Comrades! Be upstanding and bow your heads to your superior, The Right Honourable The Lord Darling of Ruilanish, revolutionary socialist of Her Majesty:
Ah, the old days.
Wonder how that Workers’ Republic is coming along.
Did you have to post this, wid gie ye the dry boak
Would be interesting to find out what the guy carrying the banner on the right thinks?
At least the ermine will keep him warm in this cold weather.
He may enjoy the ” immunities ” of a Baron ! Wonder what they are?
Reward for “services rendered” to the British Empire. God save the Queen.
Ah, the man who helped to deregulate the banks…who happened to become their saviour.
Jailed for collusion? No. But they did demonise one man and strip him of his knighthood.
That makes everything okay.
Vile – Frankly.
Maybe he will establish a radical movement to effect ordinary Lords Workers’ conditions, e.g. subsidised craft beers in addition to champagne, substantial real increase in daily Lords allowance?
Once a radical …
He will rue la what?
We’re not worthy.
Just the image one might expect to see on the board of directors of an American bank….. NOT!
I presume the fact that he´s wearing gloves is to enable him to say at a future date, such as now, that he has never actually “touched” such a banner and put a suitable distance to such “youthful” activities.
I wonder how he feels having been beaten to the HoL by Mone?
I suppose Captain Darling’s elevation to the Peerage is simply the latest example of the belief, everyone becomes more right-wing and reactionary as they get older.
He has receive his reward for “saving” the Union – well, at least for a wee while longer – but, on seeing him joining the Upper House, I am moved to paraphrase the Bard, from Tam o’ Shanter:
“Ah, Al! Ah, Al! thou’ll get thy fairin!
In hell, they’ll roast thee like a herrin!”
We need those with a pro-republic point-of-view within the independence movement to be louder to get the issue higher up the political agenda.
Why is he wearing the ermine on his head?
“I suppose Captain Darling’s elevation to the Peerage is simply the latest example of the belief, everyone becomes more right-wing and reactionary as they get older.”
My arse,
he’s just over two years older than me and I’ll NEVER turn into a right-wing anti independence supporter.
People like Darling Brown et al are for sale to the highest bidder.
Aye, a few values and principles have had to be ditched along the way in order to make that journey.
So the ex revolutionary is taking that well trodden road to the House of Lords, a place of privilege
and patronage and £300 a day expenses.
how does that square with his fairer and more equal society that he as part of the previous Labour Government claimed they stood for?
Also has he peddled the excuse yet, often used by his Labour predecessors who took the ermine that they were going in order to reform the House of Lords.
No, I’d better not.
(Mrs M doesn’t like it when I go off on one).
How and ever there’s an ermine lined robe in that top pic with a treacherous weasel inside it.
The Labour Party motto: Aye, the working class can kiss my ass!
Just a thought

Ah, the spoils of selling your country up the river. Wonder why Scotland has had hundreds if not thousands of his type throughout our history? Yep, we are an unfathomable people right enough.
Every cloud has its silver darling … .
Affront though it is – on the up-side, the more time these characters spend infesting that place dribbling at themselves, the less time they’re lurking around up this way.
With any luck, betwixt his stoat-garbed (weasel more appropriate I’d think) activities and banking collusion, we won’t be seeing or hearing that much more of Flipper. At which point I begin to wonder if £300/day isn’t actually a bargain.
—
OT – how on earth does anyone at WM now refer to AC as ‘honourable’ or ‘right honourable’? Problems, problems.
Replaced the ‘Red Flag’ with the ‘Red Robe’.
The aye..brows have it….The aye..brows have it.
and to think a poor beautiful weasel died to adorn that creatures neck. Insult to weasels everywhere.
They should shackle these sleekit lordies with brass collars to match their brass necks.

“Would be interesting to find out what the guy carrying the banner on the right thinks?”
Isn’t that George Foulkes?
Edit: nah – scratch that, the guy’s walking in a straight line…
One would be forgiven for suspecting that Darling was a neo-liberal Tory all along, sent to infiltrate the Labour party to ensure that they followed American-led foreign and economic policies.
Not hypocrisy, just good acting, it’s the banner waving socialist Darling that’s the fake, not the Lord in ermine.
Oh my Darling,
Oh my Darling,
Oh my Darling in ermine.
You sold your country down the river,
Now you’re dressed in fine ermine.
I’m reminded of the statement attributed to various people including Churchill “If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40 he has no brain”. I remember putting it on my facebook (years ago when I had one) and it was very informing to see who ‘liked’ the comment. Personally, I think it really means:
When you’re 20 you should be a socialist, when you’re 40 you should be socialised.
I wasn’t a socialist at 20 because at uni I was humble enough to know that I didn’t know very much, so I wasn’t really anything. At 40, I’m a socialist because at 40, I don’t care what others think of me and because at 40 it’s become pretty clear that if everyone is right wing, society really is f*****.
Quote from Chomsky
As long as some specialized class is in position of authority, it is going to set policy in the special interest it serves. But, the conditions of survival and justice require rational, special planning in the interest of the community of the whole (and by now that means the global community).
Not a quote from Chomsky
Friedman is not a God; if anything, he was a bit of a dick, and the real world laboratory for his experiments would tend to support that diagnosis.
I think it’s the Pilton area of North Edinburgh he’s shown with the flag. Bet he’s not been there for many a year. A long way from the Grange area (Rowling territory) where he lives now. I just don’t know how these people have the nerve to take the ermine etc.
A small point. Shouldn’t that be Lord Darling of Roulanish, not Ruilanish?
Some info on Roulanish. – link to en.wikipedia.org
He looks like a right plonker,doesn’t he? I’m glad he’s not on our side.
A long winding road to the absolute betrayal of everything and everyone in Scotland.
I wonder if the other people from the march remember him.

Was that a brown envelope he handed over before being baronised?
Darling is the living epitome of “bought and sold for English gold”
Sic a parcel o’ rouges in a nation(oops sorry, region).
Who is the dude with the yellow cape and a stick/pole?
Och he was only pretending, like the people in the Labour Party who were formerly Communist, were members of CND.
Choked on my coffee this morning listening to members of the said Party talking about other members dragging the Labour Party to the left, strange I thought it was a left wing party, some mistake I think.
BBC Radio Scotland pushing hard on behalf of Labour over Forth Road Bridge. Derek Mackay in the witness box soon.
In 1995 at Westminster Alistair Darling called the proposed second Forth road crossing “this ridiculous bridge” ,
The plans for a second Forth Road Bridge met with stiff opposition from environmentalists and from the Labour dominated City of Edinburgh Council on the grounds of the increased traffic. Following the Labour victory in the 1997 general election the proposals were shelved by Tony Blair’s government.
Prior to the dissolution of FETA earlier this year, Labour dominated FETA made decisions on their programme and priorities of repairs completely independently of Transport Scotland.
Amey have confirmed that the ongoing truss end strengthening works are to a different part of the truss end linkage system to that which failed earlier this week.

Thanks for that, I wasn’t aware it was a Churchillian quote, I understood it to be ‘…..not a rebel by 30, got no heart, not establishment by 40, got no brains’, which may be an Americanised version I suppose.
I have always thought it a genius bit of blackmail followed blindly by those desperate to conform, be accepted, fit in.
In other words, a sheep. Or a muppet. Either or will do.

– still it is an amazing piece of blatant propaganda.
Worth watching again.
Corrupted by the lure of power and status.
I grew up in Ross and Cromarty and have never heard of him being anywhere near us, if I met him however the thought of deploying and swift kick to the nether regions would be too tempting not to take up.
Up the workers…right up ’em.
Once you’ve betrayed your country, everything else is easy I suppose.
Lord Darling of Morgan Stanley would be a more fitting title.
A true blue turncoat opportunist if ever there was one.
If Lord Darling of flipper has to attend urgent House of Lards business from the USA, will the UK taxpayer help cover the costs in order to make sure he and Morgan Stanley are not out of pocket?
Every Labour Party union rep and councillor’s dream.
This is what they live for, hoping one day to walk through the doors of the House of Lords.
Arise Sir Humphrey Bumphrey.
A shower of parasites, one and all.
A bet you Carmicheal is wishing he got gubbed at the last election as well. That could have been him walking through the hallowed corridors of the Lords.
Patience Alistair, your day will come.
For the record, I couldn’t watch any more than 40 seconds of that video.
not much of a bow – must be a secret leftie! or not
On a journey from impotence to impotence with only self-enrichment in between
I said I would not blog on here again but I am amazed that so many of you do not know that Darling is English born in London so he has not betrayed his country he has seved it well in stoppingScotland having independence
Might just send that photo to Morgan Stanley
Did he sing “The Red Flag” after he was anointed?
caz-m said at 1:06 pm:–
“Every Labour Party union rep and councillor’s dream.

True,and it was Labour who nominated Mr Darling to the House of Lords!!!!!!
Has Labour in Scotland sent their former MP Alistair Darling a Congratulations Card yet?
In the post I guess.
Edinburgh Evening News,June of this year:-
“The former Chancellor and Edinburgh South West MP, who stood down at the election in May, has been included in the Dissolution List drawn up by Ed Miliband.”

Its English law that says if you are born in stable you are a horse.
Scots law asks who your father was
If there has to be a Lords, then surely it would be in the public interest to know who is who?
I propose two chambers within the building, one for the Honourable Lords and one for the Dis-honourable Lords.
Plenty to go to the second chamber!
Baron Darling of Morgan Stanley
Typical – he’s not even there half a minute and he hands them an invoice.
Blair Paterson
I was born in England too, due to my dad being posted down there in the RAF. I don’t think you can hold people’s place of birth responsible. I think Darling’s wankerdom is entirely a wilful choice by him.
It never fails to amaze me for how little some peoples principles can be bought.
Sleep well Lord Darling, you have earned it. May your soul forgive you, because I certainly won’t.
Re; Seanair@12.24
I am pretty sure one of his massive houses is in, ‘you’ll have had your tea’ land, with the only liebour MP left in Scotland also enjoying a nice big fat wage. A world away from Pilton.
How must it feel to know that you have shafted your country. Stupid to even think that these ratbags feel anything other than self love. Gits.
@blair patterson,
I knew Darling was born in England, it’s that civic nationalism thing: the people who live here. Although you could of course argue that Darling’s real home is Westminster and I wouldn’t argue back.
@ handclapping
‘Scots law asks who your father was.’
That must cause a bit of difficulty for some.
‘It’s a clever loon that kens his ain faither’.
Blair..
Lord, or, whatever his name now is, didn’t stop independence, his lie-management merely delayed the provision of democracy in these parts.
And Darling, based on both those pictures, is surely a rogue and an enemy of the state.
Step aside,the lot of you.
Yet again no SNP rep on BBC TV’s Question Time this evening.
Different rules apply to the third largest party at Westminster when its only Jocks.
Greg Clark MP, Labour’s Caroline Flint MP, Liberal Democrat Vince Cable, classicist and broadcaster Mary Beard and the Daily Mail’s parliamentary sketch writer Quentin Letts.
Its from Bath so there might be someone famous in the audience.
Oh, and now Sir Danny has arisen.
And Katie Hopkins is a respected journalist, in Trumpton.
Whatever next, one wonders.
Darling was a Special Branch plant.
I don’t think socialists should ever find themselves in the house of lords.
An affront to democracy.
What a pile of shite.
Come on guys ,he’s a fifth columnist.
He intends to destroy the Lords from the inside– you know ,like he did with the economy.
Out of interest does anyone know of anybody who sits in that place who is known for doing something positively memorable? In a positive way of course.
In October 2007, barely three weeks after bailing out Northern Rock for £26 billion, the FSA and Alistair Darling signed off their approval for the fatal RBS takeover of ABN Amro without undertaking any due diligence. Incredibly, the FSA overlooked their own rules on capital liquidity by allowing RBS to do the £49bn ABN Amro deal.
Fred Goodwin, who was knighted by Labour in 2004, was one of Darling’s financial advisers at the time and remained so until several months after RBS collapse.
The lack of decisive action by Alistair Darling and the last Labour government after Northern Rock failed could have cost up to one million people their jobs according to the Bank of England Governor, Sir Mervyn King.
In a BBC Today Programme Lecture on 2nd May 2012, the Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Mervyn King criticised the lack of action by Alistair Darling and the last Labour government in the early days of the banking crisis could have cost up to one million people their jobs.
Also a good article on A Darling by Derek Bateman

So was Murphy.
I can’t be earsed with any of the *ahem* panelists Sinky but as there may very well be an extremely famous Bath resident in the audience I’m guessing we’ll all have to watch just on the off chance that we will get a glimpse of oor HERO!
Just a wee outside the box thinking here.
Maybe oor hero could sneak in a couple of his wee rat friends tonight and let them loose … for their nightly exercise you understand. They could cause some light entertainment for viewers not that bothered about listening to the programme. Turn off the sound and watch the fun as the rats meander around the hall!
What next?

As far as that non entity Hopkins is concerned … the only place she is a respected journalist is in the alternate universe of brainless dunderheids!
Yes, Darling was clearly playing along with those leftist republicans.
Now he has what he wanted, one step closer to royalty.
Gives me the boak. A totaltraytr and now, an official fud.

Excellent spot. I have never thought of it that way.
You might be right. And what about Blair and Brown.It all makes sense now, Establishment plants.
Canbarely bring myself to watch this. Mr Orwell sprung to mind-is mr darling Napoleon or is he more Sqeeler?? Any other animal farm characters he might resemble cos remember “we’re all equal,just some of us a wee bit more equal”
.you say, about Hopkins… the only place she is a respected journalist is in the alternate universe of brainless dunderheids!..
That’ll be the flatlands beyond Atlantis ..
Lord Darling’s robe is deepest red,
With ermine all around the edge.

She lives in Glasgow Green

Happy and glorious

Thank God theirs no more o us
God save aunt Jean

When language was being created, do you think it was deliberate that they made ermine and vermin rhyme so perfectly?
@Blair Paterson
Angus Robertson was born in London as well. Not sure what that has got to do with anything, and I really don’t think that is a road we want to go down.
@Bugger
I am not sure about Darling and Murphy. The cynic in me thinks that some politicians are more likely to sell out their principles more easily than others. Giving the former a taste of the London political scene down at Westminister is probably enough to make it go to their heads. Who really knows though, we know politics is ruthless from the last few years in particular.
ot, genuine question
If I put a large poster in my garden, (very visible from a very prominant main road) saying, carmicheal, libdem, is a blatant liar is there any rule or means of stopping me doing this? eg, could the council force me to take it down?
also, I noticed rev taking someone to task yesterday on twitter for calling him a liar…I have also seen some dreadful racist anti scottish tweets from very prominent tory mps, could I post up these tory tweets as well?
I know there are many yessers across Scotland with very prominent gardens, fields etc next to major roads, could this be a major means of getting our message out to the public?
Rat changes fur.
“Rat changes fur.”
Oi. Easy on the ratophobia.

I can see that toady Darling becoming Rector of Aberdeen Uni or some such and Britannia TV Aberdeen crawling up his arse in the not to distant future just to further add to the message of keep your place peasants.
O/T big time, but couldn’t resist.
BBC hilarious in claiming Michael Fassbinder as a British representative at upcoming golden globe awards.
Haha, is there no end to their delusion.
If they were a patient I swear to God they’d be sectioned.

Roll on 10 years, different man but same story, this time with XXXXX A plant, oh he is more than a plant, he’s the whole fringing jungle!
But by no means the only one as I am very sure, some of you know.
I read somewhere Darling’s holiday home on Lewis is somewhere around Breacleit. Perhaps Ruilanish is the name of his converted blackhouse – his ain wee castle.

The irony of John MacLean on a banner carried by Lord Alistair MacLean Darling of Ruilanish.
“Pass the sick bag Alice!”
As I said in a post ages ago —
I’m sure when the likes of Darling and Robertson and MConnell meet up in the Lords bar, they have a great laugh remembering when they were young and stupid enough to have values.
As one regular BBC broadcaster nearly said recently about the Bullingdon Set picture, it makes you want to put them up against the wall…
Socrates. Hope you won’t mind me borrowing:-
“Ah, Al! Ah, Al! thou’ll get thy fairin!

Humble and fawning congratulations not only to His Lordship, but to that most ladylike of consorts, Her Douceness the Lady Navvygub of Twitter.

Lord Darling of Flippinghame. For services rendered to Morgan Stanley and all who fiddle in her.
Boak !!
Paul patience, he is (darling) from londinium
From Wikipedia
Alistair Darling was born in London[4] the son of a civil engineer, Thomas, and his wife, Anna MacLean. He is the great-nephew of Sir William Darling, a Conservative-Unionist Member of Parliament for Edinburgh South (1945–1957). He was educated in Kirkcaldy, and the independent Loretto School,[5] in Musselburgh, then attended the University of Aberdeen where he was awarded a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B). He became the President of Aberdeen University Students’ Representative Council.
Before joining the Labour Party at the age of 23 in 1977, Darling was a supporter of the International Marxist Group, the British section of the Trotskyist Fourth International.

Some other liar used that name already. Shortened to B.Lair. He lead us down the path that caused all the disruption in the Middle East.
Nothing like a good war to distract the masses from a spot of domestic bother, eh!
Just in the last 33 years:
Maggie Thatcher; Falklands, but that wasn’t a war was it. Only a conflict. Tell that to the dead and maimed.
That boring twat with grey hair, John Major; The Gulf War.
Bliar liar; the invasion of Iraq with Bush. Bush, who failed at every business venture he attempted and we all know how successful his war in Iraq was.
The Piggy Fiddler; struggling domestically with one disasterous policy after another. So what does he do? Lets bomb Syria! Hurrah he thinks he gets breathing space. Think again!
Anyone seeing a pattern here?
I wonder who they will try to crucify. Someone else got crucified at 33.

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill

Lord Byron. Fought for Greek independence from Turkey. Died in Missolonghi. Maiden speech was in favour of the Luddites:
“A strong advocate of social reform, he received particular praise as one of the few Parliamentary defenders of the Luddites: specifically, he was against a death penalty for Luddite “frame breakers” in Nottinghamshire, who destroyed textile machines that were putting them out of work.”

Rui is a common Chinese name
Lanish according to Google means ‘pull your hand’
What could ‘pull your hand’ mean would that be the equivalent of ‘pull your leg’ or is an activity that might cause you to go blind?

His mother’s family were apparently from Bernera and it appears he owns a house in Roulanish, hence Baron of Roulanish. See link below about Great Bernera, where Roulanish is located.

Anyway, he’s not even a proper baron in the Scottish sense.
See – link to en.wikipedia.org
About 30 years ago I had a friend who knew Alistair Darling’s sister (he may have more than one).
Her view, apparently, was that her brother was a Tory, but wanted a Westminster seat in Scotland, so he joined Labour.
I have no idea whether that is true, but it is not incompatible with being a member of the IMG.
Too vomit inducing to watch past the first minute.
Lord Darling of Rulebritaniapish.
Like the majority of Labour leaders, they saw a nice little earner for themselves, financially, and of course you can pick up £5K per introductory letter, and finish with a wee Barony and £300 per sleep in the big house as a side line.
Darling destroyed the Scottish/UK/World economy. He is a fraudster and a liar. He will always be a dishonourable man. Illegal wars, banking fraud and tax evasion. Vulnerable people are being killed and starved to death. The Royals are not impartial.
Where is the Chilcot Report? 5 years late.
Stuart Campbell: “Oi. Easy on the ratophobia.”
A well deserved admonishment, if I may say so.
Wholly wrong to equate Lord Darling to a rodent, for there are some things you just can’t get a rat to do.
Anyone got a link with a picture of Darling kneeling yesterday? I want one to post on FB with the caption:
“Alistair Darling presenting the Labour position.”
Its all about the class system.
I don’t belong to any class, and neither does anyone else, there are only people that have different out looks on life
This is an absolute abuse of the people in Scotland. A disgrace for Democracy. An example of individual selfishness and greed. A public disgace. It will just annoy and embarrass even more people.

Comrades! Be upstanding and bow your heads to your superior,
The working class can kiss my arse, I’m a Lord now.
Loretto would be horrified to have any association with the working class though.
A future working class hero like Lord Flipper, needs seven grand a term for Loretto college, who are no doubt jolly proud of him. As are SLabour ofcourse.
£7,000 a term ex private schools are only going to produce goons like this but you’d think SLab unionist twitter crew would by very proud, but quick read around and not a UKOK peep, not even from red tory unionist zealots like

BetterTogether now, to Oh Christmas tree song-
The working class can kiss my arse,
I’ve got the foremans’ job at last.
I’m out of work and on the dole,
You can stuff the red flag up your hole.
The working class can kiss my arse,
I’ve got the foremans’ job at last.

UKOK propaganda in Scotland, nothing at all. Poor Alistair. That crew are a lot more interested in Trump than our newest SLab lords.
All you get from google is loads of hits like this

Nice display of how you lie and deceive, BBC vote Slab Scotland style though.
Anent Lord Byron, he would have shagged a barbers flair!
What is with his spastic hand? It looks like he is being controlled by a rubbish ventriloquist.
This is the first thing I thought of when I read the news.
That and selling out the public to protect corrupt banks.
Bit of a sad legacy.
