Jimmy Reid on New Labour or SNP

[scotsexile1]

Weel said Jimmy - we can dae it and we will dae it!

[jimk47]

Never forgive him for the hatchet job he did on the miners, a fuckin class traitor.

[Azureecosse]

A clever insightful man who i believe truly cared for Scots and Scotland and he never swayed in his mission or beliefs like some, a sad loss for Scotland. Will we ever see his likes again i hope so. A true Local Hero for the working people of Scotland.

[BillDFC]

You are the bigot here, with an opinion that makes you a laughing stock. Scargill received a large salary on the back of ordinary people losing their jobs.

He was a parasite.

You are unable to comprehend anything that isn't from middle England.

I had Shakespeare rammed down my gullet at school and that really was garbage.

[mudfries]

Jimmy was a REAL working class hero, he's bang on about the modern labour party, they're just red tories now, take a look at "news net scotland dot com" (all one word) for great articles you wont see in the right wing papers. c'mon the SNP!

[jediirnbru]

It is crying shame that he won't see independence. Great man

[CrankCase08]

@jediirnbru - A great traitor more like. He took Rupert Murdoch's money to attack Arthur Scargill and the Miner's strike on behalf of Thatcher's government. Just like Neil Kinnock, Reid was a treacherous, self-seeking windbag. Good riddance to the self-righteous bastard.

[BillDFC]

@CrankCase08 Jimmy Reid didn't have as many Jaguars as Scargill. Good riddance to Scargill and his bunch of self survivalist deceivers.

[CrankCase08]

@BillDFC How many Jaguars did Arthur Scargill have at once then?

You're a real hypocrite talking about 'self survivalist' when you defend Reid, who was always an egotistical deceiver, as well as a windbag, constantly trying to appear clever by spouting rubbish that was produced by Robert Burns, who was one of the most pretentiously crappy literate figures that Britain has ever produced.

Typical Jock Nationalists sticking together like birds of a feather.

[BillDFC]

@CrankCase08 How many should he have had? Like your bigoted, ignorance of Burns, your opinions on Reid are equally biased.

Wrap yourself in an England flag and shout abuse at the rest of the World.

[CrankCase08]

@BillDFC So you don't know how many Jaguars he had, and you just made it up! No surprise there.

My opinions on Burns are 'biased'? Of course they are biased, it's called an educated opinion. Whenever Burns couldn't think of a rhyming word he invented one. You are clearly bigotted against the English, of which Scargill is one, so invent lies just to justify one of the biggest working class traitors and con-men of the modern age, namely Jimmy Reid.

[1scot4scotland]

R.I.P Jimmy Reid.

He died with the realisation that the SNP

now stand for what old labour stood for.

For that the SNP have my vote.

[royser1]

Rest in Peace comrade.

[lummyish]

R.I.P

[BoonyBanny]

The SNP support was a misstep by the big man.

[jerrygreg2]

@BoonyBanny Whatever your view on the SNP, he was right about New Labour.

[NeMeImpuneLacessit]

@BoonyBanny, so do you think he should have supported NuLiebore?

[BoonyBanny]

@NeMeImpuneLacessit I feel his step outwith affirmative action groups and into party politics was a misstep all in - he was seduced by the liberal media and became a footsoldier in it when he instead could have been a leader of working Scottish men from under the yoke of all parties and their quizzling, degenerate overlords.

[NeMeImpuneLacessit]

@BoonyBanny, that is how the elite continue to control us and stay at the top, divide and conquer, seduce and use. Sad but true.

[korkiethecat]

Does anyone have a video of when Jimmy Reid was interviewed by Parkinson in the early 70s along with Kenneth Williams? Williams is doing his best to be obnoxious to Jimmy by attempting to belittle him by quoting poetry and saying "I bet you don't know who wrote that. Jimmy then quotes some poetry himself and said "do you know who wrote that? Blank faces all round - he then says in a quitely proud moment, "I did".

Result: Reid - 2 Williams own-goal.

Would've made a great Prime Minister.

[fionndan]

@korkiethecat I would also like to see that. Anybody ?

[robg71]

@korkiethecat I remember watching that interview, Williams was trying to annoy reid, But the Big fella came back and shut williams right up

[BongoBrido]

Now that sounded like a man talking sense!

Shame he is no longer with us, but luckily, this little snippet of his life just reached me *;o)

thank you.

[dazzanumber3]

John Lennon called him a real working class hero.

Never a truer word said.

RIP John

[ScotlandForLife]

OF COURSE we can do it. Its a total insult to suggest Scotland can't govern itself. End the Union - YOU don't want it. YOU don't need it. Don't listen to English propaganda and scare-mongering. This is YOUR country. Reclaim it for the Scots.

[beatityatube]

Away ya drunken nobody.

[freescotlandnow]

Great stuff!

[moodycelt]

one of the Scotlands socialist legends. "We can do it" never a truer word
