A pretty straightforward guy | Scottish Independence News
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha….
Go on Al.
Go on, go on. go on.
Love this guy.
He can’t even lie properly.
Imagine your future and the UK’s depend on you and you are faced with Salmond live on TV with a long list of questions more difficult and hostile than toodleoothenoo’s.
“NO! because I think its important I’m straight forward with people” having just lied through his teeth. His NewStatesman “yes voters are blood and soil nazis” blurt out was brushed under the teamGB carpet too although that sacked MP candidate in Angus must be wondering why she got the boot and Flipper got away with it.
Doubt he can lie straight in bed…
AD: I haven’t read Cherrie Blair’s book.
BT: Did you say it was pretty awful?
AD:There are parts of it I would not have used,
Me if I was there: er, so surely you did read the book. You have just lied to us. Have you?
His missus used some flowery language at the time as well did she not.. Wonder how many times he’d flipped the hoose when this interview took place
I can remember Dahling when he was a bearded, long heard, dressed down public schoolboy “Revolutionary Marxist” in torn jeans and t shirt. I was no more fooled by the lot of them then than I am now. I was just a “Nationalist Deviate”, not a Republican Socialist, if you believe them.
He is not the only MP or, careerist meejah hack, or Tame Union official I could name that used to be a socialist.
Who else was it said ‘I’m a pretty straight kinda guy…’?
If this guy told me it was raining, I’d be going outside to check for myself.
He twists and turns like a twisty turny thing.
thats as straightforward a pathological liar i have ever witnessed.
AD has absolutely NO redeeming attributes IMHO
The man lies like a rug!
“I haven’t read Cherie Blair’s book” “There are parts I wouldn’t have used”
Make your fucking mind up Alistair. Did you read it or not?
What a guy eh?
I make it he lied 5 times in less than a minute.
He looked like he was about to cry .
He is such a bad liar for a politician.
And here’s the Guardian interview.
link to theguardian.com
Guess what? “[Maggie Darling] could not contain her fury that the chancellor was being so brazenly traduced from next door. She blew up to one friend: ‘The fucking cunts are trying to stitch up Alistair! The cunts! I can’t believe they’re such cunts!'” Features in it too.

I wonder if his wife has ever tweeted any photos of Ms Alexander and Mrs Blair? She’s an honest woman too.
job out california,as a lie detector tester
About as straight as a pig’s penis, if you’ll excuse the crudeness. 😉
@ Roddy – are you sure they use that sort of language?
He’s a knob.
@Ian –
Who else was it said ‘I’m a pretty straight kinda guy…’?
Jimmy Savile ?
Funny clip but the comment about Wendy Alexander uncovers something rather relevant – here’s a story from the time…
link to theguardian.com
Respected Elder Statesman…
In some parallel universe, maybes.
Wait! Darling is married? I thought…
‘I have got the utmost admiration for Wendy, and the problems that she went through.’
He admired her problems?
Bob Sinclair – he twists and turns more than a big bag of twisty turny things. 🙂
Fud monger.
Flipper Darling you claimed thousands in expenses on 4 of your properties as your second home, in 4 years. No I didn’t.
Flipper, you rented out your flat by the Oval and charged the taxpayer for the expenses for this property and at least two of your other houses, while you were resident in Downing Street. No I didn’t.
Flipper, while Chancellor, you hired a tax accountant to provide you with tax evasion services and then you claimed the accountant’s fees as an expense. No I didn’t.
He twists and turns like a twisty turny thing.
This!
Poor Wendy, her biggest enemies were standing behind her not on the opposing benches.

Jackie Bird?
That’s brilliant.
Expect vile and nasty tweets from Maggie Vaughan and her Labour Party cronies calling you all manner of names.
…although I don’t think you will be hearing from Kathy Wiles for awhile.
Scotland 2014 on now, Sarah Smith stating Nazi slur on members of pro indy demo on Sunday.
No mention of BBC Bias demo… whodathunkit.
It’s so sad: I would ask you not to show that sort of thing again; it is humiliating. You just have to feel sorry for the man ….. except ……
What a tool! I think the technical name is dildo. Now before anyone tells me off, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer when the economy went into meltdown?
@kendomacaroonbar
Eh? What do you mean?
The only line he spits coherently IS THE LIE!!!
Aw toodleoothenoo you had him by the eyebrows with the Cherie Blair book and you let him wriggle off the hook, ah well some things never change…
Comical Ali Darling
@Muttley.
Sarah Smith introduced the story about Wiley getting bagged was framed around her tweeting a picture of Nazi Youth in reference to a “Pro indy demonstration”
I think the biggest difference is that although fibbing outrageously, he is a lot more relaxed, even good humored in his perfidy unlike the intense angry blinkathon you get these days.
@kendomacaroonbar
Is that not what happened?
@H&S – yeh compare it with the April meltdoon with Marr..
link to youtube.com
He was subsequently shipped off to the Isles for intensive therapy and then slipped back in. Came back acting hard until the FM called his bluff and noo the scitter is running doon the back of his legs..
The Courier.

@Muttley
No, It was a BBC Bias demonstration, not a Pro Indy demonstration as stated by her.
Kendo
….and of course, ironically, in refusing to call it what it was they confirm their bias.
Oh my Darling, Oh my Darling, Oh my Darling, Clementine. Thou art lost and gone forever, Oh my Darling…
@ Kalmar, thanks for the 2008 link. The almost first CiF may as well have ended, beware the ides of March, he/she’s that good. How times changed since Severin Carrell was farted into Scotland.

Its rather begging the question that the union is the “greater good” isn’t it? Personally I expect it will make surprisingly little difference but the outcome of indpendence in the long term is such a complex issue that anyone who claims to know if its a good thing or not is a liar, whether nationalist or unionist. I’m willing to give it a shot myself though…..
I don’t think Alexander is threatening the union for her own career actually. She’s seen the writing on the wall. If a referendum is held in two years time it can only benefit the SNP and hte independence lobby – Labour will only get more unpopular, their will be a Tory government in London which will stir some powerful folk memories (somewhat irrationally given how close Labour and the Tories are these days to anyone not personally involved in poltical sectarianism) and oil will probably be even more expensive making it easy to claim that independence will be financially feasible (whether that is true or not who knows?).
An early referendum is better for unionists which is why the leader of the main unionist party predictably wants one soon and a later one is better for the nationalists which is why they predictably want to wait. Either way it is now such an important issue that to deny a referendum would be undemocratic – democracy being what this politics business is allegedly about.
Brown denying that Alexander had said what she clearly had said just makes him look like a moron of course.
@Hand and Shrimp
and I thought they were a pretty straight kinda organisation !
They must be wishing they’d listened to Wendy 🙂
Kendo
At least as straight as Alistair 😉
Poor sod. Master of his own demise.
@Paula
Just click the 2nd link in my comment.
Even if you had a video of him calling Wendy Alexander a useless twat he would still deny he said it.
The guy is an embarrassment and a big helping hand to the independence campaign.
Go Alistair.
With friends like oor Al?……
@Roddy MacDonald
Roddy,
Hilarious post re Mrs Darling. Does that mean she’s talking about all us nasty cybernats behind our backs? Shock, horror……do you think she’s calling us all…”c*nts”?
Scottish labour, the current generation of the parcel of rogues.
Thanks Roddy @10.23 for the first link.
AD sounds reasonable in the article but that was before an SNP minority government did so many good things for the people of Scotland resulting in a landslide majority in 2011.
How things have changed.
What a blinker!
@jim
and AD is an r sole wi brogues ?

AHA!
So you’re the one kendo. I always wondered who the viewer was that was keeping Sarah Smith in her job now we know. I really, really hoped it was our one and only Johann “I’m surprised” Lamont. 😛
If you watch our wee A.A. Darling at about 33 seconds in I’m certain that you can see his chin trembling. 😛 (You may have to re-run that bit to be sure 😉 )
@Democracy Reborn
No, it’s fairly obvious from the context she was referring to The Broons (living next door at No 10 at the time).
Ah that Labour Unity, it just gets you right there. I’m welling up here thinking of the fraternity, Comrades.
@Lesley=Anne
Guilty as charged Ma’am 🙂
Profuse apologies for elbowing in here.
I’m the guy who did the 1500 mile bike run from Rome to Glasgow. I’ve got another fundraiser up and running, which will see me do 500 miles in 5 days around Scotland. This is specifically for 10 local yes campaigns to get campaign bases. Please help. If I break my target, I will donate all excess funds to the Maryhill foodbank, which as some of you will know was a story posted here (originally from The Evening Times). Like all of you I was disgusted with how reduced to her base needs that woman had become! And so, it prompted me to put that caveat on to this fundraiser.

Fair do’s kendo not a problem just shows, yet again 😉 the caring side of those nasty evil benefit scrounging cybernats. Still I’d have thought NO Together could have found one of their supporters to volunteer to help. 🙂
Still, good old YES supporters found doing their bit to save young t.v. presenter from the ignominy of signing on the dole and suffering needless Spanish Inquisition, makes you feel so proud. 😛
Two p[oliticians arguing. The one from Yes says “You’re lying!”, the one from No says “Yes, but hear me out”.
Jock Sot – yet another fabby Yew Choob goody. It’s not only the lyrics, which are superb and funny, it’s the pictures and captions too. You’ve all gotta be in some kind of iScot TV show like ‘That Was The Week That Was’ when we get our own telly channel(s). 🙂
I have to agree with T Jenny about Yew Choob. The trouble I have is trying to decide whither to look at the cartoons or read the words. I usually end up reading the words first time round. On future run throughs I make the decision to look at the cartoons but still end up reading the words. Damn! 😛
Mad Ali is the former chancellor of the exchequer whose last budget forecast was out by £500,000,000,000. The man is a lying toad-faced prick and the sooner he and his ilk are in prison or exile the better.
You can tell Darling is lying when his lip are moving.
@Jock Scott
What a “darling” video Jock 😀
Sh1t! Am I turning into Paula Rose?!
Hi Ninja *waves* 😉
Taylor’s lost none of his muppet-like savagery, has he? Darling is vaunting fool.
Peter says:

Just count your lucky stars Peter that he wasn’t a failed maths teacher before becoming a politician similarly to a certain party colleague in Holyrood who is Labour’s current finance spokesperson. 😛
Having just watched that video clip, it is plainly obvious that Darling is clearly insane.
Tremendous video, words or cartoons, trying to do both, brain fried at too many nights with extra time at world cup.
Knackered but happy.
Keep em comin.
BTW forgot to mention that the other week there I heard Gideon talking about how the country would benefit from HS2 link up across northern England. I take it he means England the country as opposed to Britain.
Probably already committed to losing Scotland, being privy to Allys “lost” poll.
That we paid for.
lol @ Jock Scot
thats worth a repost
darlings wife will be turning the air blue tonight, ha ha ha

Very Interesting link cynical highlander.
Now that tweet from Kieran at the courier says tomorrows courier will have an expose of that odious AngusLabour woman’s previous comments.
So did the Courier tell Labour they were doing this and that is why they asked her to resign?
Or are the Courier doing the expose because she is no longer part of the Labour Party?
Be interesting to see if the Courier will say when they contacted her (for a comment) and what time she announced her resignation.
Jock Scot – so does that mean the next Yew Choob hit will be Queen’s ‘I want to Break Free’? 🙂

Did you see flippers bottom lip quiver ? Quality schaedenfreud moment.
“A Labour MP has called for a former home secretary to make public what he knew about allegations of paedophiles operating in Westminster in the 1980s.
Simon Danczuk said that a dossier of allegations about paedophiles was presented to Leon Brittan when he was home secretary between 1983 and 1985.”
“Earlier in the hearing he said that Cyril Smith escaped prosecution because he was “part of a network of people protecting each other”.
His victims, Mr Danczuk said, were “poor, white, working class boys” in the same way that forty years later the victims of grooming in Rochdale were “poor, white, working class girls.”

No time to read the comments but I will go and do so.
I have to ask where did you find this and that it is dynamite. Hahaha Fucked up again. I hope this is on Yew Choob. I’m sticking it on my facebook so should you all.
Alistair, plonker.
A wee pat on the back to everyone of you who helped push that horrible female away from standing as a Labour candidate in Angus.
Team work, that’s what done it.
Keep chipping away at them, we are winning this fight.
Proud of everyone of you.
I have to say that congratulations are due to everyone who is involved with YEW CHOOB. I don’t know how you keep coming up with all these fantastic *ahem* hits time after time. 😛
Whatever you please don’t stop every one is a priceless gem. 🙂
He looks like he’s about to burst into tears, here.

Hood – thanks – I’d missed that one.
Lesley-Anne – Aye, if the haven’t recorded it already and we’ve missed (how could we!), maybe they should play it at the next ‘Stop BBC Bias’ protest.
That didn’t work.
How about this:
link to tinypic.com
Just thinking about the amazing productions that keep on coming out of Yew Choob productions perhaps we are close to the point where we could have a slot called “Yew Choob song of the week.” 😉
I counted 74 blinks in that 61 second clip which gives a Darling Veracity Index of 74/61 which is equal to 1.213114754098361.
I think he was trying to hide some of his blinks as he double-blinked more than few times, hoping people wouldn’t notice no doubt. I’m sure he’d disagree.
TJenny says:

Lesley-Anne – Aye, if the haven’t recorded it already and we’ve missed (how could we!), maybe they should play it at the next ‘Stop BBC Bias’ protest.
I like your thinking there T Jenny. We’d probably end up with half the crowd singing along and the other half rolling about on the ground in stitches. 😛
I hope to live long enough to see Alistair Darling, Danny Alexander, Blair McDougall, Jackie Baillie, Lamont, Rennie, Ian Davidson, Curran etc scratching a living by bareknuckling the living daylights out of each other in a travelling circus side-show. (Ming Campbell can be the ref with the stripey shirt.
The idea that any of these people can be part of public life in post-Yes Scotland is intolerable.
I’ll match one comment and raise it. You can tell when Ally Darling is lying. He’s breathing. What’s he getting paid by BT btw?
Lesley-Anne – well, so far, I don’t think we can get arrested for laughing. And shurely not for singing a non partisan song either. So get your vocal chords well gargled in time for 27th July protest. 🙂
Something’s going on over on Twitter – seems Rev has been deluged with letters from angry academics (complete with extensive references, footnotes, and clear evidence of broad reading).
Wee Union Jack McConnell says that Devolution is working.
Aye Jack, only because Labour got kicked out of power.
If they had still held power in Scotland, then the Council Tax would have went through the roof and they would have introduced £9000 a year Uni Fees and many more bad things would have followed.
Scary to even think about that.
TJenny says:

I think you’re right on the arrest front T Jenny but I would be a wee bit concerned how the UKIP Channel, sorry BBC would report it. Remember last Sunday’s anti BBC protest was actually a pro independence demonstration. I read that on the BBC website so it must be true they don’t tell lies do they? 😉
I can just see the BBC report now:
“Pro independence demonstration attendees kill half of the crowd with their appalling singing!” 😛
One way to stop Alistair Darling lying would be to have Jackie Baillie sit on his face.
Do BBC Scotland know that there is another, even bigger “Pro Independence Demonstration” planned for,
Sunday 27th July 2014.
Ian Brotherhood says:

Oh dearie me it looks like the NO Together gang may have been breaking the law again. Who’d have thunk it? More importantly will anything be done about it this time? Excuse me if I do not hold my breath!

Wendy might not actually have had a brain quite the size of a planet, but she was at least smart enough to get the hell out, stay out, and leave it to the Never Never Land’s lost boys.
But enough of the Barrie references when SLAB (both media and political) have moved us fully on to a ‘Malice in Wonderland’ scenario with at least three contenders for the Queen of Hearts role and an innumerable number of contenders for the ‘Mad Hatter’ one.
Lesley-Anne – Magic. I don’t think I’d heard that one either? Don’t know how I’ve managed to miss these.
These Yew Choobers are a prolific lot, aren’t they. 🙂
I agree T Jenny, they must spend 24 hours day 7 days a week re-writing these songs with the *ahem* correct lyrics. 😛
Yew Choob are great. You can’t make a real difference without songs, IMO. So they are not only great, they are essential
Here’s a brilliant song Ian Brotherhood posted on Off topic months ago. Still can’t get the tune out of my head.

Integrity drips from Mr Darling as blood drips from a corpse, slowly and malodourously.
Bearing in mind the clip at the top of this thread, please check out this lump of BT dross.
It opens with Alistair Darling and an empty sock. (AD is on the right):

And here he is again, doing the final rousing voice-over for another lie-packed dod of ‘No Thanks’ shite:

And then there’s this…

Quotes from Mr Darling.
“Let’s make sure that we make the decisions that are stronger for our family.”
“There is no going back on it.”
“Lets make sure we make the right decision for Scotland and our family.”
That’s easy then vote Yes.
Darling has already been proven to be a liar by this video, Ian Brotherhoods video in my eyes shows he is also ignorant of Scotland.
He is a lying ignorant Independence hating BritNat and we want no more of his like ruling us.
Oh good grief and this is the guy who wants to debate the FM?

I was just watching a Chic Murray video on youtube just now Jim ,hilarious.
It was the one where the woman with the big nose got stuck in the tramlines and they had to take her legs and wheel her to the depot. 🙂

Aha
Works OK on my Mac book but not on the iPad?
Darling, Darling are you lonesome?
Alone and feeling Tory blue.

Did I tell you that Chic used to drink in Tennent’s in Byres Road.
I went in one day, ordered a pint and Pie, Beans and Chips.
He was sat next to be, in bunnet and head doon so, I never recognised him.
He started talking to me, and nicked my chipe when I looked away.
He was known for that trick in that pub.
I like that avatar better anyway,
I was in Southwark in London and was passing a pub, and the sounds of laughing coming from the pub, drew me in,
they had a video of Chic Murray on and it was the best night I’ve had in a pub in years, explaining some of the colloquialisms to the Londoners was fantastic.
I’m off work today, I’ve got a clutch pedal on the floor so I’m just about to go out for the garage opening, just our luck,

This from the article you linked to struck me:
The SNP has been enjoying a long honeymoon, but all honeymoons come to an end eventually
This from 2008, the polls have not only not slipped for the SNP they have got better, they are now the most popular party for Westminster elections too.
That is some honeymoon and it is a joint child, father the competent and technocratic SNP and mother the dysfunctional car crash that is the Labour party.
“explaining some of the colloquialisms to the Londoners was fantastic.”
Eg
I didn’t know you could lay linoleum Chic,
Yes I’ve got a flair for it! 🙂
Wendy Alexander isn’t likeable and Cherie Blair’s book is rotten. Poor Mr Darling falls victim to the Edwina Currie Salmonella Paradox: getting into trouble for telling the truth. Probably explains why he doesn’t tell the truth very often.
The BBC are refusing to set up an enquiry into child abuse involving one of their long time ex-employees, Rolf Harris.
link to mirror.co.uk
Child protection agencies are demanding that the BBC set this enquiry up to see if there are any links between Rolf Harris and other ex BBC employees like Jimmy Savile.
As usual the BBC seem to think they know best.
Nothing to see here, move along please.

Did you see what BBC Scotland called our “Protest Against BBC Bias” Ronnie.
They called it a “Pro Independence Demonstration”.
Does that even make sense?
So, I guess I will be seeing you at the next Pro Independence Demonstration at Pacific Quay on 27th July.
Just read that quote from Darling’s wife in the Guardian.One F and three C words aimed at the Brown’s next door. I thought people were joking. She is an unbelievabley vicious person .JoLo never sank so low…not quite!

Haven’t read all the comments yet so forgive me if this is a duplicate but I watched one interview when he was particularly honest – I think he was in his Hebridean retreat and his cups!
He said that when the people of the UK found out what they had done and how they had messed up the economy they would be really “pissed off” – I have tried to find it since but it has vanished into the ether.
The reason I remember it so well is that so few politicians have ever been so honest. Round about 2008 ,maybe someone else remembers it too?
Would you buy a second hand car from A. Darling?
@ Dorothy Devine, is this the one? Lovely puff for a lovely chap. TeamGB media really loves Alistair as soon as he decided to save the union.

Has anyone here read “The Psychopath Test” by Jon Ronson?
It’s a pretty good read. It’s a serious subject but covered in a humorous yet thought provoking way.
Give it a go and come to your own conclusions regarding the video(s) of Mr Darling.

Ian Brotherhood says:
“One way to stop Alistair Darling lying would be to have Jackie Baillie sit on his face.”
IAN! Did you have to do that? The very thought. I’ll have to go clean up my keyboard now.
Aw Bless!
Go watch it again and take a good look at the Eyebrows!! When he lies, because we know he does, and when he does, his eyebrows shoot up half way up his forehead!
@ X Sticks, thats what happens when you dont follow the WOS safety on line Rules Wrap up in KLINGFILM saves buying a new laptop lol.
@ronnie
Maybe a marketing opportunity for CLANG-FILM?

Be careful with the clingfilm if you are using a Mac Book.
The Mac runs hot and uses the spaces around the key to ventilate the motherboard.
Clingfilm could raise the temp and cause the board to konk out.
Muscleguy: “That is some honeymoon and it is a joint child, father the competent and technocratic SNP and mother the dysfunctional car crash that is the Labour party.”
Spot on! We wouldn’t be where we are today without Labour’s incompetence, infighting and weak PM of the day. If it’s a Yes vote I’ll be raising my glass to them as well as the SNP 🙂
@ Bugger the Panda. Ah Mac Book did ye say, did you happen tae notice ma surnames no Carnagie.
@ X Sticks, noo dont gie the BT mob any ideas of making money

Hasn’t Goebbels written it already?

Naw, it is the Hitler bunker scene.
Did he just say that, I,m straight forward with people, the really frightening thing about that comment, is he actually believes he is.
Is it true that this song is actualy A.A. Darling’s family anthem? 😉

Darling: “I’m a pretty (inauduble mumble) guy.”
Or, with correct spelling…
Darling: “I’m a pretty (inaudible mumble) guy.”
I’ve just watched this again, and I laughed my socks off.
Why does anybody believe a word Darling utters on the future of Scotland.? I fully expect he will be skewered (metaphorically) when he debates with Salmond, he has such a remarkable back catalogue of fluff. The gift that just keeps on giving.
If only ‘bettertogetherukoknothanksvotenobordersjustsaynaw’ could find a REAL leader, you know, somebody with integrity and principles.
X-sticks, good to see that it’s not only the SNP that gets accused of Nazism!
Pots & kettles.
The internet rule is now that the first one to mention Nazis has lost the argument.
Was Goebbels a playwrite?
You should have seen him on Sunday getting a doing from Old Brillo Pad. He could not answer a question direct, only in hoary old cliques.
I wouldn’t buy a second hand Labour election manifesto from this man.
