Not only do they look alike,their manifestos are similar, cuts! cuts! cuts! cuts! unless you’re a millionaire.
Please please don’t do a Willie Rennie Johan Lamont face match, I don’t think I could bear that, or a Jackie Ballie Ruth Davidson face match, which is completely unthinkable.
The original post was amusing enough but there’s been several word plays and puns in the comments that really brought a smile to my face! Keep it up folks! 😀
The man’s name is, apparently, ‘Lino’. That’s why Cameron gave him something – otherwise he’d have been lying all over the kitchen, feeling all cut-up about it.
But it is true in a way. Both parties are trying to outright wing each other while trying to stay to the right of Ukip. They’ve become so homogenised, that the poor voter really does not have a clue as to who he can vote for. I suspect that in the next GE the likelihood of another hung parliament is very likely indeed.
Lino is no longer from Kirkcaldy. Apparently manufacturing moved abroad a bit like happened with jute in Dundee.
“This in turn contributed to linoleum in 1877 which became the town’s most successful industry and a world producer until well into the mid-1960s. The town expanded considerably in the 1950s and 1960s, though the decline of the linoleum industry and other manufacturing restricted its growth thereafter.”
“Employment in Dundee changed dramatically during the 1980s with the loss of nearly 10,000 manufacturing jobs due to closure of the shipyards, cessation of carpet manufacturing and the disappearance of the jute trade.”
O/T – But I’ve just seen on the BBC News site that the first of a monthly survey of tweets by Yes and No supporters by researchers at the University of Glasgow has been published. Unsurprisingly Yes supporting tweets were in the majority.
Even more interesting is the following:
“It’s interesting that in this particular snapshot ‘Yes’ has been more active and spontaneous,” he said.
“They use more tweets and hashtags, and have a bigger network of tweeters.
“‘No’ tweets are coming from the top down, and there is no real network amplifying the debate.”
Just when you think SLAB can’t sink any lower they pull out all the stops, and try to steal the food out of children’s mouths. How low can they go, then they have a argument about how to justify their treachery to kids and shift the blame onto totally innocent SNP MSP ‘s.
Kezia Dugdale sneering, double talking excuse for a human being.
Drew Smith typical SLAB waster, career “politician”
Johan Lamont lowest of the low Beneath contempt.
Allan Grogan watch your back brother, You have some very nasty enemies. They will stop at nothing to protect their gang.
Electoral Commission on the state broadcaster suggesting that changes should be made regards voting. They recommend that i.d. be produced at the point of voting a la N.I. and that political party members should not be allowed to handle postal voting forms. All a bit too late for our ” gold standard” referendum.
i fully expected Zimbabwe style ballot rigging from the British in the referendum as a minimum.
On full fiddling form SLAB make Putin’s mob look like lightweights.
So Jack McConnell thinks political campaigning should be suspended during The Commonwealth Games. what is it with politicians ?
Message to Jack, message to Jack It’s not your house and the lodgers have paid upfront, it’s our Referendum .
Bunter, it might too late for the Id bit but how would a petition signed by all the readers of Pro Indy sites, blogs, Facebook etc landing in the Electoral Commisions boxes, requesting that postal votes not be handled by political parties go down do you think? A neutral , secure place is surely doable given their is nine months to go. Afterall a by election can be arranged in less time and in the last Referendum, there appeared to be deid folk able to vote, they wouldn’t want legal challenges this time , would they?
Yes Molly , I noticed the Lord of Kilts comments and wondered – perhaps we should boo Scots entrants and support anyone but Scotland just in case a wee bit patriotic fervour overcomes us like a virus.
A Better Together spokesperson said the group had a “huge” presence online
Although Blair McDougall has said he is considering a diet after all the Xmas turkey.
The thing is Better Together is top down. Their most active posters are all Labour party activists, MSPs, MPs and councillors or complete oddities like Rosa or Rider (the latter claims to be a pro Yes peson but fools no one 😉 ) That is why they always complain about being swamped by the dreaded cybergnats. I am a member of no party and I don’t take my cues from any party line. This does give me a lot of freedom to take on the Grahamskis of this world
The Commonwealth games run from the middle of July through to the first week of August. That is 25% of the official 12 weeks of political campaigning in the run up to Sept 18th. I think Mconnell is on to plums there. Why on earth should the campaign stop because there are people running and jumping in sports stadiums. Is he worried that the sight of the Saltire going up flag poles will make people feel Scottish?
Get the Saltires flying. The Yes signs prominent. Get the Yes gear on, have a ball and let the rafters ring. Now is the time, now is the hour, it’s Scotland turn. Don’t let the opportunity be missed.
Never mind an unelected ermine rat or their squealing.

No real difference I suppose.
Oh that’s just wrong on many different levels. :0
@gordoz
Inspired. 😀
You missed out Lamont’s mouth, it can sneer for the best of them.
And I looked at this just before I went to bed !
Which side is his parting on though?
Some anagrams: a mandrill combine, mild con lamebrain, morel blind maniac, lime bridal conman
Let’s have more! Disaster / austerity recipes, like fruit sauce on carmichael mallow.

Ye dinnae git an MBE for a haircut like that. Then again I dinnae ken/maybe ye dae
DavEd Million?
Have to say, they’ve got Milliband’s better side, eh?, well, not sure, but probably.
Question is: which side would Margaret Curran fancy? (If he asks her, then she doesn’t get it right? she’s chucked.)
Blairstein’s monster!
The original post was amusing enough but there’s been several word plays and puns in the comments that really brought a smile to my face! Keep it up folks! 😀
Puts me in mind of Glenn Danzig for some reason. No idea why!
@gordoz
Wittiest comment “Blair Rich” still laughing, brilliant.
So that’s why Cameron’s barber got an MBE?
The man’s name is, apparently, ‘Lino’. That’s why Cameron gave him something – otherwise he’d have been lying all over the kitchen, feeling all cut-up about it.
@Ian Brotherhood <applauds> Do you do Functions? 🙂
@Gavin –
As a matter of fact, I do – please contact my agent, who is Blair MacDougall@knob.com
At last the face of better together squinty face ,but a like the kiss curl, like both of them Cameron / Millyband , DATED.
This would give children nightmares!! Should have some sort of over 18 rating on this picture!!
Please, everyone, ignore my last post (11.19). I tried to edit, but was too late.
It seems there really is, somewhere, for whatever reason, a ‘knob-com’. And for some, even more godless reason, the name McDougall chimes with it…
Please avoid.
Is “Lino” from Kirkcaldy?
It could have been worse. Naked with Maggie’s boobs.
Ian B , PMSL, is it wan of they nauty site,s Mc dougall set up.
But it is true in a way. Both parties are trying to outright wing each other while trying to stay to the right of Ukip. They’ve become so homogenised, that the poor voter really does not have a clue as to who he can vote for. I suspect that in the next GE the likelihood of another hung parliament is very likely indeed.
Labour, Tory, Tory, Labour hard to detect the difference these days throughout the Scottish Parliament.

News just in.
Lino is no longer from Kirkcaldy. Apparently manufacturing moved abroad a bit like happened with jute in Dundee.
“This in turn contributed to linoleum in 1877 which became the town’s most successful industry and a world producer until well into the mid-1960s. The town expanded considerably in the 1950s and 1960s, though the decline of the linoleum industry and other manufacturing restricted its growth thereafter.”
“Employment in Dundee changed dramatically during the 1980s with the loss of nearly 10,000 manufacturing jobs due to closure of the shipyards, cessation of carpet manufacturing and the disappearance of the jute trade.”
Jobs sent abroad to make the bottom line look good. Didn’t matter to these fuckers how it looked in their own towns and cities.
Food Banks No More.
O.T My FB seems to be working again. Maybe I just tried to make too many posts too quickly at the time.
I agree, Gordoz comment was chust sublime 🙂
This might make any nightmares worse!!

He’s a fine looking figure of fun.
I’m sure there’s a joke about a ‘Wild Linoleum Boy’ but I’m fekked if I can remember it.
@ John G absolutely terrifying they should warn children that the Lamontcher monster will get them if they don’t go to sleep when sent to bed.
I’ve seen that guy before in a film: “No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die.”

Allan Grogan watch your back brother, You have some very nasty enemies. They will stop at nothing to protect their gang.
I think that’s the first time I’ve seen Milliband on the left!
Not that it should be necessary of course but I and many others will be watching Allans back. Including you WoSSers
Amazing…can hardly see the join…
We’re ALL IN IT TOGETHER for the same gain. Never forget, tribalism? what’s that?
Ahh, the benign face of Britain’s fascist, sorry neo-liberal ‘One Nation’. Doesn’t it just bring a tear to your eye.
Death to Goldstein.
Pair of quarter-wits.
Is that one of the yet-to-be-announced English celebrities that’s going to lovebomb Scotland into voting ‘No’?
Ah, the LabServative one nation party leader, whats yours is ours and whats ours is also ours!

I wonder why they’re starting this now?

What a truly horrific image – now that’s what I call doubly ugly!
The most depressing thing for me is the fear that its actually Ed Milbands shirt and tie!
Cringed the other day when shown Houses of Parliament debate and it seemed that everyone on front benches all had a purple tie on!
Even more ironic that Milliband is on the right….
Looks like something out of a LABORaTORY. Geddit?
john lyons
long time no read or has this thing totally screwed up
John Lyons… Milliband is on the Left… it is only your right as you look at hi— IT! LOL 🙂
Loks like something out of a lavatory,
