Yet more blackouts

This is hereditary Westminster Labour MP Anas Sarwar in yesterday’s Evening Times:
Hang on – “rallies”? Were we watching the wrong channel when we missed the tens of thousands of people packing the streets for the Great Rally Of The Union? Were we passed out in a cupboard for the whole time when the Anas Sarwar Evangelical Roadshow filled football stadia in every corner of the land with crazed disciples waving Union Jacks and chanting “POOL AND SHARE! POOL AND SHARE!”?
Rallies? What on Earth is the truth-averse wee twerp talking about? We need a doctor.
That’s were he was when he wasn’t in Westminster voting against the Bedroom Tax – doh !
He’s got to be lying, surely?
He’s being sneakier than you give him credit for – he says they ‘obviously haven’t been at the rallies he has’, because he means that he went to see rally car racing, bike rallies, etc, and just spoke to no one. Or he’s been playing a lot of driving games on his Playstation.
Ergo, “obviously” none of them were there – just perplexed rallygoers occasionally wondering what he was on about before watching the cars/bikes/etc. Almost as simple as becoming an MP if your dad held the seat before you, really!
I for one hope he has plenty of time to play driving games and go watch some racing by 2016 without having to show up for work at Westminste… Oh, hang on, he already has plenty of time right now.
Westminster is one massive
rally…Sorry…Rabble…my bad…He must think a meeting in a phone box constitutes a rally!
It’s getting tedious to keep repeating this, but in case voters don’t remember, Labour had 13 years complete in control of Westminster and didn’t do the things they claim they will do now, if only we will vote No.
Has he tried selling this sharing and pooling in the SE of England or in the boardrooms of the dealing banks and finacial institutions? No.
He should go there first, and report back how it worked out.
“He’s got to be lying, surely?”
I am reliably informed that his lips were moving at the time.
One day or night he will follow his dad
I suspect Mr Sarwar is being a little supportive of his liberal Democratic and Conservative friends; remember they can hold a party rally in a phone box!
Maybe he means this?

Plenty of passion for the union there.
Anus Sanwar.
The same man that said he would abolish the bedroom tax, then abstained the vote?
Being called a liar?
Surely not!
He tells lies.
I think he meant rammy
“He’s got to be lying, surely?”
Perhaps SLabour’s ‘Truth Team’ could answer that one.
Heres a link for you:
link to eveningtimes.co.uk
Please give the air head something to think about.
“Heres a link for you:”
Um, that’s actually the article the post links to.
Not comfortable with wrestling the truth to the ground, he’s now kicking reality in the crotch… this guy needs to go, or MSM needs to get on his back.
But as someone said before and on Facebook … he’ll be meaning the Orange Walks.
Maybe he meant a raleigh, I did see a couple o auld bikes parked nearby.
He obviously meant “rammies”
This pool and share stuff,I keep hearing it from the north britons,but not from any english based mps. Maybe I’ve just missed it. What it really means is “We have money and we want yours too,thanks!”
Actually, for once, laughed out loud at that!
Yes in 2014. Yes in 2016. Yes as long as it takes
To be rid of, or at least to marginalize, these ‘Proud Scots’
Albert Herring
Nice one beat me to it.
Albert Herring… that was the very first thing that jumped into my head. You beat me to the posting of the video. LOL.
Haha Dave. LOL
The post links to an archived copy, I think TheKnome is suggesting people leave comments on the actual newspaper’s site. For all the good it will do 🙂
The only rally I can think of, was the London Olympics, intro for the athletes.
Plenty of Union Flags flying then!
Sarwar should name three of the rally there location, speakers and numbers attending. Bet the police were excelent in there croud control. I think 5 is the definition of a crowd.do know the definition of a rally. Sarwar will know he has been to a nuber ehhhhhhhhhhhh well some ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Those in England will think he is talking the truth. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Here’s Johann saying she will share a platform with David Cameron to campaign for the Union. Will there be a rally? Will Anas be there?
link to itv.com
After all, it’s not like Yes can get more than a handful of people together in one place at the same time. link to m.youtube.com
Pool and share, pool and share, maybe he’s campaigning to share swimming pools across the UK.
I just realised something the other day.
We all know that he missed the Bedroom Tax vote because he was off visiting daddy in Pakistan, but who remembers the programme BBC Scotland made about his dad ? This is what he was doing, filming with the BBC doing a free promotional piece on the Sarwar family – nothing particularly political/humanitarian or anything that could be deemed as valuable to his constituents.
The man’s an utter joke.
These Better Together rallies have been happening all over Scotland, but the bias media haven’t been reporting them 🙂
My son was at the ‘rally’ in Clydebank where the ‘working class’ rode Sarwar like a Blackpool donkey and Sarwar left in one hell of a bad mood. Is that the one he meant? Linda Fabiani and Eddie Reader did have a wee chuckle when my son offered Sarwar a copy of the Yes newspaper.
What’s really interesting about that (apart from the stadium status of Lochgelly town hall)
is the shift to the idea that actual Labour voters may be shifting their thoughts where previously any such idea was unthinkable.
PS line brake and paragraph tags don’t work either 🙁
He’s talking about home games at Ibrox surely?
the pooling and sharing of resources across the UK for the benefit of me.
The rallies are in their dreams. Here’s a different version on the labour party web site; link to scottishlabour.org.uk
Only it doesn’t say “rallies,” it says “United with Labour events.” Which probably means a labour party committee meeting in a back room in the town hall with half a dozen in attendance. I did a google on United with Labour events in Fife and didn’t get any relevant hits at all apart from one meeting last May. Although, it is possible that the Evening Times has spun this to give the impression that pro-union rallies are taking place. I’d bet it was Sarwar, tho.
I find his reference to the common weal particularly nauseating, typical of him to try and pass it off as a labour party initiative.
I tried to post this over on the Evening Times. Not sure (actually I very much doubt) it will pass moderation.
Only a couple of questions, Anas. When you say “rallies” what exactly do you mean? 100+ people? 1,000, 10,000? I don’t recall hearing or reading about major rallies in the MSM or on the BBC/STV. So, please link to the reports of these rallies, just for my benefit for missing them so far.
My other question is about Labour’s record in government. Now you say that “???” what exactly? Labour had massive majorities in Westminster for 13 years. Thirteen! In that time the gap between the rich and poor widened! Where was Labour then? Big business avoided paying billions in taxes, where was Labour then?
The poor, unemployed, immigrants, disabled are being victimised by this ConDem government, and yet Labour failed to support its own motion in Westminster to abolish the bedroom tax. Where was labour?
You and your friends in Better Together have had decades to resolve the inequality and democratic deficit in the UK/Westminster parliamentary system. You, and your partners in Better Together and the other supporters of continued Scottish dependency on Westminster’s whim (that is Conservatives, LibDems, BNP, EDL, UKIP etc.) can bring forward ALL these changes you speak of. Maybe if you did, Scots might change their minds. But you do nothing. the rich MPs fighting hardest for their rich pals in “the City”.
Where has Labour’s social conscience gone?
It would be great if you could have a comments like or dislike button as there are some fantastic comments here.
Sad not to be able to like/dislike or share peoples views.
Upgrade required :))
And no not the cybermen type 🙂
I really feel sory ( ok I don’t ) for the Labour Party as they had such high hopes for this loser
Who can ever take him serious again
Was that famous ‘ootside the Co-op’ non event, for BT in Edinburgh, (same day as the 30,000 Yes campaign march to Calton Hill), which got all the unwarranted coverage just to create a fair and equitable balance bollocks, manufactured by the BBC for the Lucca Brazzi Tuba guy rally ?
Was the Sarwarlatan at that ?
is it just coincidence anus sarwar isnt an anagram for sleekit dog.
‘Now, it’s been said by some that there is no passion in the case that we are better together as part of the United Kingdom.’
I wonder where Anas picked up these vibes (here, possibly?), because they are true. There is no passion. The Union has had over 300 years to prove itself and has failed Scotland. The British Labour Party has had over a century to prove itself and has failed Scotland. The game’s up.
Every time Sarwar says “an idea bigger than independence” a braincell dies.
Of course we can’t have been at these rallies, as they only take place inside his own head. Or perhaps they were held in the matrix, with this lot anything is possible.
C’mon guys we’re awfy sorry New Labour were crap but New New Labour will be so muxh different Honest.
That’s why we totally condemn these horrible despicable Lib Dems for supporting the Nazi Tory Party but look forward to forming a coalition with them in 2015.
Principles – Sorry Don’t know what that means,
Loved the Clydebank video, maybe this is why he only talks to pensioners now!
Has no one got anything on these Rallies? Seems amazing we do not have ANY photos, places, newspaper articles, er nothing.
I reckon he will quickly go and stay in Pakistan with daddy where he will get his protection and be kept in the custom to which he aspires.
Anas by name anus by nature!
I think he was talking about the Tory Party conference. His favourite place after the Labour Party conference.
Try this article from Mr Kemp he of the stylish tweed suit as shown on tv last night.
Business for Scotland.

The hereditary (hearditfaeterrykelly) Westminster labour MP Anas Sarwar is not only deluded. He’s delirious. His brain inhabits loads of words ending with ous.
Sulphorous Sarwar is a stupendous sinistrous bawbag.
I understand that Anas Sarwar believes in reincarnation. The rallies he refers to were in Nuremberg. That’s where he first met Ian Davidson.
The only rallies Sarwar has been to were in Pakistan.
Little point in responding to the Evening Times via their “comments” – I’ve lost count of the number of comments I’ve had deleted or never published.
They seem to have 3 or 4 permanent/professional posters who invariably rant against the SNP – nobody else gets a look-in.
Careful guys, don’t get racist, lampoon this foolish carpetbagger by all means, but watch your language; we’re an inclusive society, always have been and that will be our continuing strength as we go on to flourish.
maybe he was at a football game and someone scored against their team and they all shouted NOOOOOOOOOOO
Pulling and sharing resources across the UK.
This is the current and historical system used by HMG. The establishment pull all the resources OUT of the regions in Engerland that are out with the Home Counties and redistribute them to the Home Counties via LONDON (Westminster). This includes Wales, N Ireland and SCOtLAND, this loot is then divid up by Westminster and shared among the Home Counties via London financial centres. There you are, that is pulling and sharing resources Westminster style.
Not to forget the skimming off that happens at each stage in the game, Especially the MPs who pretend to be the guardians of the public purse and who have their snouts deep in the trough. That is why the SLAB MPs are terrified of independence the gravy train would trundle on without them and they actually might find out how the people who voted for them try to live a decent life with these parasites draining the lifeblood out of them.
There is panic in the ranks of the great and good, (and MPs) it’s called fear!
Being the devious parasites they are they spin lies frightening the pseudo rich in Scotland that they are to wee, stupid and poor so they can keep robbing them blind. The psudo middle class are terrified of loosing their place in the pecking order (it’s just make believe) so they will stick with the system that has robbed them blind all their life. Better the thieving system you know, and forby they talk so nice those unionist MPs. So bow your head get on your knees and do as you are told by the LYING BASTARDS OF WESTMINSTER. Remember your place!
Wait! I get it, he’s talking about Ralaighs and that pooling resources is about a bike share scheme. Spelling matters after all.
Unfortunately Glasgow city council are about to undermine all hat by imposing a 5mph speed limit on bikes in the park while still allowing ‘permitted vehicles’ like trucks to go at 10mph.
oh actually off topic but if you have a dog, forget giving it proper exercise in Glasgow.

“that” I swear I typed “that”, please don’t delete me.
What’d I do? that post has disappeared,
oh well lets try again, LOCHGELLY he was in Lochgelly? well it must have been top secret because I heard absolutely nothing about it (and I live here) he was obviously talking to the cleaners, noticeable no mention is actually made of the numbers of people who attended his bore fest.
Barontorc says
“Careful guys, don’t get racist,”
Eh? what are you talking about, I’ve read every post and not one even comes close to being accused of being racists,
If you are referring to the posts that mention his Pakistan sojourns well they are right, every time there is a real vote on something he has an emergency visit to Pakistan that is more important,
If his dad was American would you say it was a racist comment to criticize his failure to attend the bedroom tax vote if he’d buggered off to the states, don’t give those bastards something to spin out of recognition Barontorc, I’m surprised at you.

(ref Ms. M. Bruce’s blog)
It would appear Mr Sarwar and his ilk consider Independence to be a party (small p intentional) political matter.
Albeit it relates to the separation of a political union, maybe these types and the Undecided need to understand it is much more important than politics, which can be addressed after September 2014.
Is it a case of emphasising ‘A ‘YES’ Vote is for your Country’s Independent Future and not for the SNP’?
Anas Sarwar is not trusted by the vast majority of the Scottish people.
As I have said here before, my father is a Unionist, but if I mention anyone from the Labour Party (and he is left wing by the way), he curses them all. He thinks any Labour politician is an out and out charlatan, that they are hypocrites and that they are all communist (which it turns out that for some, they were during their student days!)
Personally, Sarwar can lie, and lie, and lie …but he will never be trusted except by the poor and the mis-informed of his constituency.
At the end of the day, we could all make ourselves rich by going to the bookies, and putting good money on him that he will leave Scotland to take up a new life in Pakistan beside his dad. I’m guessing March 2016 (or about that point, once the rUK kick out the Scottish MP’s from Westminster).
““that” I swear I typed “that”, please don’t delete me.”
Cumon take your punishment like a man stop bubbling,
besides a mistake like that? well death is too good for you,
I got sentenced to death for putting in an apostrophe where there shouldn’t have been one, so all I do now is appear every now and again and scare the shit out of people,
BOO
Jeez that boy’s on strong meds.
I live in tory central in Scotland and I’ve only spotted one BT shindig all last year. Not exactly lighting the heather on fire with street presence.
“Has he tried selling this sharing and pooling in the SE of England or in the boardrooms of the dealing banks and finacial institutions?”
This. Over and over.
I posted on the “We did it together” SLAB page and got this:
“Warning: link to scottishlabour.org.uk is unreachable.”
Aaaah haaa haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaa “Unreachable” Excellent, says it all.
Sorry Rev, didn’t mean to post that as a link and can’t edit Sorry!
BuckieBraes, you are wrong, there *is* passion in the Better Together position, if unreasoning hatred of Alex Salmond counts as passion.
Mr. Anas Sarwar MP demonstrates his effortless grasp of arithmetic …
“Three people (including himself) constitutes a rally.”
Anas states there’s Passion in the Union camp….reminds me of the Fast Shows Ron Manager..
“Er, nice man, nice face, boyish charm with a hint of grey at the temples, but can you imagine that face contorted in the throes of sexual ecstasy?”
Was that the notorious Clydeside meeting, when Anas took a hammering?
A loser can’t be put down. All Sawar talks about is himself. Self opinionated Anas.
I guess it’s not so much the number of people at the “rallies” but a more a point of the number of people actually there listening, from what I’ve seen it was mainly oldies there at Lochgelly and many of those would have been there to get a last look at Pa Broon to find out what he’s actually offering, which sadly seems to be not much.
Anas Sarwar sees himself as bigger than he actually is and appears to think because he got invited to spout off next to an EX primed minister he’s being primed to be the next primed minister.
You gotta laugh at his delusions of grandeur.
Labour Unionists are supporting the Tories in privatising NHS and education. Penalising the poorer and most vulnerable, by making them pay for the Banking’ crisis. Rewarding the richer who caused it. (Them). Running out of time.
Illegal wars, Trident, ‘room tax’. Bankers bonuses up 35%. Selling off the assets. Gross mismanagement. No fraudulent banker or war criiminal has gone to jail.
Time’s up.
I awoke this morning with a passion for pooling and sharing.
But I’m conscious this is a family forum.
if you want to attend any bt rallies headed by anus sorearse times and dates below
any train station everyday
any bus station just after the above
any taxi rank
and any shop Qs
ps from now on im walking everywhere
If Anas Sarwar is related in any way to championing the union, I’ll have independence by default thank you very much.
Rallies he says, riots he means
Aye that was when he was in Amsterdam watching football with the rest of his ilk when he should of been doing the job he was elected to do by the people of Govan “voting to abolish a disgraceful tory tax” a tax that does nothing but inflict more misery on the poor, not just in Govan but the whole of Scotland.
This little cretin should be brought to task not only for the people of Govan who elected him, also for his betrayal to the people of Scotland.
Voting yes with confidence
