A summary of the meaningful content of Lesley Laird's responses in that interview: noise noise noise blah blah blah sound sound sound.
Graham Brady on @JPonpolitics
- letters not at 48
- hasn't told his wife the number
- the idea he would sit on letters to protect the PM is offensive
- some MPs have lied about sending in letters
- hasn't sent a letter to himself
- but he's not happy with May's dealNow ambulance staff have been told not to call people “sir” or “madam” to avoid causing offence. How can it be right that a whole society must abandon everything it has understood historically, culturally & biologically to accommodate such a tiny minority? https://t.co/n2FGipCC8p
@WingsScotland Tbf I wish everyone else who was too thick to understand it hadn’t voted either.

I think we should be told what it was – any lip readers pick it up?
“By the way Cameron just lip-synched something quite rude to Angus Robertson at PMQs”
It did look a lot like “Will you [or why don’t you] fuck off?”, didn’t it?
Yep, looked like ” why don’t you fuck off ” to me too. Is this legitimate behaviour in that legislature? Are there any sanctions possible? Can you imagine if AS did that???

Give us until 2014 and we’ll be gone. 🙂
Dave’s lip syncing adds further support to my theory. 😉
While we’re discussing the silly things that people say about money, any idea who said this? I certainly raised my eyebrows when I read it.
‘The economic benefits of trading under the same currency as island neighbours are huge’.
Quite like the spin the SNP are putting on the whole affair:

lmao tbh
Judge for yourselves what dave says……

It might be me but I’m pretty certain if Alex Salmond did the same to Lamont or Davidson the MSM would go into full meltdown mode
BBC Scotland lunchtime showed the Cameron clip right up to the second before he disses poor Angus. No bias there then… I’d been considering SS’s hypothesis just before he did that and thought it unlikely but now I’m not so sure.
Cameron actually says ‘What are you frightened of?’ You can even hear it, very faintly, on the audio track.
Sorry to be a spoil sport but I don’t think the PM said FO. I did look like it, but I think his microphone died rather than him mouthing the words. Although I have absolutly no respect for Wasteminster, I do not think the Speaker would allow such language to be used just feet away from him. Then again, I’m no lip reader and it is Wasteminster.
Well done Cuphook, I watched it again and you are perfectly correct. Geez, maybe it’s me that’s biased.
@benarmine
“maybe it’s me that’s biased.” You should get the Electoral Commission to look into that.
Spending by “other” organisations capped at £150,000? Isn’t that really free reign to bend the rules? Basically the Orange Order, Glasgow City Council and the BBC spring to mind so thats another 450,000 on “thier” side. That’s without the Bullingdon Club or anyone else chipping in. There are HUNDREDS of “Organisations” on facebook any rich campaigner from either side could “Donate” to.
Am I just a paranoid old Cynic, or do I have a point?
I worry about the potential “other organisations” loophole as well.
Hopefully the sight of money pouring in from such unsavoury sources is enough to make people question the motives involved.
