ronaldhinos dentist Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I dont read the mail, but it was open at my work. The mail today reports "now SNP seeks full control of fracking" and have written the article as if that is a bad thing. The UK government want to remove the right for scottish homeowners to object to drilling under their homes. The scottish government want to have control of issuing licenses and believe the decisions of where to drill should be made in Scotland, not London. It is a perfect example of attacking SNP for the sake of it and twisting facts to meet an anti- SNP agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Mate i tear my hair out everytime i walk past it in sainsburys in my lunch our i cant help reading the front page. i can tell you ive nearly picked it up just to throw it away. actually leaves me feeling sick sometimes with rage. this paper, the telegraph and the bbc are the worst culprits and their has to be a concerted effort to highlight these khunts for what they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It's a real problem that almost every media source is controlled by the (political) enemy. By far the main reason no won the vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The day before there was a front page headline saying the SNP have decided to put all matters on running the country on hold for three months until they have a new leader. Running the country stops at the moment. Expect a lot more anti-SNP stories to come out as they try to influence the election and stop a majority of independence supporting MSP's in 2016. They SNP government will be portrayed as an evil dictatorship in the next year and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldhinos dentist Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Whilst this still exists with the media, it throws out the argument of working together to move forward with the no vote, which is the very thing we are all expected to do. It is alienating, divisive and gives reason to resist the outcome. This sort of journalism does nothing for the country except fire up resentment.

King Of Paisley Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Simple solution - boycott this paper Scotland-wide. Hit them where it hurts by reducing their circulation by not purchasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittymeister Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Better still boycott all the Companies that advertise in it. A big loss in advertising revenue would hurt them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It needs to be banned from entering the countryfull stop but that aint going to happen obviously. This is what im talking about though. there constant stream of misleading/false nonsense bullsh*t needs to be highlighted on a huge scale.Obviouly WOS does excellent work on this but we need more done in my opinion.

davierobbsagod Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I sort of control the papers that the various stations in my city receive,one used to receive the mail ,I stopped it and some one complained,if anyone has any links as to how the mail has shat on public services etc especially fire etc I could use this as ammunition to get rid of it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldhinos dentist Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 This is what you voted for. Embrace it, welcome it. Suck it up. Where's Alan? I didn't vote for it. I voted yes. My point is the union are asking us to accept the vote and move on, yet the mail continues to barb the SNP, which will anger the now 62,0000 and cause the division the union dont want to see. I just don't think they get it at all, unless it is their plan to rankle disaffected yes supporters..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelk Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 How much does billboard advertising cost? Surely it would be possible to crowd fund a campaign against them? Get one of thon national collectiver designer types to make a nice ad for it. There would be huge support for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hate us and want us to leave but can't stand the idea of Britain being broken apart with Scotland leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hate us and want us to leave but can't stand the idea of Britain being broken apart with Scotland leaving. This afto, I met a typical - if there is such a thing - DM reader who argued the toss with me about how we now have all we want and how dare we still want total independence. I was with a guy who I worked with 45 years ago, and I thought they knwew each other, so I was reluctant to go full on with this tube. They were not pals so, when Les went for a piss, knob-head had the audacity to put his arm around me - those who know me know I will not be touched by strangers - and whispered how ungrateful we were and we've got more than we deserve from a benevolent Westminster. I wisnae happy and said, in no uncertain terms, a boozer was not the place for politics or religion. It isn't. Fortunately, the landlady - who is really mental but a nice lassie - told him to leave and, fair play, he did. But... This is not the first time in the past week where I have encountered animosity because of the result of the referendum. I can look after masel' but, I really don't think, when we get what is promised, certain elements in England will not be too happy. I am concerned. Yours, Concerned (Didsbury.)

weekevie04 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I saw labour is spinning the SNP stance on bombing ISIS. as "playing juvenile politics", what total fuckwittery. If the SNP said the sky was blue, Labour would disagree. All they ever mention is the SNP. They are the jilted wife/hubby who can't get over that Scotland left them in 2007, 2011 and if you seen that YouGov poll, looks like a 16% win again for the SNP in 2016 (another increased majority). They took Scotland for granted and the people although still sceptical about independence it seems, trust and like the SNP far more than Labour. Even what 8 years on - all they can talk about is the SNP. Really hopeful we seen a lot of their core vote going SNP, SSP and Greens in 2016 - depending on Calman part II goes, and if it is indeed lack lustre and the odd bit here, odd bit there. We could be looking at a large SNP with them the Greens increasing their lot and hopefully the SSP having a half dozen MSP back in the parliament too.
