    It would appear that the Glasgow premiere of the motion picture, “The Muppets” was very well attended.

    Can you spot the Tory in the front row?
     
    yep, this is a bit of a  trick question and the correct answer is; It is all of them

    It’s easy to forget how tanned Alistair Darling is, until you see him sitting next to someone as peely-wally as Ruthie.

    Maybe he should spend less time in the tanning booth and more time voting against Tory cuts in Westminster?

    ‘Belters Together’
    It is mind-boggling to imagine anyone looking at this line-up and having any faith or trust in them. What do they stand for? What do they believe in? Have any one of those in the frame ever said or done anything to make Scots feel better about the future?
    Does anyone know where and when this snap was taken, why they were there, and what they were watching?
    If we vote ‘No’, this is the future. God help us.

    I think it was the BetterTogether launch. They’re probably watching Auntie Bella’s comedy routine.

    Just when is the lamentable Lamont going on Question Time, not to mention arithmetically challenged Ruthie Davidson, or the eternally perplexed bus-driving Rennie?
    Last night we had imports from Westminster and the Lords doing what these three half-wits should have been doing on a QT coming from Scotland; all three unionists lined up against the SNP’s Yousef and Brian Souter who was only there for a kicking over the gay equality issue.
    Couple this up with the pre-arranged ‘audience balance’ and a unionist English chairman who pre-selects the ‘questions’ and you see how truly balanced a show this is expected to be.
    Speaks volumes about the standing of Scotland’s mighty opposition leaders when they’re not let any nearer a BBC broadcast than you or me! Looks like they’ve been rumbled.

    @ianbrotherhood,
    Yes it was the launch of the ‘no’ campaign at Napier University in Edinburgh. Here is the Wings piece that covered the event.

    Very good graphic used in the story.

    Just noticed, on closer inspection, that one of my old lecturers is in the background in that photograph. He stood for election as a Liberal Democrat in 2010, but of course no Scottish seats changed sides. He woiuld constantly make pops at the SNP in his lectures.
    I guess he might be one of the types that changes their personal opinions on all the things Liberal Democrats are meant to hold sacred, just to get a whiff of power and to support the party line – like the old Edinburgh West MP John Barett, Charles Kennedy or Menzies Campbell. It’s quite sad really.

    Interesting who is NOT in the picture though. If this is from the Better together Launch where is Lamont? She was there that day.

    Was that the Belgium game or the Wales game they were watching?
     
    Come on wee Gordy, wipe those smiles off their fizzogs.
     
    @Doug Daniel  Re Darling boy’s tan,  my theory is, it is the accumulated effect of many years of eyebrow dye running when he sweats.

    Welcome, and hee hee. Thanks, I had been trying to put my finger on who Oor Willie reminded me of, for ages. Now I see he must be Wallace’s long lost brother, or at least half-brother. Certainly seams to have the moral and ethical flexibility you might imagine a man made of plasticine would have.

    They’ve just seen a clip of Brian Wilson’s Guardian article.
    It got the same reaction from me I might add.
