Wings Over Scotland

Now there’s a thing – well, well, well!

Face. Palm.

How they forget the reach of WOS. I await developments with a fair bit of amusement.

Shades of Lally.

Stu, you can see right through them, can’t you 🙂

Seriously either the Daily Record is unbelievably incompetent on so many levels it is incomprehensible, or they are trying to set up an elaborate sting.

I’m gonna plumb for the first option.

Get me Dowdall!

NHS stunner

Fair play to you Rev. Let’s see how the Record downplay this one!

She certainly likes to put it out in the public eye. Likes cheap publicity. Outed once again. Page 3 Camera, video and lies.

‘Oh look it wisnae me’. The damned cheek of it.

I smelled a bear trap when the leaflet arrived and was pounced upon here.

Little did I realise that the people who would fall into the trap were the bears.

Oh, shit, did I just say that?

Does this mean The Record is going to have to issue another apology? I can’t keep up with this, man, where’s that popcorn when you need it.

I feel sorry for the poor girl. She has been used by SLAB for their political gains. The more they protest, the more Wings will find.

But to misquote Michael Rifkind, “I did nothing wrong, it was just an error of judgement”

A very big error it would seem and SLAB are making it worse for the poor girl.

You have just won a Crackerjack pencil and pen.

So her name isn’t Suzanne Hunter as Dugdale said fmqs?

@Meself –

Just noticed it’s a ‘Talent Agency’, so I take that back.

Well, if she is a nurse but not a nurse and isnt an actress but is an actress where did they get the uniform from for the non actress non nurse photo?

What a tangled web, oh dear,
At FMQs Dippitty Dug was bangin on about poor hard working Suzanne Duncan/Hunter
She’s obviously quite busy
It’s like a slow motion car crash unfolding before your eyes but you can’t stop watching
Oh Dear…

Keep awaw fae isolated west Highland singull-track roads!

Awe luk, thurr jist aboot tae toappull.

Very fine work Mr Campbell (doffs bunnet).

The DR is well acquainted with the All Talent Sonia Scott agency.

@Ian Brotherhood

Any fool can see those are just photoshopped snaps of Willie Rennie.

Ian my lunch is now on the floor,soon to be in the dog! But thanks for the laugh

Goodness, I just can’t keep up with this. Maybe I should just stick to thinking about cereal.

working for Sonia Scott Talent Agency doesn’t mean she’s not a nurse.

My partner is listed on Sonia Scott’s website too and only does acting/modelling in spare time.

I imagine it would be hard to do both with a full time job though.

It does mean the Record are lying by saying she isn’t an actress though.

@bookie

If this is the same person she could be both Hunter and Duncan. Actors often use “stage names” for various reasons.

One of the people who identified her as “Suzanne Duncan” was Craig Miller, a parliamentary assistant to Labour MSP Richard Simpson.

Kazia outed the nurse at FMQs at which Nicola Sturgeon was again on top form.

I do wish that Nicola always mentions that The Scottish Government’s discretionary budget is being cut by nearly 11% in real terms over the five year period to 2015-16, reflecting the UK Government’s plans, to make a total of £37bn of cuts across the UK in 2014-15 and 2015-16. The Chancellor also confirmed his intention to continue his austerity drive, backed by Labour at Westminster, until at least 2018-19.

Probably just one of the cast of McTernan’s new blockbuster Carry On Up the River Without a Clue.

Dear oh dear, they’ll need to deliver a crash cart round to the Daily Retread’s offices to resuscitate Murray Foote and Torquil Crichton.

Where’s an actress when you need one

There will be an apology issued any minute now, yeah just about now…

Hmmm. Don’t think this is the same girl, though. The “nurse” in the leaflets has a mole under her right eye and another on the left side of her neck. Can’t see either on the actress’s profile pics.

I’m sure it is a coincidence as well that Ms Suzanne Hunter on Facebook (friends with Dr Simpson’s assistant Craig Miller) just happens to have a remarkably similar tattoo in a remarkably similar place to the actress above….

I used to scoff at the idea that politicians and journalists were treating the public like idiots but this puts it beyond dispute. Or maybe I’m just paranoid from following Wings for so many months…. yeah … right.

Labour and the Record are willing to damage a nurse’s career for cheap political shots. That shouldn’t surprise us.

Let’s not lose sight of that leaflet which Labour thought appropriate to put through a great many letterboxes. Is that the best they can come up with?

Firstly, this is a WM general election, next year is Holyrood when the NHSS should be an issue for discussion.

Secondly, Labour claim it’s about protecting NHSS. The guaranteed way to protect it would be to ensure the source of funding was secured through Scotland having FFA. Labour oppose anything like this!

Thirdly, they suggest increased spending. As always, with Labour, exactly where does this money come from? The Scottish Government is on a fixed budget and balance the books. What would Labour running Holyrood (heaven forbid) cut back to provide the extra health spending?

I return to my initial point about the leaflet, is that all Labour can come up with!?

That now exposed ear does look very similar doesn’t it?

The thing that made me think it was not her was the hairline and upper eyelids, but looking at it now, if her hair was pulled tightly back somehow, maybe that could raise her hair line and lift those upper eye areas, effectively a kind of temporary face lift.

The cheekbone structure is quite distinctive and very similar in both.

Sore jaws and streaming tears.

You evil Cybernat!!! How dare you persecute this innocent HARD-WORKING (two jobs, at least) actress / nurse / housewife / totally non-political paramour of a totally non-political Labour MSP’s non-political parliamentary assistant.

I don’t know or care who she is or what she believes, but the fact the Labour Party used her image emblazoned with an NHS logo was wrong on at least three counts I can think of, and there is nothing the faltering Daily Record can say or do to make that otherwise. And according to the recent metrics you published, WOS probably now has a greater reach and influence than the tattered rag at the fag end of its commerical life.

@ Macart

Thank you for the kind reassuring words.

So, if I am a giant racoon, what does that make Jim Murphy?

I had just finished cleaning the keyboard when I reached the post below and had to start again!
Thanks Ian

Honestly Stu,bravo.
I did not expect to log-on and see this after the furore yesterday.
Brilliant,i take you broke out into a big cheesy grin like i did when you saw it?

Just popped through my letterbox
an A3 folded Labour sheet of lying electioneering.

” A Plan to protect our NHS”
Suzanne is in it, now joined by Pauline from Lenzie,
pictured with her three kids.

Inside we find
” Breaking News: SNP’s A&E Crisis”
Thousand of Scots forced to wait
for more than four hrs to see a doctor.
The a big map of Scotland showing where
the numbers waiting more than four hours are detailed.

The leaflet is promoted by Brian Roy(SLAB Chairman)
and printed by Anton Group EssexS S15 6TR

This is ‘The McTernan Plan’ to win the Propaganda War.
Labour will save our crisis ridden NHS for YOU.

SNP can’t do A&E management. They are useless.
Vote Labour and we’ll sort it. Only Scottish Labour has a plan.
.

Let’s face it, this is a no brainer.

Every day, hospitals are busy, health centres are busy,
GP practices are busy,
clinics of every description are busy,
pharmacies are busy.

Every day, people are using prescription medicines and various treatments.
More so the elderly.
Every day accidents happen which require medical attention of some description.
Most of the population uses the NHS at least some of the time.

If you were John McTernan, what is in this leaflet
is what you or I would do,
if we were in the dire situation that SLAB is in.

This dire situation for Labour is McTernan’s speciality.
He’s a bare knuckle street fighter
who will punch, kick and gouge his way to a result.

This is the referendum Campaign all over again.

Frighten people – this time everyone who uses the NHS, about 85% of the population.

‘Scare the elderly, Mothers with children, the chronic sick and disabled’, McTernan says in his communication centre to his team.
‘Get on the phones’, he will tell them, ‘and call the Press – I’ll speak to John Boothman myself at BBC’.

‘We’re going to scare the Scottish population shitless
till they’re so scared, they will be gagging to vote Labour
and at the same time screw those bastards the SNP who we love to hate.’

This how the propaganda war is conducted.

Just watch Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker
in “The Thick of It” if you have’nt already done so.
You’ll get the idea pretty quickly.
Warning – it’s full of expletives.

It’s a game in which the McTernans of this world
seek to create perceptions in the minds of millions
of people, the voters;
perceptions which will result
in the
electorate doing exactly
what John McTernan commands them to do.
This is the POWER TO COMMAND OBEDIENCE
at the polling station.
Forget the details on Labours flyers
and in the Press and on TV.
All you’ll find there is lies and fiction.

This is not about politics – which is done by politicians.

No, this is a PROPAGANDA WAR,
conducted by political PR hatchet men like John McTernan.

@PandaPops

“I think Jim Murphy has to resign.”

Would make for an interesting Friday.

I think she is the granddaughter of Pat Lally

Mark: The “nurse” in the leaflets has a mole under her right eye and another on…

See my post at 1.47pm – observations made by the practised eye of casting for theatre 20 years, movies just over 10 years.

As a photograph reproduced onto a flier, photographed again and transferred onto a computer, reinterpreted again by our individual computers and iPads degrades and distorts – one can’t be 100% certain – but the similarities are remarkable.

“Anything could happen in the next half hour” – that’s Stingray. Troy Tempest will have your guts for garters 🙂

I’m Suzanne too.

O/T

more comedy…

link to rt.com

I say, those surgical gowns are getting rather skimpy. Wait. What?

I don’t know if she was working as a nurse or an actress or whatever.

But it was EXTREMELY foolish to be used for Labour propaganda with the official uniform.

NHS Scotland is supposed to be impartial.
She can represent herself, but NOT the NHS.

This whole saga makes it look like Forth Valley Hospital is campaigning for Labour.

Plenty of staff there are just as sickened with the red Tories as the rest of Scotland.

Breaking news:

Trinity Group Newspapers have just announced that their Scottish Flagship Title formerly known as the Daily Record will now be titled the Daily Apology.

Unconfirmed sources state the reason for the name change as being ‘easier to achieve than keeping track of all the & misrepresentations printed under the current name. Rather than printing retractions every day it is easier to cover all under one global apology.

So Suzanne Duncan is her actors union name,i guess?
I had a mate whose name was already taken on the actors union and he had to change it to register.

Whilst all this is entertaining (and it is entertaining) let’s not be side tracked too much by Suzanne. The real issue and the important issue is the duplicity of the Labour Party machine and the Record.

NMC code:

21 Uphold your position as a registered nurse or midwife

To achieve this, you must:

21.5 never use your professional status to promote causes that are not related to health, and

21.6 cooperate with the media only when it is appropriate to do so, and then always protecting the confidentiality and dignity of people receiving treatment or care.

It would seem that Suzanne is in breach of the NMC code on two accounts.

Underneath the lamplight at the hospital gates

there a woman in a nurses uniform awaits

Paula Rose whit ur you playin at,bringing discredit on your uniform.

And the moral of this story, dont prostitute yourself for the Political gain of others.

Rev unleash the crowdfunder appeal.

BBC reporting Scotland will have an item about the NHS tonight .

under orders from Shadows Mcternan

“Did Kezia really raise this at FMQ? Now that is funny.”

She really did. Just shows how out of touch the top Party brass are (including the SNP) since NS wasn’t aware of the story either OR she decided to ignore it. The ‘nursie’ saga was obviously planned as a BIG campaign for LAB. But Wings has now spiked it before it got really started. That’s why they are hopping mad about Wings’ pieces.

Labour’s election strategy appears to be:

1) Say there is a “waiting time crisis” in the Scottish NHS.
2) Tell people that only Labour can fix it.

There are two problems with this.

1) There is no waiting time crisis in the Scottish NHS.
2) Labour control the NHS in Wales, where waiting times are much worse than they are in Scotland.

And remember, Labour have already been caught lying about the actual NHS figures.

Another winner, then.

I wonder how many more people are now aware of the Record’s massive LIE to their readers, and their forced apology because of this site.

Trying to deceive Scots that the Smith Commission powers would result in a massive windfall.

Oh sorry folks, turns out we got it wrong by £20 BILLION.
No worries, move along now..

Sometimes distraction tactics backfire !!

DKK: I don’t care whether she’s a Red or Blue Tory,or the BNP, I think I’m in love!!

Still chuckling … 🙂

Stu

It might be worth having a short term sticky at the top of the site for Record readers linking them to the article showing the ruling against the Record…perhaps with the title “Saw on us the Record…this is why they hate us” or something else

Just a thought

Tell you what folks-I like this kind of thread. 158 comments in 2 1/2 hours. That really is some going 🙂

Was it the Two Ronnies who once did a skit about the filming of a soft-porn movie called NIGHT NURSE? These tawdry pictures remind me of the skit, because the “film” was deliberately a Z-movie, the sort of thing schoolboys would make. Why does SLAB insist on trawling such low depths? Not because they don’t have any concrete policies or principles, I hope?

Did not members of the Labour party make serious accusations of Wings bullying and an assortment of other vile things ”to a poor wee nurse”.

Rev Stu obviously is wings. So as the Rev didn’t do any of the things Labour were spouting, would he have a case for libel against these people?

Stew,
One thing that would identify who is who, is the fact that the actress has a tattoo at her left armpit, let’s see both suspects right armpits, any ideas on how folks?.
