Dirty old pot attacks non-kettle

Some of you will have missed this over the weekend:
Yes – Michelle Mone, of all the people on Earth, really did just go on TV and accuse Nicola Sturgeon of being all about ego. We’ll leave you to absorb that for a bit.
Repulsive woman gets soapbox spot. Has to drive home her dislike for capable politician. Oxygen is all she wants. Mayfair was my teenage mag.
I did try to absorb that. but it gave me diarrhoea.
I also feel slightly sick.
All fur coat and nae knickers.
Did she just say “we could not ever survive on our own?”
Has she ever been to Luxembourg, or Switzerland, or Denmark? Independence doesn’t seem to have done them any harm.
Why is she on the telly? Everybody in Scotland despises her.
Acknowledgement of Nicola’s competence, and quality of leadership, had to be dragged out of Mone. Even the Sky presenters were more willing to affirm Nicola! Everyone has “ego”. Nicola’s “ego” is not overweening and it looks to me as if she puts Scotland before her “ego”. What does this tell us about Mone?
Another millionaire tells it to Scotland like it is – boak!
I’ll just leave this here: link to wp.me
What a repulsive midden of a woman. Independence is but a short step from being the devomaxiest bestest near federalistiest country in the world. We have so much power already in Scotland that me and my neighbours make our own laws just because we can.
I said it before – she’s nothing but a wee ‘hairy’! This terrific Glasgow word is needed for this wummin!
A klinker on the arse of humanity 🙁
There’s no “me” in Nicola, but there is in Mone.
Couldnae gie a toss.
A ‘good leader’ (eg Sturgeon)
needs a large ego,
..to carry the wide burden of
responsibility (leadership).
A ‘rich’ ‘businesswomen’ (eg Mone)
needs a large ego,
..to justify self-interest
above all (greed).
Silly season now permanent.
I still can’t believe she’s
in the House of Lords.
Let’s have a TV DEBATE!
Mone vs Sturgeon..?
.. Pay per view even?
I think I need some ‘mentoring’,
Do I want my hole ?
No,not the question, you might get slurred at you,if you were a millionaire footballer in Annabels nightclub Mayfair, at 3:00 am.
The oft quoted £15 billion black hole,that you would get,if you go Indy,…a scary number.
The English Premier League recently announced a £8 billion tv deal and that’s only for 3 years !
Suddenly,I am not so scared,the £15 billion doesn’t seem so big now,IMO Scotland has already got the talent pool available (to prosper),some of the smartest people (from all walks of life),are In/from Scotland.
Let’s unleash their potential,allow them to show that in iScotland,brains will be more highly regarded than bullshit and fear not,if we really must get our hole….it will all be over very quickly.
;-j
Suggestion. Michelle Mone should be cereal woman for BT2.
If ever another reason was needed for the abolition of the House of Lords, this woman provides it.
Unbelievably she currently has the power to legislate over us without ever being elected. (As do 26 Church of England bishops.)
What a system!
Never mind. Not long now.
She is the worst kind of Union Jock, she is the type to go down stay in England for a bit, come back to Scotland with an English accent and look down on the great unwashed.
Even worse this woman comes from Glasgow’s East End and acts like she does, she’s a turn coat bastard, a stinking low life decease ridden fuckin rat who should find no welcome any time she crosses the border.
Does anyone actually care what she thinks?——-About anything.
“We could not ever survive on our own”.
What?!
I don’t understand how anyone can be capable of such blind ignorance and stupidity.
I fully support Scotland being independent but can have logical debates about whether we would be “better off” or “worse off” which tends to boil down to perceptions, but to say that Scotland “could not ever survive” is just plain dumb.
How can she say she is such a proud Scot but hold her fellow Scots in such contempt that they would manage to kill a well educated, diverse, outward looking and inclusive country.
Especially so given the current chaos emanating from Westminster.
I suppose you can forgive her for this level of self blindness, given that Miss Mayfair has such a stake in the system but it genuinely depresses me that so many share this view.
London’s loss is Thorntonhall’s gain, so I’m told by the denizens of that fine village
Some Barbied comments indeed.
Moan Mone Moan Mone Moan!
Says it all really
She is ????? sorry that’s all I’ve got.
Maybe I should re-write that second part:
Even worse this woman comes from Glasgow’s East End and acts like she does, not my cup of tea, dreadful woman, well surprised anyone listens to her 🙂
After Scotland is Independent the rUK will go into political meltdown and it’s an odds on certainty that there will be radical changes, for good or bad it’s their problem.
There will be a huge rid out of the Other Place, first to go will be all the Scottish troughers, what goes around comes around.
@Bob Mack says: 11 July, 2016 at 11:15 am:
“Does anyone actually care what she thinks?——-About anything.”
Of course there is Bob Mack Ms Mone cares but no one else, with the possible exception of Westminster’s ever loyal meja.
BTW:
Strange one today. I made my first comment of the day just a few minutes ago, mainly in The Lallans tune, (diacect), but with an English translation.
I got the, “Slow down your commenting too fast”, message. I think I may just not bother for a while. That’ll probably please a few certain other posters, though.
Mone seems out of step with government policy.
Someone send her a copy of the McCrone Report.

Oh, I forgot. She isn’t very bright.
And why accuse Nicola Sturgeon of having an “ego”, when this is about the last thing you can accuse Nicola of. You could say: she didn’t get elected at her first attempts… she is too left-wing because [insert well-constructed argument]… she…
Oh, I forgot. She isn’t very bright.
Mone’s ego must be huge if she thinks anyone takes any notice of what she thinks and says.
Maybe should stick to telling everyone about how great and successful a business woman she is.
Perhaps in a multi-dimensional universe there is a place beyond irony where her words are credible.
It’s pathetic that when even right wing rent-an-uninformed-opinion hacks say positive things about NS, she has to play the “we are not worthy of existence, imperial masters” line. Did she get her tummy rubbed afterwards?
Not a mental image I wish to retain, on reflection. Maybe she got a doggy treat.
Done it again!
She’ll be watching her FB/Twitter for the first Vile Sep to use swearing words so she can run back to the studio for a 10 second in-depth interview.
Hm, and I should care about what this nonentity says. WHY exactly?
Who?
Is prone to Mone still even a thing!
Irrelevant individual.
She always reminds me of Ephialtes from the film `300`,
who was seduced by the promise of a Generals uniform and the luxuries of the Persian Empire into betraying his own countrymen/woman,
in her case it was an ermine robe and a flat with a view of the Thames.
Nichole does not stand for herself, but millions of Scots and beyond.
We’re too wee and too poor.
So says a dyed blonde bra seller.
Oh for feck’s sake, who cares what this odious wee wummin thinks?
Obviously Sky TV, and the bums and tits MSM.
US Owned media driving home the message.
‘Scotland, you could not survive on your own.’
Mone, don’t bother coming back then, when we reassert our Self Determination.
Is this the same person who bugged her employees? Am I interested?
Naw.
She couldn’t lace NS’ boots.
Odious self serving carpetbagger. They’re welcome to her.
She mistakes ego for passion Nicola is very focused at what she does and that is work for us as FM not an easy job.
Mone however is all about ego and works for nobody but herself sits on her fat arse doing what for what except scrounging of the public purse like the rest of the HoL.
Just another not what you know but who you know chancer no wonder the UK is fecked with morons like this in state,plus i think old darling might have flipped her once or twice lmao Dave might have had a shot as well he likes farm animals i wonder what animals Dave will keep in his Scottish estate should we build a SPCA building near by ?
Why wont somebody please think about the piglets.
Ms Mone’s contribution to politics in Scotland has consisted of nothing but threats and ego. Not sure anyone in Scotland will lose sleep over her latest attempt at fifteen minutes.
No no what Miss Piggy Mone really means is her kind couldnt survive without the union, because once that is gone she and her status are finished, same goes for all the other cringing craven scotchbrits who p1ss on Scotland without thought.
OT I see Guido Fawkes is saying that while it is yet to be confirmed his sources are saying that Leadsom is quitting at noon.
She is an embarrassment to Scotland.
Ledsome packs in the towel.
A coronation now.
Hope Nicola is up to speed.
Eu will now say, get yer Article 50 in NOW.
Yup!
Leadsom quitting at noon …says Sky news.
Also:
The eagle may be landing at the same time maybees aye maybees naw again!
Oh!:
Well done Murray, stressless tennis for a change. 🙂
Asshole opens mouth and talks shit on the telly. That’s it.
I can’t bring myself to watch that.
Tempted to say so what who cares what she says or what her opinion is on Scottish independence. The thing is she is being given air time. These people have no scruples, Mone is an air head on the air, many watching will be taken in by the crap.
Nicola Sturgeon has immensely more integrity, and is massively more intelligent than that talking barbie could ever have. It does seem that these people not worthy of any credit for anything really, are put up as some kind of authority on hugely important matters, when in actual fact they know fcuk all and would sell their own country down the river for self gain. Hardly worthy of comment, but needs to be challenged for the lies they are allowed to spout into peoples’ living rooms.
Don’t give a damn what moaning mone says.

Thatcher2 says Brexit means brexit

Scottish through and through but is against policies to help Scotland and doesn’t think we have a chance of surviving on our own, and refuses to LIVE in Scotland.
BTW, WHY the feck was a failed businesswoman and currently failing bra maker even ON that programme?
I just look forward to the day when Scotland is an Independent country and people like Mone have to explain to their tiny captive audience of sycophants how and why such a peely wally pretendy wee embarrassment like Scotland can turn out to be one of the best run, forward looking, constructive and engaging Nation states in Europe which founded itself upon it’s immense dignity, courage and integrity, and did so for no other reason than the good of its people.
Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. And for you Ms Mone, I’m gonna guess that isn’t very much.
To death sounds about right. It’s attitudes like Mone’s that are killing Scotland. Incongruous hearing them from an entrepreneur – someone who should be able to see the opportunities in any situation.
Another britnat Scot eager to do down Scotland.

September 2014…. Deutsche Bank’s chief economist, David Folkerts-Landau, said a Yes vote would cause an event worse than the Great Depression.
July 2016… Deutsche Bank’s chief economist, David Folkerts-Landau, has called for a €150 billion bailout for European banks.
[Deutsche Bank shares are currently trading for 8% of their peak price in May 2007. One wonders if David Folkerts-Landau is possibly in the wrong profession?]
I love it when the get all bitter and twisted
Unfortunately I watched the whole programme when it was on. She was hopelessly out of her depth right the way through, despite the entire show being firmly positioned in the shallow end of the pool.
Why couldn’t Scotland ever survive on its own,when lots of other similair countries can?
If Denmark,Norway,NZ etc can be successful independent countries,so can Scotland.
To suggest otherwise is racist guff.
The paths are paved with Gold
Useless Tory woman lies (par for the course) survives on public money and flogging jewellery on the QVC shopping channel. Tax evaded all their lives and bankrupted Britain. The only ones they think of are their self centred selves and sanctioning and starving other people children. They are despicable.
The Pledge is as bad as the VOW. A total load of nonsense.
Eagle the ego is another disgraceful lying Unionist.
There has to be a GE. The Tories committed Electoral Fraud to win the GE and destroy the world economy. They should be in prison. Westminster Unionists are lying criminals. If they had not cheated and lied and broke Electoral rules. The SNP would have held the balance of power and non of this would have happened. If Labour had wisened up under Corbyn and didn’t renege like the rest of them.
Cameron is the one of the worse PM in history. Along with Thatcher, Brown and Blair.
Andrex has resigned next for May Thatcher. The Brexit failures. The Tories are destroying the world economy. Westminster Unionists are destroying the world economy, They are making people sick. People are sick of it. Sanctioning and starving vulnerable people.
Tax evaders are buying Oxford degrees and ruining the world economy. Funded 200 to 1 by public money. There is something wrong with the English education and political system.
So Loathsome believes the support of 25% of the Parliamentary Conservative Party is insufficient support to justify pushing for the job of Tory leader.
But, the support of 20% of the electorate is, under FPTP, sufficiently good to form the government of the country.
Aye right.
Yep, we certainly appear to have passed through the looking glass.
Onward. 11:51
“Embarrassment to Scotland”
Naw…..
An affront to common decency and humanity of all nationalities. She fits in perfectly in the world she now occupies. They are welcome to her!!!
P.S.
While she struts about acting like a model she should alwaysremember that a model is “a non-working imitation of the real thing”
More pieces of silver to the lady that stabs her (ex) country in the back
Its balloons like this that are running the UK.
When we are Independent she would not stand a hope of being elected and deciding the fate of millions
Leadsom scuttles back under her stone after her failed attempt to smear May. It was a bad mistake!
Meanwhile May be getting CMD out the door in the ‘country’s’ best interests as the tory vote of the members not required if the 1922 committee nods approval.
As for Moan and the Eagle both eclipsed today and Nicola will have to shrug, finish off her oatcake, put the crossword away and make the next move.
Still got some popcorn left from yesterday. 🙂
C’mon Scotland!
Typical Tory on benefits surviving on other people’s labours.
May Thatcher was useless on migration. She failed. She cut the staff, created chaos and queues. She blamed the heid one she had appointed for the havoc. They resigned and called her out. A total Tory muck up.
They are mucking up the world economy so they and their associates can taxe evade, Ruining the world economy. Rather than pay their required share they will muck up the economy and lose more. Typical Tory/Unionists ignorant and greedy. They cut off her nose to fight her face.
Eagle is a self seeking absolute disgrace. A diversion created for her Tory mates. She is a Tory.
She loves Scotland…BUT!
Half the nation’s of Earth have smaller populations and the majority have far less resources or potential.
She has made it clear what she thinks of our abilities and potential. I would rather take a positive view of our future than listen to this siren of profit and self interest.
My God what does that tell you about the House of Lords!
And the face lift is not standing up too well these days!!
Scotland is surviving perfectly well without Mone. Scotland would not survive without Nicola, Alex and Co standing up for Scotland,
it’s always a good idea to listen to and consider views on any particular subject that are put forward by informed intelligent people who have a proven track record of success in business or indeed politics and diplomacy this unfortunately is not one of these occasions and by the reaction of the other people round that table she just gives the impression of bitterness and bile , well done dear you are confirming most peoples impressions of you .
Shows you how smart she is when she thinks Ruth Davidson’s Grrreat or is that Grrrate
From the woman who could barely spell “Bra” even if she had support!
See what I did there
Aw Rev come on ?? ; you missed out the condescending “What would we Mary from Govan think” crap she went onto next, that’s the best bit surely ??
Come on now, no censoring, lets have it in its full glory surely??
Will England survive ? That I believe is the pertinent question.
Unelected trash in ermine!!
Stand for election at Holyrood on thea constituency seat, wumman!
Holy UKOK fcuk.

“And then there was Erin Brockovich. Perhaps Mone’s greatest coup: the bra that gave Julia Roberts her Oscar- winning cleavage was none other than an Ultimo. How did that come about? “I always say you’ve got to go out there and call people. And I got a list of Hollwood stylists and just started bombarding them with my bras.”
Lady Mone of Mayfair, the Rosa Parks of boobies.
With Leadsom gone, I assume they simply crown May?
In which case, we can expect Article 50 soon? No need to wait until Sept now.
May says ‘Brexit means Brexit’. I take this to mean the UK as a whole is out. No special negotiations/deals for Scotland. Good. Get all this federal shite in the midden and move on.
[just got ‘too quickly’ message on first submission]
Mone is a sphincter rewarded with a title for spewing shite!
C’mon the BUM, get Mone and Nicola together for a wee debate.
Mone will crap herself and recite a full appointments diary for the next 10-years. Another Unionist liar, plain and simple!
Meanwhile, North Ayrshire & Arran still setting the early pace!

Can We have regime change please..
so it begins may/thatcher 2 to be our next leader.
time for the independence movement to get mobilised
time for the people of scotland to stand up and be
ready for the battle .
time to get rid of people like mone and nawbags who bend on two knees to this cesspit of a union and who talk scotland
down at every opportunity.
time for liebour liebdems to choose which side of history
they want to be on.
time to stand up to the bbc sky and all msm who continually
and blatantly lie to our people .
time for the people of scotland to choose to be the country we want it to be . not what the uk govt wants us to be .
nicola fire the starting gun . scotland now knows what the future is going to be . time to get out of this corrupt and xenophobic union which i and other proud scots want no part of . let the battle commence
For entrepreneurs like Mone and Branson (back in 2014) to oppose independence is so hypocritical.
Every start up begins with hurdles and most start with self doubt. Quite often there are people who will have this attitude- you will fail.
It is incredible that people who have started businesses against the odds should have this deep seated negativity when it comes to Scotland. It is a losing mentality.
Nicola Sturgeon is a role model- Michelle Mone is an example of how not to end up for bairns: a woman who loathes the ambition of others, vain and fragile with a love of privilege and status.
she is irrelevant.
One of the most surprising features of what Mone said in that clip was that she uttered the phrase “I think.” That in itself was an out-and-out falsehood.

There will be a huge rid out of the Other Place, first to go will be all the Scottish troughers, what goes around comes around.
They are all on high alert, they know what is impending and will say anything, everything to whoever will listen in order to maintain the status quo.
This woman is most definitely on my Barbara Cartland list.
What a great addition to the house of (so-called) lords, David Cameron must surely have been drunk? or perhaps his penchant for dead pigs has resulted in “history” between them???
In any case a nobody has said nothing of importance, but seriously leave off the Botox woman, you look as wooden as your mind!
Isn’t it telling that the English people around that table thought highly of Nicola Sturgeon and the “Scot” took the opportunity to denigrate her and Scotland.
“I love Scotland but we’re too poor and stupid to rule ourselves”. Oh do fuck off.
I am not and never have been anti English but I will admit to being anti cringer.
Apologies if she has had a stroke.
Article 50 wont be moved until September, holidays will come first.
Then the serious business will begin, hope she is not my Prime Minister for very long, like the rest of you folks I’m anxious for the staring gun.
Mone is an ignoramus too stupid to understand that she is actually despised by the Londoncentric ‘elite’ which gave her meaningless baubles and comedy titles.
But she has one redeeming quality as far as the colonial media is concerned – her willingness to talk down her compatriots at every turn.
That alone gives her value in their eyes, and in fact seems to be the sole reason for her existence.
Mone’s the wee lassie in the playground against the back wa’ tossing her bouffant hair aboot whilst bitching about the brightest girl in the school wi her wee gang o pals too thick to see her innate jealously at work in her slagging off. No grace, no respect, no humility.
………..and this Michelle Mone is a Tory Noble Scottish Baroness. Puff yer chest out with pride!
Beggars belief—-her bile for Scotland’s elected First Minister is there for all to see.
What is the point in highlighting this nonsense? Scotland needs to become independent asap. The key to this is persuading the over 55’s to become Yes voters. Why not focus on what would help achieve this rather than wasting time on B grade celebrities.

..
May says ‘Brexit means Brexit’. I take this to mean the UK as a whole is out. No special negotiations/deals for Scotland. Good.
————-
I think the Brexit mob were pushing her to make clear there is no going back, and that she will put freedom of movement first before staying in the single market.
So as things stand, it looks like the UK will be leaving the single market, because there is no way the EU will budge on its main principles. The 4 freedoms of movement: goods, services, capital and people.
The chances of winning a quick indyref must surely be increased if the UK will be completely out the single market with a decade of uncertainty ahead. Compared to a Norway style deal where the UK ended up in the EEA.
If the UK is completely out the common market then there is huge potential for jobs and investment coming to an independent Scotland in the EU – but one things for sure – it will be a VERY nasty campaign as all the Britnat racists and bigots try to paint a picture of Scotland being ‘invaded’ by Poles, Romanians and Syrian refugees now that England has pulled up the drawbridge.
For that reason, it may still be preferable to have a second question to confirm if an indy Scotland will stay in the EU or EEA. Or leave that to whatever parties are elected in the first Holyrood elections after independence. That way, we can say democracy comes first.
It’s a hard call. If we have the option to automatically keep our EU membership, that would be a huge selling point for jobs and investment – but it also means Project Fear 2 will target working class voters ramping up a message of racism and xenophobia. Daily Express stories of “100 new mosques planned for Scotland” etc. Unfortunately Scotland isn’t immune to this sort of thing, and it will be amplified if England is out.
There are some hard tactical decisions to be made, and no clear sailing.
Despite the fact that there were positive comments made in favour of Nicola she stuck to her negative position. I actually spat oot ma tea when she declared herself ‘Scottish through and through’. Baroness ‘Moan’ of MAYFAIR!!! Obviously doesn’t do irony!
Urgent question re triggering article 50 today 3.30

To gentlemen readers of a certain age. Do you think she was the bushy tailed rabbit in the readers letters section.

She can take her love of Scotland and shove it up her nearest available aperture.
A Quisling indeed.

I get where you are coming from but the white trash in question, happens to be in government. That’s the ‘English’ government in Westminster, where Scots MPs are now second class members (see EVEL) and our vote to remain is ignored.
Why should English Bishops and air-head ex-models influence the life opportunities of Scots? Is it ’cause we are Better Together?
Has her golfer boyfriend in Barbados perhaps come to his senses and seen the light? – we haven’t heard much about him lately.
Michelle Mone been oot haunting hooses again, her charm intelligence and personality shine through like light escaping from a black hole. Nasty cheap piece of work. Thick as mince, enough said.
What did you expect?,feelings from a wound up toy ,i dont think so ,the pin up of laptop loyal and ibroke crawlers,she is abouty as welcome as a fart in a lift ,did she pay off her debts yet?

That B grade celeb’s is an example of UKOK democracy haha in action. So its an interesting display of how corrupt the UK elite establishment actually is and how Scots might like to not be governed like this.
Keep in mind, Lady Mone is perfectly entitled to accept UK.gov ministerial cabinet positions.
Crash Gordon was a great advocate of giving Lords and Baron’s seats in his cabinet. Although Crash tended to give them Lordships and cabinet jobs at the same time.
You can trust the BBC to give someone like that airtime. I heard James Naughtie interviewing some lord the other day on a book he, the lord, had just written. It was about Henry 5th, who had died just before he was to be crowned king of France.
Naughtie asked what would have happened had Henry survived and been crowned. I’m sure he wasn’t expecting the answer he got. The lord replied that the centre of power would have shifted to France and England would have become in effect a colony. Eventually England would had to have had a war of independence. The irony of his remarks seemed to escape both men as Scotland wasn’t mentioned.
However, I heard the interview repeated the next day and that section had been removed seamlessly.
Sneaky old Auntie BBC.
She’s a poor soul.
Mrs May and her “one nation” speil… blah blah blah. The “one nation” being England of course.
Has anyone posted the link to the “Independence for England” petition on this thread? It would really annoy Michelle if England became independent. Maybe she would have to give up her seat in the Lords.

Also, if Lady Mone’s doesn’t eat for 7 days, what a cheap date and more for me. I’m from Aberdeen, where we’re all really mean.
This is very O/T so apologies for that. I was very touched by the tragic accident near Oban earlier in the week and the loss of the two bairns. There has been a crowd fund set up to pay the funeral costs for them. I felt compelled to add to this as a way of marking their passing and helping out their parents in the aftermath of such loss. I hope some Wingers have a similar feeling in this regard and we can help this reach its total…sooner rather than later.

Just for clarity, the last two questions were not addressed to yourself. 😉
The unseen power brokers have been at work over the weekend.
CMD can’t hang around as the UK is going to the dogs and Leadsom has to go … 1922 committee will dictate and all tory members are effectively told to get knotted as over in the ‘real’ labour party they are self destructing, and we see an advantage.
Meanwhile: The puppet masters trying to oust Corbyn have decided to go for it with a temporary candidate destined to stand down and leave the way clear later for a suitable ‘Blairite’ to move in.
So the Eagle has been loosed and is circling! But not convincing
Does Jeremy need 51 nominations from the labour party MPs as the eaglets say?
What does the rule book say?
Two different and completely contradictory bits of legal advice have been obtained. Who’s right?
————————————————————–
ii: Where there is no vacancy nominations may be sought by potential challengers each year prior to the annual session of Party conference. In this case any nomination must be supported by 20% of the combined Commons members of the PLP and members of the EPLP. Nominations not attaining this threshold shall be null and void.
—————————————————————-
Do the words “in this case any nomination” apply only to challengers, or do they suggest the sitting leader needs the backing of MPs and MEPs too?
Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just a legal dispute though; the rulebook is another battleground for a bitter political scrap.
Labour’s ruling committee, the NEC, will decide and their decision may then be challenged in court.
Whatever the result, the losing side in the dispute won’t cheerfully accept it.
Those trying to replace Corbyn argue any leader who can’t get the support of 20% – just 51 – of his MPs is a pretty hopeless leader.
The other side say the argument shows the Labour leader’s challengers are afraid of a fair fight.
I see popcorn shares have soared. 🙂
I have little time for Ms Mone. Fur coat and nae knickers, in my opinion.
The vitriol she spews requires to be challenged and ‘The Pledge’ is not the platform for this. It’s dire. It has June Sarpong on it and a plethora of yogurt for brains panellists. Again, just my opinion.
Put Ms Mone on a serious politics show and watch with interest. If her previous appearances on Indyref shows were anything to go by, it could be in her interest that she perhaps sticks to promoting diet tablets and fake tan. And her status, of course. She is very good at promoting that.
Why the fcku are we bothering about The Moan.
A nonentitty.
Aye right Stuart, I’m not watching that. Forced to choose, I’m S rather than M.
In due course, who is going to pay to keep our Lady Muck, Lords Fou, Flipper et all in the big hoose ?
I doubt the English nationalists will buy that.
well looks like a battle of wills is on the horizon , with the yet to be confirmed English PM stating brexit means brexit there is no way we will be remaining in the EU .
I voted to leave the EU because Cameron was involved and TTIP was still being worked on in secret but accept the majority of Scottish people did not agree this i accept .
Being told by a unelected English PM what to do is a whole different ball game i wonder who will blink first ?
we are at your back Nicola even people who dont support the SNP i believe are at your side .
Fundamentally, Mone is just a Tory. That is all there is to her. She has achieved her objective of being part of the Westminster establishment. Nothing more to be said.
Woohoo. Big Article 50 debate this afternoon, and Theresa “Brexit means Exit” May has a clear run at Maggie’s handbag.

Voting no isnae caused by cannyness..
I’d say more like self interest and f?*k anybody else.
More WMD for Scotland then, unless…
Says she loves Scotland with one breath and then says we couldn’t survive on our own in the next. The word ‘c*nt’ springs to mind.
Um! Couldn’t watch it after the word “incredible”.
The irony burns, what planet is she from?
Anyway, it strikes me that during the Indyref at least the Scottish Government published a plan in the form of a white paper for what would happen. For the EU ref it’s utterly criminal that the issue was brought to vote without an equivalent for Brexit.
Mone said on Sky we need another Brexit referendum because of the number of lies that were told to mislead the voters.
Irony ?

Shes just a git.
There’s a difference between a ‘strong’ ego (confident, clear thinking, assertive) AKA Nicola and ‘big’ ego (brash, in-you-face, look at me!) AKA Michelle Mone.
i thought mone was about to have an orgasm… well, she did drop her fish supper..
Just another Scotland hater given UKOK Brit Nat media time to vent her bile. The good Union Jocks like her will be getting a lot of time with their Media whores in the weeks and months ahead now that the Tories are going for a coronation of Maggie T I mean Theresa May.
The good little Union Jocks at STV Aberdeen are already on the attack today with the announcement that RAF Lossie will benefit allegedly from a £100m investment.
Well done Michelle, another epic fail that was more effective than a Snp party political broadcast to rally the yes voters. Keep up the good work!
Entrepreneurs build and grow businesses
She built a brand on a skilled workforce thrn flogged that brand name on cheep outsourced product ditching the skilled workforce and listed and bald out the whole kit an caboodle for the money.
Thats not entrepreneurial listing and selling out that a smash and grab.
I forgot to add equating her with a Dirty Old Pot is pretty insulting to the Pot.
Brown was a son of the manse. Now we have May. A daughter of the vicarage. Time will tell

BBC vote NO Scotland will blast this one hard at us, but what’s happened to the Clyde RN frigate factory, or the UKOK central belt super barracks, or Leuchars and Kinloss etc?
Scotland’s been demilitarised by exact same UKOK freak show and now they have Snatcher Thatcher mark 2.
Cash_x @ 15:10,
Further to your comment, it’s not about self-interest, it’s about perceived self-interest. The difference being that Scot-Buts, like this pathetic Dame of Scot-Buts, have a complete imagination bypass. In their conditioned institutionalised behaviour (the “cringe”), they just can’t conceive of Scotland being able to thrive on its own. Even, it seems, when Brexit is taking their precious UK down the toilet.
It’s not a false dichotomy between “head and heart”, as they claim. Indy is as much a hard-headed understanding that we can do far better with everything under our own control as it is in love of country.
The antidote to this failure of self-belief (as someone has already mentioned) is to point to the example of plenty of small countries with less natural resources than we have who are doing far better. (None of their people are clamouring to be taken over by a bigger neighbour!)
And incidentally, it’s not to get sucked into a nit-picking discussion over crooked GERS figures.
Queenie’s itinerary now includes a purr with Cameron on Wednesday for tea and sympathy as he explains where it all went wrong.
Pickford’s van for Dave! 🙂
So May will be PM by Wednesday…well that moved quickly…eh?
“We could not ever survive on our own”.
Whenever I hear anyone making that statement about Scotland,I think they are as thick as shit.
Not ‘surviving’ means she must think we will all just die from living in an independent Scotland.
The means of this human demise I’m not sure.Starvation,mass suicide,genocide at the hands of the English ?
Michelle Mone and all the other shite talkers should tell us how we will all fail to survive and expire.
They really are prize shit talkers.

Mrs May’s tenure as Home Secretary has been little better than disastrous – a succession of derelictions that has left Britain’s borders and coastline at least as insecure as they were in 2010, and which mean that British governments still rely on guesswork to estimate how many people enter and leave the country.
Take the demoralised, underfunded UK Border Force. As the public discovered after a people-smugglers’ vessel ran aground in May, it has only three cutters protecting 7,700 miles of coastline. Italy by contrast has 600 boats patrolling its 4722 miles.

“What is the point in highlighting this nonsense? Scotland needs to become independent asap. The key to this is persuading the over 55’s to become Yes voters. Why not focus on what would help achieve this rather than wasting time on B grade celebrities.”
I wish someone would focus on it. I share your frustration with the apparent slow uptick of support for independence however take heart because it’s pretty much a one way street. When someone of the soft or even hard no persuasion starts, through whatever thought process or reason, to mentally open up a bit and decides to look at it more closely they start to become exposed to the facts as they actually are, then they start to connect the dots and finally grasp the bigger picture at which point there’s no going back because there’s nothing to go back to. It becomes crystal clear that the entire unionist case is based on nothing but lies and bullshit, strictly for suckers.
If it’s currently at say 53% for Yes then it’s possible that if for example the EU/Brexit thing doesn’t pan out particularly favourably for independence it could slip back to say 51 or 52% but I think it’s probably more likely that it’ll just keep inching up to 53, 54, 55, 56…
That process could be speeded up significantly by using billboard advertising. Inform-Scotland . org was supposed to be doing this but nothing happened and it sank without trace, without as far as I’m aware even an explanation about why. If however some group or team of doers not dreamers could be formed including a good copywriter, a couple of pro indy legal people with knowledge of law as it relates to media and advertising and someone who could set up a crowdfunding platform to pay for the hires then things could really start to move.
You could have billboards, strategically placed at busy junctions and main roads for about a week with for example a worded statement about how Scottish exports are exported out of English ports and therefore not counted as Scottish revenue with the verifiable source of the info printed below.
A good copywriter could condense the statement into one or two simple and effective sentences, with no reference to the SNP, WoS, or even independence but still nevertheless a statement which by implication supports independence.
Or you could have billboards with a simple question like “If Scotland is the economic basket case that we’re told it is, then why is Westminster so desperate to keep it?” or words to that effect. Again, a good copywriter could put it across succinctly and effectively.
That’s a question, incidentally, which I’ve never – ever – heard a unionist being asked, by the SNP or anyone else.
I really can’t understand why this method of reaching out to the general public is not being used. A major opportunity just being disregarded, a trick most definitely being missed.
Anyone know why?

Pork futures looking good.

Just wait till the P&J pumps out the nonsense on the back of the usual the Union is best guff. This will no doubt be followed by RAF jets molesting Russians in International Air Space again.

Well anything to cut down of the Scottish success at the All Ingerland Club.
@ Nana – was watching the CMS discussion. Unfortunately, just at the vital question of why there are no dramas based in Scotland, the stream died. Alan Clements said “Scotland slightly went out of fashion, and at the time of the ref..” Then the stream stopped.
After it was restored the rest of what he said has been edited out.
Nevertheless, the discussion about the licence fee, the amount spent in Scotland as opposed to London and 100% domination of London in commissioning is damning. This after 2 hrs.
Didn’t I hear Nicola say at the start of this mess that we would not put up a border? Pretty please Nicola, think again – just to keep the Mone out.

So, like, I’m watching this video go down. Waiting for some movement.
An eyebrow flick, laugh lines, a chin dimple, a furrowed brow, anything.
But nothing moves. It’s like her face is set in pavement concrete.
So how much Botox has gone into that mug, anyway?
Is face juice a billable House of Lords expense? Must be.
What the useless Press never Report. Osbourne’s 60/80 Oil tax when the price had fallen 75%. Ruining the Oil sector and importing more Oil and Gas putting up the trade deficit and the debt. Useless ignorant, incompetent.
Scottish taxpayers would be paying to buy and house the jets for Yanky murdering warmongers to illegally bomb the world to bits. Killing, sanctions and maiming innocent people and starving them to death. So US multimillionaires and their associates can tax evade and line their pockets. The corrupt West. After Blair’s mess to muck up the world economy.
It would be Scottish taxpayers picking up the tab for WMD’s illegally based 30mins from Glasgow, and airport bases to illegally kill and main innocent people. A Yanky nuclear dump. Money which could be better spent building frigates and patrolling Scotland’s border.
The UK Defence Bill £40Billion a year should be cut and money should be used reconstructing Iraq. No overspending on redundantant weaponry being sold to rogue States worldwide.
The US is descending into Civil War. The US useless Administration should sort out these problems. Instead of bombing the world to bits, destroying the world economy from illegal bases.
Talking about anagrams again, Michelle Mone comes out as “trashy slapper”.
Has she said if it will be before, or after cabinet meetings when she administers ‘correction’ ?
And, who will be her ‘Willie’ ?
Ready Steady GO Indy Ref 2. Full Mental Jaikits oan People they will throw everything at us + the kitchen sink.
Even with such a tiny clip, she is shown up to a completely out of her depth by the rest of the interviewees.
If she thinks that Nicola Sturgeon is all ego and not for Scotland then maybe she should challenge her to a televised interview?
When she says, we could never survive on our own, I wish one of the others round the table had said to her ” what is your reasoning for that Michelle, why do you think so?” then see her squirm a bit trying to give an educated concise answer.
The worst type of bullshit ever from her.

A true reflection of Westminster intellect
Surely Scotland is better off by the fact she abandoned it and headed south.
I must say that the programme concerned is rank.
All of Moan’s assets that got her where she is today were kept in the underwear that her former husband manufactured.
I recall seeing her at the St Andrews Boxing Club in Glasgow, when she was a teenager.
She walked around the ring in short shorts and a tight vest top carrying a card with the number of the next round on it.
Her ego loved all the wolf whistles, and she knew that she was in an ideal spot for gold digging the cream of Glasgow’s male business community.
Some things just do change, do they!
PS Her face in the video looks different.
Maybe she has 3 now?
Robert Graham 5.09
Ta.
Dark forces obvs.
@ Liz – he did say that “Scotland went out of fashion”. But he then went on to say something about “at the time of the ref…..” then the stream was abruptly cut off. When the stream was restored, the rest of what he said is edited out.
He was asked why no dramas had been commissioned in Scotland for years since the likes of Hamish Macbeth, 1995 – 1997 i.e. 20 years, and Monarch in the Glen, 2000 – 2005.

labour wont let corbyn stand, talking of a sectret ballot at nec to spare the members embarressment
i discussed this with eric joyce on a previous thread, as, although many here saw corbyn as a real threat to the snp/yes, and he was, i always thought that him getting elected then being hung drawn and quarted would be the final straw for labour in scotland. eric argued that what happened going forward would be down to corbyn being able to unite the labour party. he hasnt and will be gone by wed afternoon.
ps, eric joyce is now a yes supporter as are most of the old labour guard and they represent a sizable demographics in scotland.

Mone was dumped! She put laxatives in his champers! Slashed his tyres and ripped up hrs duds did this (Baroness) Mone!!

It happened again. ‘slow down comment’ OK take the hint. Away.
OT
I think it was the HMS Somerset, a Type 23 Frigate (not a navy destroyer as the Record called her back in April), and also the HMS Valiant, a 42m Customs Cutter, involved in the £500 million cocaine seize. Which gives an indication of the minimum the SDF would need in iScotland. I’d say minimum 2 or 3 cutters and 3 or 4 frigates would do the job in an economical fashion – plus perhaps 3 or 4 MPAs. And Lynx anti-sub / Merlin / commando or similar. And that’s just for peacetime operations!

To jcd @ 4.28pm
I agree with you.
Although understandable, on balance we’re probably too often engaged in responding to what is said or written AGAINST the case for Scottish independence by Unionists with access to the media..
While we do, and must, push back against their views, finding the range of media channels to do this effectively remains problematic. However, focusing on this approach too much means we tend to be on the back foot, or at least working within the frames of reference chosen by Unionists.
I trust the positive case-making for independence promised by the SNP this summer doesn’t get overtaken by Brexit-related issues. Important as they are, the case for independence needs to cover much more than the EU in my view if no voters in IndyRef1 are to be persuaded to change their minds.
The new reasons to be fearful of independence are already being honed by Unionists as is the next version of the Vow – the promise of ‘federalism’ – perhaps to be put in a three option referendum question?
I think I’ll just leave this here … I don’t see Nicola being an abject failure Michelle.

Now that would have sent her brain into meltdown!!
Robert Pfeffers – if you are around and reading do you have a view on – if Westminster use the Royal Prerogative to approve Article 50, could the Scottish Govt say that as we voted to stay in the EU, we are withdrawing our sovereignty from the UK union treaty, in order to claim our democratic right to stay in the EU?

We have a new Prime Minister.
This was to be put to a vote. OK a vote of only 125,000 mainly old farts living in leafy cottages in the Hampshires of this country.
However, the vote has been hobnailed. To what end?
I can only suspect that there are those in higher echelons not necessarily in the Tory party but pulling their strings who decided Leadsom was not of the right material and only May would ensure their interests or whatever were looked after.
The obvious question is why Leadsom withdrew, that’s the crux and having only 25% of the Tory parliamentary party behind her is not it. If you believe that well…Why would she even put her mane forward in the first place.
Also funny that all the leave candidates have now GONE. Boris for example what made his departure so hasty? I have no idea and neither does anyone else. I do have a view though, those 125,000 mainly old farts living in leafy cottages in the Hampshires of this country would be King makers and that’s not how it works!
They can’t decide unless both candidates belong to the puppet masters, the string pullers. No matter your view on either candidate or the Tory members I think this is a scandal for democracy. I would guess some blue haired old women in the Shires feel the same.
They will do what their telt though, it’s the UKOK way.
Thersa May anointed as our Prime Minister without a vote, who would have thought that possible? Personally I really don’t care either option was a nightmare, I’m a bitty shocked though that Tory party members didn’t get to chose that nightmare for us.
I can only surmise though that Tory polling among their own members was telling them they May not get the result they wanted.
Yes I am a conspiracy theorist and rightfully so, as they exist!

I feel sorry for anyone that might be so lacking in common sense, that they would ask to be mentored by a woman who quoted Whitney Houston in her Lord’s speech.

Khan, as new mayor has cancelled works on the garden bridge, due to ‘taxpayer exposure’ and lack of transparency.
Looks like May’s coronation was decided last night if not before. Madge is on her hols in sweatysockland at taxpayer funded holiday home at Balmoral. The Royal train was seen going through Stonehaven heading south at Lunchtime according to a pal who was returning from Stoney folk festival. leadsom announced at lunchtime that she had advised during the morning she was withdrawing. There is no way that Madges slaves would be able to arrange her entourage and her to travel south to meet May on Wed night in a couple of hours.
So the pantemine we saw today was set up days ago, I would not rule out the no kids storm to have been part of the plan.
Now May has said today at least twice Brexit means Brexit , good for us but I’m still trying to figure out what’s in it for Guffieland , or are they all delusional?
Panic over folks! Not to worry, the WM vacuum has been filled. We now have a new PM, very experienced, safe pair of hands, a remain supporter (aye, right!), who wears tartan, loves Scotland and will fight for ordinary folk. She is also a tough negotiator who will sort Europe out in record time.
Markets rise, FOOTSIE soars and the pound is well on the way to recovery. And by the way, there will be no Scottish referendum. Yep, life is good, aint it just peachy?
Panic over, plebs, business as usual. 🙂
Move on now, move on!

Where Nichola can use election for mandate for continued EU presence OR immediate independence

“Or you could have billboards with a simple question like “If Scotland is the economic basket case that we’re told it is, then why is Westminster so desperate to keep it?” or words to that effect. Again, a good copywriter could put it across succinctly and effectively.”
Indeed, what is it about Scotland and the Union , that those that live and work here are so reluctant to leave it .
What is it about a Govt comprised of the most talented people in Scotland , that Scots find so disenchanting.
Indeed more turn out for a Westminster general election , than the election for their own Parliament.
Since its inception the Scottish parliament elections have had lower turnouts than the corrupt affairs at Westminster elections.
True the MSM influenced many Scots by saying “the SNP would get a landslide”.
But Scots no longer read Newspapers and they stopped watching BBC Scotland in 2014, it seems the Yoons are infiltrating scoial media and manipulating the thoughts of Scots.
There is one interest overriding all others after this Brexit vote and it is not Scotland.
It is that London MUST remain the capital of the neoliberism money exchange centre of the World. That much is obvious even to me.
Those that control the money, I reckon believe it should remain that way. Funnily enough, they have a point else their screwed.
@Papko
Any idea why Leadsom stood for a “leadership contest” in the first place then?
Thought not, now why not be a good little troll and go back under the bridge. Pretty please.
Despite her “achievements” Michelle really isn’t as clever as she thinks she is.
So I will say this one more time. Read it slowly Michelle. Read it a few times if necessary.
Nobody, but nobody on the independence side is suggesting Scotland should be on its own. Quite the contrary. We are advocating Scotland participating FULLY in the globe of nations.
Theres actually very few countries could survive completely on their own, but ironically Scotland is one of the few that can at least feed, heat, light and water the population with plenty left over to spare. You couldn’t say that about the country immediately to our south.
She said she would leave if we voted Yes
We got lucky and she left anyway. I doubt she will be back and she will eventually fade away into plastic Jockdom. A caricature rather than a real person.
Hi, Papko.
Just doing the ironing and listening to the PravdaSound 4 stitch-up of Corbyn. Same old Carmichael we had to endure in 2014.
I always try to be polite but I don’t reply any more to silly sausages like you any more.
Enjoy your evening, mon vieux.

I don’t think many people know,perhaps she really did not like the media glare and hatefulness directed at her, it was a very manipulative interview, re motherhood.
All the Brexiters have been cleared out, very convenient not to hang around and reap the whirlwind.
One thing I am sure of the Public will have noted how catchy phrases and shocking headlines swayed them, and left them to pick up the pieces.
Its simply too complex a question to have a Yes or No answer .
bit like Scottish Independence, my SNP voting friends have all been outraged by the chaos and “damage to Britain”.
Though its seldom acknowledged but 40% of Scots voted “Yes” in 2014 , voted “leave ” in 2016.
The rank and file of the SNP and UKIP have a lot in common, they both hanker for a time gone, when highly paid skilled jobs were plentiful, houses were cheap, and things could only get better.
For your interest
I don’t like getting called a “Troll”, “Yoon” or “Britnat”, I am British, never waived a flag of any colour in my life .
I’ve a question–it’s a serious question.
How is it that really stupid people get to reign over us? I mean, REALLY! How the HELL does that happen?
FFS wake up, Scotland.
