I actually hold Nick Palmer in good regard - he's a relative voice of sanity on PB, but as with so many others he has something of a blind spot about Scotland.James Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516007141763230886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-91817313026047636922014-12-31T01:45:19.880+00:002014-12-31T01:45:19.880+00:00James, it may have passed you by on PB a couple of...James, it may have passed you by on PB a couple of days ago, Nick Palmer exMP was rushing to join in the anti- Scottish and stampede by calling for tactical voting in Scotland, particularly in the Gordon constituency.<br /><br />I am pretty sure that this breaks some kind of Labour Party rules, not least coming from an experienced candidate who would expect loyalty from his own supporters.<br /><br />Quite why this vapid bore of a man is so keen to ingratiate himself with the braying yahoos on PB is as mysterious as what pleasure the reader is meant to get from his trivial and self-aggrandizing anecdotes which he fondly imagines to pass for sparkling wit.<br /><br />The chump should be locked in a room with Plato and Jack W and left to patronise each other into silence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-58514881083183474692014-12-30T21:10:49.792+00:002014-12-30T21:10:49.792+00:00Smithson is a racist as well as a deluded LibDem z...Smithson is a racist as well as a deluded LibDem zealot. <br /><br />He's also a total and utter liar.<br /><br />MikeSmithson Posts: 2,291<br /> 6:41AM<br />antifrank said:<br />If the data hasn't finished dripping out, might it be that the SNP are looking for a big headline on 1 January?<br /><br />Until the drip stops, it's a little dangerous drawing conclusions. If it stops without the polling figure, the conclusion suggested looks right.<br /><br />The point was made very clearly in the email that this was the "last finding". But then again the SNP told us before September 18th that there's be no other referendums if it was a NO. <br /><br />Nobody other than the Scotophobes has ever said there would never be another referendum. <br /><br />He repeats his smear from the column header and doesn't bother to correct it. The man is disgusting. Although anybody who enjoys the company of Plato, Rodger, ScottP, MonicafromMonza, Fitalass, Fluffythoughts, Carlotta and SeanT is proven to be either mad or a bigot.

I suspect he has shorted the SNP and so is trying to drive the price down. I would never believe a gambler's opinion because he is covering his own bets.Denisenoreply@blogger.com
