersatz, thanks for that. The Hansard link made for fascinating - if uncomfortable - reading. Going by that Winnie Ewing was treated disgustingly. The speaker ought to have insisted that Archie Manuel apologise to her; completely uncalled for comments. The Commons can still be a bit of a bear pit but MPs know they can't get away with as much as they used to. Just an aside, but did you mean Wille Ross - the 'hammer of the nats' - rather than Ernie Ross? Willie Ross was certainly a contemporary of Winnie's but Ernie Ross was elected until 1979, after Winnie Ewing lost her seat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Ross I did mean Willie Ross ! Argh Winnie Ewing was bang on when she said that night. "I am taking note of what the hon. Member said, and Scotland will take note of it, too." At least Winnie is still here and saw the "the 56" elected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I more ormless blanked the anniversary apart from reading my timehop from last year which made me remember how shit I felt. I had to work nightshift the Saturday, got home the Sunday morning and that's when it sunk in, I drank half a bottle of whisky and felt sorry for myself. We will get there one day.
