What are we to make of wee Eck (the spiv) hawking himself around the radio and TV stations to muscle in on the Scotland V England Rugby match? Forget the fact that he dodged a bullet when Scotland decided to field their ladies team, that's a separate issue. Is it not simply the case that senior politicians regularly show up at these events on the understanding that it is apolitical and should not be exploited? That; based on the evidence available rules out (the spiv) Salmond whose reputation over many years is that of a man who cannot see a belt without hitting below it.
Would anyone trust this charlatan whose instinct was to score political points when he witnessed houses and business premises being burned as well as injuries, loss of life and arrests being made when the recent riots occurred? His comments and his repugnant behaviour over this when he tried to suggest that such events were peculiar to England and did not happen in Scotland were all too typical of a man who as first minister has brought shame and embarrassment on his office and on the Scottish people. Are the people of Scotland beginning to rumble him? Let's hope so.

well there you go Salmond (Or his minions) Conspired to gain some free air time and patriotic glory.
Unfortunately a very Scottish characteristic of 'fairness' was missing and the BBC unable to have the other Scottish political parties leaders on at the same time........respectfully declined Salmonds offer not realising the kind of individual they were dealing with you see Salmonds offer was one you can not refuse.
Cant but help to laugh when hearing about Chris patten
'He said: “The First Minister has a specific complaint about the Calcutta Cup and the way his non-interview was handled. I’ve suggested that he should make a proper,
formal complaint,
or rather the government perhaps should on his behalf.'
No doubt this was music to Salmonds ears and as he waddled off eager and all excited to write down his long and tedious list of his imaginary slights and grievances(a life time of them)
The Men looked at each other raising their eye brows and smiling and shaking their heads at the pathetic wee man and his even more pathetic complaint.
Patten has got the measure of Salmond like the true English lord he is he told the Uppity Scot go off and send him a letter and Blimey Alex has been and gone and done it.........

On this occasion, having been approached by the First Minister’s office, BBC Sport asked for advice and with the full agreement of both the Head of TV Sport and the Director of BBC Scotland, the judgment was made that the Scotland-England match was not an appropriate setting in which to give one single political leader that level of prominence. The topicality of the current political debate over the future relationship of Scotland with the rest of the UK – and with England in particular – was one of the factors taken into account.
A similar suggestion that the First Minister might take part in BBC Radio Scotland’s rugby coverage had already been declined. Radio Five Live also turned down the offer of an interview with the First Minister following advice from the CPA.
The longer Salmond (the spiv) goes on with this farce the less credible and more embarrassing he becomes. I detect people are starting to see through it all.
He can't lock up people up or shoot them like Hitler so in the long term he's f****d.
They'll rumble him soon enough. Just like we're seeing the self serving phoney socialists of the Labour Party being rumbled in Glasgow. Labour has become the red tories -Labour started the present destruction of the welfare state, Labour now stand for part privitisation of the NHS, Labour now support the tory cuts.
Salmond wouldn't have a look in. The last few years haven't been and SNP success they've been a well deserved Labour loss.
And look at you. Not a word about 32 Scottish Labour MP's signing a motion supporting privitisation of the NHS, not a word about the threats and intimidation against a female councillor and her child in Labours heartland of Glasgow.
Socislists? Salmonds useful idiots is more like it -you'll be lucky to have a councillor left come May.

Just a couple of points here, the most obvious one is that you have neglected to share your own political views with us, who you vote for, which party if any you are a member of etc. The other rather obvious point is that you have offered nothing but personal subjective opinions, a coach and horses can be driven through this rather childish rant without brushing up against a single fact. Because you (who ever you are) say something is true does not make it so.
Face it, Councillor. Your party's in freefall, and all you can do is spit bile about this Calcutta cup froth. In Glasgow, labour's being exposed as weak, incompetent and nasty: have you anything to say about that?

Whoever you are, yes I do have something to say, thank you for asking. The Labour Party is not in free all, I am not spitting bile and the party is not weak, or incompetent or nasty. There that didn’t take long did it?
Sorry-I meant something with a connection to objective reality. Not to the la-la-la-not listening fantasy world you exist in.
Oh well. Less than three months until Scotland sees the error if it's ways and elects vast numbers of Labour councillors to continue the proud traditions of internecine strife and incompetence exemplified by the balloons currently running Glasgow. Or maybe not.
Actually-here's a question. Is it true that a representative of the UK Labour party chose councillors to be deselected? And what do you make of the response of Tommy Morrison in floating the idea of an alternative Labour party in Glasgow for the elections?

Let’s start at “Is it true” the rest is embarrassing drivel and could only be written by someone to ashamed to give an I.D. I have been a member of the Labour party for approx. 43 years and I have never once witnessed anyone from London or anywhere else telling me what to do. What do you make of Tommy Morrison and the others being happy labour Councillors for years and suddenly discovering after being deselected that they disagree with party Policy?

Councillor, the question was 'Did London choose the Councillors to be de-selected,' not 'Has anyone from London told Kelly what to do.'
I paraphrase, but you get the gist.. I'm suggesting you answer the question that was asked

Perhaps since it was you I should have added no. But since you raise the issue are you of the opinion that every candidate picked should live in the place they are putting themselves forward for? I am rather old fashioned in that regard in that I would always pick the best candidate for the job.
Councillor, I don't give a toss about Tommy Morrison's motivations, but I assume that his nose has been put out of joint: it's been made clear to him that decades in the Labour party counts for nothing once it's been decided from on high that your face doesn't fit.
The rest of my post wasn't embarrasing drivel, but I can understand why you'd become very defensive whenever someone brings up your party's prospects in May. Not good, are they?

I will ignore your stuff about Mr. Morrison and the labour Party which you clearly know nothing about but; as far as May is concerned I am as optimistic as ever. The struggle to create a Socialist Society is a cause which I will fight for until I can no longer do so. I suspect that that is something which you do not really understand, that’s why you hide your name isn’t it?
Hmmm. I'd say that Labour's had enough time to create a socialist society, so I guess that either the party cannot or will not. Not that I'm disappointed, you understand. Perhaps you should be. Maybe you're in the wrong party? But I guess that-until recently-Labour was the only game in town if you wanted to be elected to anything in West central Scotland. Thank God those days are gone forever, eh?
Bit patronising to say that I know nothing about Labour: I've spent most of my life in parts of Scotland governed by Labour at local or national level. So I'm pretty qualified to say that your party is as useful as a burst ball.
Good for you that you're optimistic. Since you've claimed that Oscar Wilde is one of your favourite writers, you'll be familiar with his aphorism that the basis of optimism is sheer terror.

“Hmmm. I'd say that Labour's had enough time to create a socialist society”
That’s interesting, how did you come to that conclusion then?
I have been a member of the labour Party for over 40 years and held quite a few jobs over that time and I can assure you that you know nothing about the labour party, other than what you get from the Murdoch media.
Is it not the case that if you really believed in what you were saying you would put your name to it? I have never hidden in my life and I don’t understand anyone who wants to voice opinions from a hiding place, I can only conclude that you are a coward who doesn’t really believe in what you are saying.
Conclude what you want, little man, but only a fool like you would equate a desire for anonymity with cowardice.
I've already told you I have direct experience of Labour's gift for maladministration, and I don't buy or read any Murdoch newspaper.

You choose to argue with me and my life is an open book, you remain hidden that makes you a coward.
