Aramoro posted:The EU are getting everything they want, negotiating with the Tories is going great for them. What you don't want is the Tories negotiating for you. I love the strategy of acting like you've had a minor infraction at Tescos and demanding to speak to the manager until they give you free toilet roll to get you to gently caress off.

The EU isn't getting what it wants, since what it wants is a coherent and reasonable proposal from Britain. And instead it gets a bunch of self-contradicting ideas combined with absurd demands. The likely outcome is a no-deal Brexit, which is also not what the EU wants, but if the Tories are insisting on shooting their leg off after they shot their foot off, more power to them I guess.

I think it’s a very good look because the guy is a scumbag on the make. What’s needed is a pro-independence Scottish video hosting service. Let’s crowdfund this. For only £100k I can buy some web hosting. Pissflaps fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Jul 28, 2018 |

I’m aware of fair dealing, which is not fair use. Might as well be bleating about the first amendment. Your man clearly hadn’t given a moments thought to the legality of how he was using other people’s stuff in his blog. Now he’s come up a cropper.

Coohoolin posted:Wings is not the only media apparatus affected by this. Is your source for this perhaps, Stuart Campbell, as what you've said is pretty much a quote from him in the article. But this being you I expect you make some unfounded claims, say you heard about it 'somewhere' and then never speak of it again. That's your usual MO. I mean Peter Curran is moaning about it because YouTube told him it would be fine, despite that not being a thing YouTube can claim. But then again, Peter Curran is in fact a lunatic. https://twitter.com/moridura/status/1023696293451968513

Alex Salmond has clearly decided Scottish politics is being a bit too dull just now and is suing the Government.

It’s not clear to me why exactly he is suing but my suspicion is that it’s to muddy the waters surrounding the allegation that he groped some woman without consent.

That doesn’t help at all. Why does he need to ‘measure his grassroots support’? And isn’t there a way of doing it that doesn’t involve a rich man asking ordinary people to pay his legal fees?

The SNP contingent on Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life have managed to create a shitstorm in a teacup by leaning on the board overseeing Rangers’ application for a fanzone around Ibrox, and then supporting the idea for Hampden and selling council land for the express purpose of a fanzone around Celtic Park. https://www.scotsman.com/news/tory-msp-slams-snp-over-blocking-of-rangers-plans-for-fan-zone-1-4791186 Nice that they’ll be on the front and back pages now

It's trash, the oval office is plenty well off to pay his own legal fees. "Measure his grassroots support" my arse, commission a poll rather than fleece normal working people.

Grassroots support for what exactly? If enough people support him will his accusers get all coy and say they must have been mistaken? He's trying to (get others to) fund a legal challenge to how the misconduct allegations were handled. Hopefully the Court of Session isn't going to simply check who is most popular with the public and then go "You win!" Also if the complaints procedure is "unjust" as he claims why hasn't he ever mentioned this before it was applied to him? Man's a grasping self-congratulatory egotist. gently caress 'im.

He wants some leverage if/when this goes badly. I'm just suggesting the reason why a millionaire would initiate a crowdfunding campaign alongside a nationally significant resignation timed to be on the front page of the National (apparently pre-empting what would have been a Record exclusive). It's at 25k / half way already btw. forkboy84 posted:commission a poll Those cost money, crowdfunding brings in money.

https://twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon/status/1034909245760856064 Nicola has decided that because Alex got drunk and groped some women that didn’t want him to, independence is now more important than ever. Makes sense.
