Does make you wonder why some folk seek 'high office' but it'll look good on the CV when Kezuia goes for her next job in a month or two.

My last reply to Tweedledum and Tweedledee seems to have suffered the censor's cut.

[Bill McDicken]

Doubt it, You probably hit the wrong key, not the first time one of mine has vanished into the ether never to be seen again.
So just do it again. (Carefully this time!)

[jimcee]

Ok another try -tweedledee
My last posting suggested that you two were obsessed with denigrating anything or anyone who might perchance be a threat to the (perceived) unsullied reputation of the SNP.
This unsullied reputation (and presumably proof of their exemplary record in government or opposition at Westminster) has been conspicuously absent from your postings.
Maybe they have done something right that you could crow about?
One of the likely rejoinders which might be trumpeted from tweedles (plural), for this continued denigration of the opposition is that it is "all good , clean, fun".
I may be out on a limb here, but in no way could I affix any of these three descriptions to this tirade of abuse.
Get a grip lads - try being positive - not negative.

I'm not really sure I can make much sense of your last post Jim, other than you again voice your disapproval of people being 'denigrated', and I happen to agree with you that we should not mock others.
So it seems to me you're being a little hypocritical and displaying duel standards by using the terms 'Tweedledum' 'Tweedledee' and 'tweedles', all of which, as you are aware are only used in a negative and derogatory fashion.
I'm not bothered and I'm sure Nick will smile, but I think your standards are slipping since you began dabbling in 'The Slate' Jim, and that is a shame.
We had some good exchanges on 'Seil Chat' and I hope to do so again, but I don't remember any derogatory name calling from you.

Incidentally, I genuinely feel sorry for Kezuia Dugdale. Jim Murphy was unable to halt Labour's decline and I doubt she can reverse it.
With the introduction of 'New Labour' by Blair, ( who must be the most despicable character in modern politics, though Thatcher gave him a run for his money ) the Left Wing lost it's voice in Parliament.

New Labour took it for granted that the Labour grassroots would just go along with all the 'spin' (lies). Well they were wrong as the last election in Westminster and Holyrood demonstrated when the Labour vote collapsed.
We need a strong left wing in this country and unfortunately New Labour can't provide it.

In all our exchanges, Bill Mc, I have never cast aspersions on your character - only on your perceived adherence to a political ideal which you consider completely above reproach - can do no wrong - and which all others should stand in awe of - a position which is shared even more vehemently by Tweedledum.
By using this nomenclature for yourself and NB I have tried to refrain from more derogatory terms in the interest of keeping the exchange within the bounds of common decency.
Currently, you are a pair who will take every opportunity to further your cause (negatively) and will bolster each other's pronouncements as a matter of course.
Keep it all coming, if it gives you a kick, but don't expect any accolades.

[Bill McDicken]

OK. Jim,
I give up. You can take your prejudices back to 'The Slate' because I'm no longer interested in hearing them.

[jimcee]

Now I find that last rejoinder very interesting
In all my previous interchanges with Bill McD there has been an element of civility.
This last riposte from that quarter from Bill McD does not ring true and is absolutely reminiscent of our esteemed administrator's responses and it begs the question 1) was our administrator responsible for the wording?, or 2) Has administrator so affected his sidekick that he has been brainwashed into following the leader's phraseology?

[NickB]

Jim,

You are being absurdly rude. Is that the real Jim Cunningham?

I will ban you if you post one more piece of dross like that. In fact, if you don't apologise to Bill then you have most certainly posted your last on here.

[jimcee]

Losing the rag again and laying down the law again NB.
So be it.

Bye bye Jim
