“Here’s a test: Close your eyes and picture the famous black door of Ten Downing Street.

Now imagine Jim Murphy standing there.”
That is some pretty galling and all too obvious grooming of Murphy for an even higher ranked leadership position. Pretty sad to see STV kotow so eagerly towards an arch-Blairite that stands firmly on the right.

Words are cheap and Jim Murphy’s past and current support of organisations like the Henry Jackson society really don’t support the notion that anything has changed with regards to his views.
well, that made me laugh so loudly my young adults (apparently they are NOT kids)came through to see if I was OK! Death in Vegas had driven them out of the playroom…
We keep hearing about a grand coalition Would that not make SNP the official opposition which would be worse for the Unionists. As Cameron would be minced by Salmond every weds at PMQs
For some time now I have been wondering, If we’re all Jock Thompson’s bairns, what happened with Murphy. You have given me the answer.
I am finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with his contradictionery announcements partly as when he speaks my btain shuts down. Was it I’m Robin Hood and I’m going to take from the English and give to the Scottish poor. Who would have thought that he was a robber and who in their right mind would trust a robber.
If that was what Scotland needed we could have imported one from Westmonster.
The Red Tories are so toxic that Labour MPs are now sending out leaflets saying vote for the person not the Party. And none will feature Ed Miliband in their leaflets.
Murphy and his spin doctors have lost the plot by promising in his speech this afternoon that 18 year olds will get £1600 in cash towards Driving Lessons if they don’t go to University.
To my mind, Murphy is even more unsuited to being PM than Ed Miliband. I don’t disagree that there are those who don’t like Ed Miliband (and I saw no evidence during the indyref that he could relate to ordinary people) but I think there are a good many Labour politicians kidding themselves on (and trying to kid us on too?) that his presence at the top is the only thing standing between them and victory.
I can only assume STV somehow thinks Jim Murphy is leadership material. I don’t see it, he is merely unconvincing at best and an outright charlatan at worst.
Seriously folks if Labour were so keen on “Labour Values” they would have implemented them years ago. In 1979 Jim Callaghan ,as he describes in his biography,was defeated by his own back benchers and so his Labour backbenchers ushered in Thatcherism and defeated poor Jim’s wish for Labour Values.
Even more recently in 1997 Labour Values could have been introduced but New Labour…Aye Jim Murphy’s New Labour turned right and also killed more Johny Foreigners than Genghis Khan.
Sorry folks I prefer the wee lassie,so despised of Mr Hamilton MP. She will lead us out of the Red Tory hell of Jim Murphy and use all the power that can be gained by having more SNP MP’s to protect Scotland’s future.
Yes, they do appear to think that brushing Ed Miliband out of the picture is the cure-all. It is my view that this is foolish because Ed isn’t any worse than any of the rest of them and voters can see through it as the attempt to pretend Murphy isn’t just in charge of the branch office that it is.
In fact, if Ed Balls was leader they would probably be demanding he stayed away for much the same reason.
Predator, what an 80s classic. Arnie’s best movie. Still stands up today, forget about all the ‘requiem’ pish. Love when he goes ‘native’ and baits the predator 🙂
Some of the bets offered via this site are wonderful.
And some of the prices, right now, are telling a big big story.
For example, ‘Will Danny Alexander still be an MP after the GE?’
If you think not, and want to stick your money where your mouth is? you won’t get much back – you’d have to wager £12 just to ‘win’ one pound. (Unless I’m misreading it horribly.) If, on t’other hand, you reckon The Man With No Neck is going back to Westminster in May, and you’re proved right? You’ll get back six quid for every one you placed on that happy outcome.
Don’t know about anyone else, but on the morning of May 8th I ain’t staying up all night. No chance. I’ll be hitting the sack as soon as I’ve seen that prick hoofed out.
Ed to Murphy: ” Stay strong Jim and remember,there will still be more Scottish Labour MPs than pandas. We had the female sterilised, and London have requested the other is extradited back to China. Well we couldn’t have these cybernats boasting again.”
Harsh (but not do much that they didn’t earn it) $, Sigourney & hitherto undiscovered planets are working up a Daily Record Anti Wings front page as we speak.
Actually, the top picture reminds me of pictures of Ed Miliband confronting and trying to “enjoy” a bacon butty.
According to Wikipedia, he has no religion but considering that both his parents are/were Jewish (though I have no idea how practicing they were), I don’t think pork products would’ve been on the Miliband family shopping list when he was growing up.
But what wouldn’t he do to appeal to the “common man in the street”, even try (unsuccessfully) to overcome his aversion to pork.
I’d respect the man more if he’d been honest and asked for a beef sandwich instead.
But that’s New Labour for you. Trying to be all things to all people but actually a mishmash of incoherent increasingly right-wing policy soundbites in a desperate bid for power for power’s sake, no honesty, no integrity, no principles.
The late great Hans Giger was arguably the finest artist of the last 50 years or so.
His work is commonly described as bio-mechanical but would more accurately be described as bio-alien.
His design ethos forms the basis of the Alien movie series and several computer games.
Like other surrealists before him, he sought to shock by juxtapositioning conflicting concepts.
In my opinion, in his case, his main idea was to bring both beauty and ugliness into conceptual conflict on the same canvas.
Sometimes the ugly part was provided by use of mechanical imagery but mostly it was with ‘alien’ imagery.
But he was clearly also interested in exploring the cross-over point between beauty and ugliness. This, almost inevitably, involved the sexual act, in great detail.
His work is therefore often disturbing. However, within it you may discover some of the most coldly beautiful imagery, especially of the female face, ever depicted.
Sadly, the sex thing is I fear, likely to obscure and prevent appreciation of this for some time, perhaps forever.
And yes, there are, more humanoid, male faces which bear a much closer resemblance to Jim Murphy than his full-blown alien, Whether his Alien was an extrapolation from that type of face or not must, however, remain a matter of conjecture.
P.S. Do not look up the work of H R Giger if you are easily effected by sexual imagery.
I think they look more like the two angry old men who sat in the balcony on the Muppets Show. Or there is someone else Murphy reminds me of, it will come to me, I get the feeling it is something Faustian, someone who signed a pact with the devil…
But, honestly, I think Jim Murphy is not looking well. I am not sure if it is because of his vegetarianism, but sometimes when you see pictures of someone you get an impression even from the screen that they are not healthy.
I must protest! This hardly seems at all fair to either of them! Firstly the monster from Alien killed about a dozen people!! Creepy Jim’s votes for war in Iraq and Afghanistan killed about 200,000 people, and he didn’t even break a sweat! And as for Mr Millibland, well the character of Ripley is imtelligent, strong, sassy, sexy, tough and a survivor, Milliband just isn’t…
You cant have it both ways Rev, you’ve just attacked the gutter personal appearance politics of Hamilton but your constantly making comments about Murphy’s appearance
They were singing an old Harry Lauder song, now the new Labour anthem;
Aye! wer’e aw awa tae bide away, Aye were aw awa tae leave ye,
Aye! we’re aw awa tae bide awa, and nee’r come back an see ye!!
It looks like a stills shot from the filming of Labour does Queer as Folk as the sachet of lube bust prematurely in Ed’s pocket as Jim tries to.. well erm.. (I best check with my lawyer 1st before I say anything else..)
I spotted that at the time,Murphy tried to get in for a big hug and pat on the back, ED was not having it, the whole body language and eye contact throughout the whole time was bad.

Cheers Rev…..I needed a laugh….
But which one is the Alien ???
EPIC! I literally fell out of the chair laughing at that one – and the body language is indeed very telling.
Scotland, can you hear me , Scotland?
Labour, an alien presence in Scotland.
ET Go home?
I’m not sure what the second picture is – possibly “Alien” or some horror thingy, anyway, but that first one is quite scary.
But what a lovely team they are. Murphy and Milli. Used to be quite funny. Or was that Mork and Mindy?
I thought Murphy was the cyborg from Aliens? I am confused now!
Now… kiss!
Et tu brute.
Bit unfair on the xenomorph but yes 🙂
Shape shifter right enough Rev, I think he is whispering We have the postal vote in our pockets…..
When I saw the headline I thought you were talking about a certain pop star Rev Stu. Better not go down that route yet eh…
Murphy of course briefed against Miliband, as he did to Lamont, and no doubt countless others.
I think you should do a caption comp.

Now , that is unfair the alien was very loyal to it family
Shit, you mean it keeps coming back? Nooooo!
Ed Miliband is the alien and here is the proof. No human could act like this, the game is up.

…and Ed Balls hisses from behind a curtain at Jim…
“get away from her, you bitch!”
well, that made me laugh so loudly my young adults (apparently they are NOT kids)came through to see if I was OK! Death in Vegas had driven them out of the playroom…
Miliband looks as if he’s being attacked by Tutankhamun.
Get aff me ya skinny bastard!

Haha nicely done Rev, that girl is terrified.
Have to agree with Mr Stirling above, saying the Aliens where loyal to family. My absolute fav line is when Ripley says:
“You don’t see them fucking each over for a percentage”
Something the Slabbers never took on.

So that means there’s another alein incubating inside ed milliband? Thanks for the nightmares!
Not the most fortunate of photographs
🙂
Brilliant and spot on, even tje wife giggled.

So the alien must be one of the figures in the top picture.
Rev, you’ve repeated the first picture in error.
Right.
In SPACE…..NO-ONE can hear you FART. (even through a loud-hailer)
Kick them both out the airlock by voting SNP and then nuke them from orbit.
Jim Murphy (bit creepy) should be having a word with him.If he is in charge.
So that’s why Jim was giving Ed the slow handclap after his speech. He knew what was coming next!
Ed: ‘So sorry Jim, quite forgot I had that egg in my hand.’
You cant have it both ways Rev, you’ve just attacked the gutter personal appearance politics of Hamilton but your constantly making comments about Murphy’s appearance

The Rev didn’t comment on either man’s appearance.
There are two photographs and the reader is left to their own imagination and comment if they wish.
Ed, your left one is smaller than your right one!
Ed says, sorry Jim I’m taking the lead in this dance to the bottom, of course you know the lady’s steps, remember not to stand on my feet this time.
They were singing an old Harry Lauder song, now the new Labour anthem;
Aye! wer’e aw awa tae bide away, Aye were aw awa tae leave ye,
Aye! we’re aw awa tae bide awa, and nee’r come back an see ye!!
BOTH: “Right, you better not fuck this up.”
It looks like a stills shot from the filming of Labour does Queer as Folk as the sachet of lube bust prematurely in Ed’s pocket as Jim tries to.. well erm.. (I best check with my lawyer 1st before I say anything else..)
..or is that just me?
I spotted that at the time,Murphy tried to get in for a big hug and pat on the back, ED was not having it, the whole body language and eye contact throughout the whole time was bad.
ED don’t like him…..lol
Murphy looks like a living version of the Egyptian mummy Amenhotep 11.
“Love means never having to say you’re Tory.”
That picture at the top of this threads article looks a lot like ‘Milly and Silly’ are having a wee dance to Milli Vanilli’ Girl I’m Gonna Miss You.
