I couldn't give a gently caress about the Queen. HTH.

Would it help the conciliation process if I told you that in my Crusader kings II game i'm playing as England and i'm totally the best buds with Scotland. We just keep marrying each others daughters! What fun. Now time to gently caress Ireland once and for all.

The Labour party are astonishing, in that they actually think poo poo like this will work for them, and not backfire horribly.

quote:

Ed Miliband will go on the offensive against the SNP on a visit to Scotland tomorrow as Labour prepares to unveil a dossier of evidence to show that Nationalist MPs supported the Tories 70 per cent of the time during the last two Labour governments.

The attack is part of efforts “to dispel the myth” that an SNP vote will bring in a Labour government, Labour sources say.

Discussions are also underway to commemorate the 28 March anniversary of 11 SNP MPs joining the Tories to help vote down Jim Callaghan’s government in 1979.

The historic vote led to the election which brought in Margaret Thatcher and heralded 17 years of Conservative rule. Proposals to mark the day include wearing a black arm band and laying a wreath at the miners’ memorial.

The Labour Party have nothing to lose, if the polls you all keep quoting are to be believed. Showboating at the miner's memorial is stupid, but a full scorched earth tactic is perfectly reasonable at this point. I mean, what are the SNP going to do? "Accusing us of supporting the Tories? Well, just for that we're going to support the Tories!"

This is a weird election. It feels like both parties are trying to throw it.

If the global economy crashes again in the next five years (which it might well do, given the nature of capitalism over the past hundred years) then the incumbent party will take the blame for it and for all the good they do in government, they will be voted out at the next election for a very long time.

Maybe I should vote Tory this election in the hope of destroying the party and hopefully much of their ideology in the long run. What would you even call that? Macro-tactical voting? :catdrugs:

People are already talking about it though. Nobody cared about stuff like this, or this.

They know their audience, everyone else mentioning it just raises the profile of the campaign and increases the number of people that matter (English swing voters) hearing it.

It's interesting how flattering the conservative campaign in England is towards Salmond, what with this and the pocket poster. So far no stink lines at all.

I get what they're doing - portraying him as a sort of Putin-like figure or Mafia don to scare the English, it's just unusual to see it done in a flattering way instead of shorter and fatter, in an SS uniform with a kilt that shows his bum.

Anyway, it's clearly not aimed at a Scottish audience. How many Scots would normally vote Labour but would vote Tory to keep the SNP out? Maybe a few in the Orange order?

I've not seen it on TV in England, the video is on the Tory Youtube channel, and they ask us to share it on social media.

You said it was 'interesting' that the Tories were not attacking Salmond - I've given you the reason why. They're attacking Labour while saying nothing to deter SNP voters.

I....can't remember ever needing convincing of that actually. Don't know exactly what sparked my Tory hatred, but the first election in my life was 1992 and I know I already considered them Bad People by then. They occupied the same place in my head as Texas Pete from Superted.
