How Jim Murphy voted on Foreign Policy and Defence
Voted moderately for use of UK military forces in combat operations overseas
Voted very strongly for the Iraq war
Voted very strongly against an investigation into the Iraq war
Voted very strongly for replacing Trident with a new nuclear weapons system
Voted moderately for more EU integration
Voted moderately against a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU
Voted moderately for strengthening the Military Covenant
He was part of Blair's warmongering machine. He didn't turn up to vote against the bedroom tax.
His wee tour of 100 towns wasn't getting a mention in the press until he was egged - something that points to it being a setup as the culprit hasn't been caught despite his face being seen on video. When the tour started again yesterday there was a fair presence of press and photographers there so his PR stunt worked. As it was just no supporters there to listen to him he was preaching to the converted anyway which is basically a waste of time.

Salmond claimed 116,000 one year for Westminster expenses and only turned up 6 times.
20,000 a year is small fry compared to 20,000 per day.

Anyway, I seen Jim Murphy speak 2 weeks ago and there should have been arrests, it was truly bonkers the level of abuse and intimidation that he and his followers were met with. All orchestrated online previously I must add by the nationalists as I seen myself.
the MP for East Renfrewshire is among those listed as raking in income by letting out their London properties while claiming up to £20,000 a year to rent in the city.

Originally posted by Bunk View PostIt's hard to make a case for a status quo, especially one where a lot people are already dissatisfied. The Yes campaign can promise the world with no evidence to back it up and it will appeal to people who think "well, it can't be any worse". On Facebook I've seen probably 10:1 ratio of Yes campaigners to No campaigners. They are far more motivated and aggressive.

The debate usually goes like this...
"I am quite happy with things as they are"
"So you don't mind foodbanks then, kids are starving every night because of people like you, we wont have an NHS because of you, money spent on weapons of mass destruction rather than on cancer victims, you are killing kids with cancer"
Most tend to avoid people who are behaving hysterically and irrationally, it is tough now that we have to engage with them rationally over subjects so important.

He sums it up all rather nicely:
