Fair point – and the men may well wear the same suits day in day out.
 
It is still kind of funny though. Actually that suits Johann better than some of the stuff she wears, she should have a chat with Ruth.

it is a bit embarrassing for them both, but I’d rather not discuss what the women MSPs are wearing or their hairstyles. everydaysexism – they are politicians.  Now back to the Italy v Spain footie match.

Not the most thoughtful article you have posted, Rev.
I had a day dream today. Johann suddenly shouted, ‘fuck this, I can’t do it anymore’!
She then said that the promise of a big backhander wasn’t enough. She couldn’t live with the voices in her head telling her she was sending her people into hell. Her backbenchers then stood up as one and applauded her.
Yes won by 90% to 10%.;
OK, i’ll put the malt back down.

Is this the ‘real world’ Johann Lamont is always talking about?
 
Don`t like it.

What actually happened Ruthie turned up in her undies Just to make a point you see, the presiding officer said she would not be allowed to ask her question as it was televised before the watershed So Yoohan being the generous person that she is said after she had asked her questions she would quickly strip off and lend Ruth her outfit That’s why we didn’t see Yoohan again after her questions

Davy

Yah dunderheads, theres a mile of difference between the outfits, just look closely !!! see, one is buttoned and one is not.
Of course the fact that Lamont was in the middle of making an airse of her arguments against AS, has nothing to do with being buttoned or not, but just don’t tell her that.
 
Vote NO – and wear pissoff pink.
 
Vote YES – and chose your own colour.

The poking fun isn’t sexism, but the perception that the female politicians’ area of expertise is ‘getting dressed’ just might be.

sneddon

Call me paranoid but it seems that both sets of their respective backbenchers set them up because as far as I’m aware that’s one of the things their advisors a meant to look out for (same attire) as well as e.g. snottors, unzipped flies etc.  I still feel with Jo that we’re seeing the longest mental meltdown in politics, just something about her whole body language, voice and lack of engagement outside the ‘safe zone’.

Tris

I’m not sure I understand people who get in a tiz about the fact that someone comments on what women are wearing, whilst no one bothers with what men are wearing. 
For as long as I can remember people have made a big deal of what women wear, because virtually no matter the occasion, women can choose to express their personality though their clothes.
At least in formal situations, even to this day, men are not allowed to do that. Indeed, I believe that in the London parliament an male MP was recently told to leave the chamber by little Mr Speaker, because he was not wearing a tie, on the same day that several women were dressed  like they were going to a party, and others looked like they were off to do a day’s washing.
The newspapers always report what the queen wears; and only mention what her husband is wearing if it is one of the many uniforms of admirals, generals or whatever, that he seems to have in his collection.
When women in parliament are told to wear dark suits and white shirts with a scarf around their neck, that’s the day that we can get all feminist about people commenting on their appearance, without seeming rather petty.

it is a bit embarrassing for them both, but I’d rather not discuss what the women MSPs are wearing or their hairstyles. everydaysexism – they are politicians.  Now back to the Italy v Spain footie match.
 
At the risk of spoiling the joke, it isn’t so much because two women MSPs turned up in the same ensemble, so much as the idea that two politicians supposedly at opposing sides of the political spectrum happen to have more in common than just their policies.
 
After all, Rev has covered male MP’s fashion on the site, too:

Not only do they both talk s**t, now they dress and look like it

Shinty

Seriously, two party leaders turn up on FMQ’s (knowing it’s broadcast for everyone to see)wearing the same outfit – you’d think one of them would have had savvy to have swapped jackets for the occasion with one of their own party even if it was just for appearance. I would expect the same common sense if it were two male party leaders wearing the same tie.
 
Perhaps they were just confirming their solidarity of Better Together – no matter how embarrassing it looks.

Krackerman

ianbrotherhood – you just took that way too far for my fragile mind… brrrrrr is there a mental equivalent of domestos?

Stevie

To be fair, all this talk of dinner table sexism is PC bllx.  That said, if one watched the Labour party over the Blair years, the men went from wearing red ties to blue ties, so much so that the Tories often wore reddish ties and Labour (Brown, Blair et al.) eventually ended up sometimes wearing ultraviolet blue ties. 

The dress sense is not an accident so much as it is a synchronisity of thought – RED TORY BLUE TORY – NOW PINK TORY

One is constantly amazed by Ruffie and J-Low at their capacity for plunging ever deeper the depths of insult, attack, libel and general ugliness of tone of voice and behaviour as well as the vile subject matter they choose.

ianbrotherhood

 
@Krackerman-
 
‘…is there a mental equivalent of domestos?’
 
I’m sorry pal – have already tried…there isn’t.
 
Those images will be seared into your mind until the End of Time, if not longer.

Vronsky

Jeez, none of you understand women. 
 
This was a cunning Unionist ploy to counter vicious separatist rumour-mongering that Labour and Tory are just different arses with the same cheek (to coin a phrase).  It has been established with mathematical rigour that no two women, knowing that they will be appearing together in a public place, will ever wear the same thing, not even the delicious underbits you’re not allowed to see until later (I learned all this in honours level Group Theory).
 
The Rev’s images are proof positive that there is no collusion between Labour and Tory. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.  The isomorphism is entirely in your mind.
 
Hic.  Talking maths is not a good sign.  No more wine for me. 

Jamie Arriere

Willie Rennie gets his shot of it next week……though I think he looks more like a size 10…Eck might be ducking the pinging buttons!

Jiggsbro

you’d think one of them would have had savvy to have swapped jackets for the occasion with one of their own party even if it was just for appearance
 
But that would have required one of them – the one who changed – to acknowledge a lower status than the other. Never going to happen. Also never going to happen was the two of them getting together and both agreeing to change their jackets, so no one lost face. Just two hard-headed politicians who’d rather look a little foolish than give ground or cooperate to find a sensible solution.

Les Wilson

Ron Burgundy

Clothing apart which was a delicious irony. SLAB advisors to Lamont will have been more appalled by the personal apocalypse she suffered at the hands of the FM. She has performed some horror shows in TV studios in the past but this was embarrassing no it was self harm in a public place.
The only possible explanation is that Lamont is a YES Scotland deep penetration agent within SLAB. Her control needs to readjust her cover to avoid conclusions like this being drawn. I feel certain she will emerge from cover at Yes Scotland HQ like Kim Philby in Moscow to spontaneous stormy applause on the pantheon of Independence heroes on September the 15th 2014

The English used to do self satire quite well.  Please  pay homage to the lost art of self awareness: Flanders and Swann. 

They were joking, but nowadays there are many in the lower latitudes who would think it all quite serious commentary.  Michael and Donald, god rest them both, could never have imagined that what they had invented as absurd humour would one day become a political manifesto for the people they hated.

Great news,
Englands going to be rich beyond it’s wildest dreams!
It turns out there is more oil under Mrs Mountjoy’s Band B in Blackpool than in the whole north sea oh what a coincidence eh?
the next Daily Mail headline’ll be gettaefuyabassas
it gets better,
there’s SO MUCH  of the stuff they’re going to give the communities affected by the frackers (I didnt make it up honest) a windfall payment!
I wonder when we’re getting ours?
after 40 years its bound to be massive
then in the same breath warn (wooooooo here comes the warning), by 2015 the lights will start to go out because of a lack of power stations,
right let me get this right,
so England,s sitting on a huge amount of shale oil which will make north sea oil look like small beer, so our reward is not to share in the bonanza by getting whats already on offer to Lancashire and Yorkshire by means of windfall payments, we’ve (to my knowledge) seen the grand sum of bugger all from the north sea apart from Maggie quite serendipitously being able to afford the dole money when she shut anything that looked remotely industrial in Scotland,
and although we have a surplus of energy output we get the warm fuzzy glow of togetherness while we share a walk down memory lane with our English brethren as we remember what cooking without electricity was like and doing it by candlelight under the great Ted Heath when he rationed power usage to blacken (ahem) the striking miners who’s only crime was to ask for parity in earnings with equivalent industries as at that time they were grossly underpaid,
this he did in spite of coal stocks being at a historical high and could have gone for 8 months without fear of running out creating REAL  power shortages instead of political ones that strike
btw lasted only from 07/01/02 to 28/02/02
 
my dad worked all his life in the mines and died from pneumoconiosis 
thanks Mr Heath for giving my father the dignity of a decent wage for his efforts NOT, up till 1972 my father had not struck once in all his life and he was a good union man  , so much for the demonisation of the miners,
the re writing of history by the tories leaves me with a cold anger which 50 years later has not dimmed.

I did not notice what these two women were wearing but I did listen. One continued her relentless faux attack on a politician who refreshingly does put Scotland first and the other trying desperately to sound responsible to cancel our memory of her earlier follies. Neither in pink nor Josephic multicolour does either give a damn about we the peoples of Scotland!

Better a bunch of limp-wristed ponces (who may or may not wear pink) than a bunch of hand wringing dinosaurs stuck in the dark ages (many of whom secretly might want to wear pink.)
 
No idea on what grounds it is ridiculous, I imagine its subjective. To have it any other way to me is ridiculous, as is the notion that if you’re a homosexual – you must automatically like the colour pink.

CameronB

Clash of the Titans?
I look at this as a sign that the cross-party cooperation to save the union, is not sufficiently strong enough to override the personal fashion statements of the unionist party leaders. It appears neither of them was prepared to change jacket. Of course, to do so would have been an immediate submission of one to the other. It would be hilarious if these two Titans did not mean to do so much harm to Scotland.

@ pa_broon74
I hadn’t actually read today’s comments before I posted, so the reference to pink and Ek was purely coincidental. You are correct of course re. the jackets being puce not pink, but I still don’t think Ek has the complexion to carry off what is a relatively subtle shift in tone. A bit like Labour and Tory policies, if you think about it. 🙂

Yes, thon Telegraph story was very much a brown news story. Seems, mostly to be a chance for certain cretins to come out and insult Scotland, it`s First Minister and it`s electorate.
 
Still, it makes me angry.

Adrian B

The whole reason to threaten to “shut down the North Sea” is to focus Spain’s politicians minds on what they could lose if they did not support Scotland gaining entry into the EU as an Independent country.
The backlash that they could face in Spain if they decided to be difficult regarding Scotland’s EU entry is not in Spain’s interests.

raineach

2 things come to mind from following this thread.
1. The ‘threat’ to close Scottish waters as part of negotiations shows that with Independence Scotland can, using the powers of a state, properly advance the interests of Scotland and justifies our voting ‘Yes’
2. The No remark apropos Asterix [just the kind of boost] was in fact an almost successful attempt to use humour by the No campaign. I quite liked it. Really, they should try that more often. It made them seem almost human

I love the colour, and it looks good on J-La, better than the Tory blue she often wears. Looks good on Ruthie as well. I once had very sexy, tight pedal pusher trousers in exactly that colour. I wore them to work with a snappy little navy blazer and kitten heels.
 
Female politicians are allowed to experiment with colour, scarves, whatever, more that male politicians, which is a bit unfair.
 
Still, I find it enormously funny that the opposition leaders were “clothes twins”. Like 12-year-old best friends girls might be. 😀
