Wendy Alexander's Opening Salvo at Holyrood

[ELONut]

I Love wee Bendy she is a real asset to Scotland! a free Scotland!

[xeca09]

Thats your problem and people like you.

You hate the SNP with a passion. You have so much vitriol and hate despite the fact that the SNP are a democratic and legitimate party just as much as any other party.

You arent content simply to disagree you need to hate and scare monger because deep down you know, that it is not beyond the realms of possibility that a referendum would grant scotland its freedom.

[BillDFC]

Alex Salmond has a dignity that the Unionists envy....

[nighttraintotula]

Is Wendy still here?

[RossHenderson1992]

Can we just leave her alone now, she's admitted she's done wrong and will give the money back. Get over it now, she's here to stay

[SNP2008]

but not to win.

[pattymkirkwood]

Vote Wendy? She wont be around for 2011! Illegality follows illegality, whether breaking international or domestic law Labour are convinced that the rules dont apply to them. They dont even stand for anything any more. They used to represent a proud tradition, now they are a party solely seeking power! Enough of Labour nepotism ... she only got the job because of Gordon Brown's blessing. Who knows they may even manage a genuine internal election when Wendy eventually realises she has to go!

[gordybrownnumber1]

Hmmm!Im a old Labour supporter but what can i say about Wendy.

1, Can no longer be trusted due to accepting illegal donations.

2, Talks utter nonsence most of time.

3, Cant get facts right during a debate.

4, Acts like a spoilled brat instead of a MSP.

5, Has no confidence

6 No one really has confidence in her appart from a few numpties on youtube.

Other than that there is not much more to her.

[Jamandell]

...like not fulfilling it's pledge for 1000 new police officers? For not fullfilling it's pledge to end student debt? And so much more?

[alacas69]

Maybe because the financial settlement from London Labore (designed to mess up the SNPs first term) was less than expected and they have had to fund items that were not in their manifesto; that's minority government for you though. There will be 1000 more officers on the beat! This daft expectation that the SNP would wave a magic wand and do everything with the first 6 months is naïve at best. If you want that vote for Paul Daniels.

[Jamandell]

Well maybe if they hadn't PROMISED everything under the sun in the first place, they wouldn't look so incompetent.

And don't give me that financial settlement crap, it's the highest amount of money ever given to a Scottish government.

[alacas69]

How childish, 'Everything under the sun'? What a load of tripe. They do not look incompetent; they're riding high in the opinion polls! That's simply wordplay, stick to the facts, it was lowest 'budget increase' since devolution and one that I am willing to bet would not have happened if Labore were still in government. Worse still considering its come about on the heels of a massive windfall to Westminster from North Sea Oil.

[RossHenderson1992]

Vote Wendy in 2011, the SNP suck!!!

[nighttraintotula]

If Wendy the crooked cow is still there...

W-END-Y LONDON RULE

[Jamandell]

Well, I'd say Vote Nicol! But, I'd rather have Wendy than the stinking SNP

[alacas69]

Inane nonsense.

[RossHenderson1992]

Thank you Jamandell, finally it proves people still respect Labour

[gordybrownnumber1]

Well atleast that means two people still like labour. What is there to respect about Labour right now?

I believed in Labour and they sold out. It should be about labour respecting the people and law not the other way about.

[gordybrownnumber1]

Perhaps you would rather be less borring and find a girlfriend and gain some life experience before you think about politics.

Oh have you started shaving yet or are u still a misunderstood adolescent? LOL

[RossHenderson1992]

I dinna tink so, I know what I'm talking about. Labour for life

[aglackin]

Partys are not like football teams your allowed to switch if they turn to shit. City till i die makes more sense than Labour for life. Besides its New Labour for life you meen your old partys long dead.

[alacas69]

Yes vote for the party that contributed to the slaughter of thousands in an illegal war, lied about WMD, cash for honours, illegal dodgy cash from foreign backers (yes Wendy knew fine and well where it was coming from), the party that lost 25 million folks ids, covertly allowed rendition flights from UK airports,Taxed the nation to the hilt, are the government who saw council tax increase by over 60%.

[RossHenderson1992]

To be fair, in 2003 a majority of the people were in favour of the Iraq war. And there is a difference between Labour and Scottish Labour, they did none of those things.

[alacas69]

Mmm, to be fair to whom, certainly not the folk in Iraq or our service personnel who have suffered immensely? In favour because of the lies and deceit from the Westminster led, so-called intelligence service. Scottish Labore was and still is a simple lapdog to London Labore, 'two cheeks of the same backside' to steal a phrase from George Galloway. Now we have more lies from them both sides of the border, no surprise there.

[gordybrownnumber1]

Em! you are obviously insane. Have you been transported here from a parallel universe or something where perhaps Labour are actually do good.

[Jamandell]

Well I'd rather have Labour than the Tories or the SNP, but I agree that all those parties are pretty much awful. The only solution to Britain's problems is to vote Liberal Democrat.

[bcnsco]

Vote LIB get LAB.

[nighttraintotula]

Council Tax just frozen Wendy! Get over it.

Its on page 4 honey!

[alacas69]

Allowing Wendy the helm of Labore in Scotland is fantastic, the Labore party must be looking to self-destruct...good riddance to bad rubbish. Vote for a forward thinking party, one that is actually putting Scotland's interests first...Vote SNP and help make Scotland matter!

[Jamandell]

Vote SNP to make Scotland bankrupt

[alacas69]

What complete and utter nonsense!

[technophiles]

I hate it when the politicians sit there and laugh and shake their head around. Fair enough, they might find some of their opponents statements amusing but they just look like morons half the time.

[macusername]

wendy lips

[saoralba2006]

16416408, we would still have an english queen as 'queen of scots' not queen of scotland. there would be a referendum asking the people of scotland to vote on scotland becoming a republic. s.n.p. stand for the people of scotland and their welfare, it's up to us.

[cadno1]

labour are off to a shambolic start ther even fightin amoung therselfs and askin the media to keep quiet about her awful start lol

[rickelmonoggin]

F*cks sake-What is Wendy doing?! She just looks completely ridiculous swinging around on her chair like a petulant school child told off by her teacher.

[mikemckv]

Well said, Nicola. More of the same.

[16416408]

If scotland got independence, would we still have the english queen??

fuck that!

I heard Salmond supported her. if so, ive lost alot of respect for him.

[cadno1]

Wendy spits the dummy out thts why only 7% of the scotish population like her what a shit leader.

[nighttraintotula]

Wendy is toast. She just cant wipe that 'who shat in my handbag?' look off of her face.

[123meonTV]

Nicola's brilliant.

[Jamandell]

I saw this the day it happened...should be interesting next week when she officially goes on FMQ's as leader.

(She becomes the leader the day I move out to Uni, what annoying timing lol)
