Woe betide anyone with the timerity to criticise the snp. The whole snp party machine and associated cybernat trolls turned on her, as they have done with others in the past.

Full scale intrusive investigation, spin and downright lies about her. Just nasty people.

For fairness was it not The Daily Record digging rather than SNP pe se. Easy story for the papers and by the look of it some anti-SNP rhetoric on TV debate from the lady in question backfired on her somewhat. The 'abuse' by her own fb post seems to have come from other nurses at odds with what she was claiming, not necessarily political or from SNP.
I know Rangers fans dont like the Daily Record but thought that was on a perceived Celtic bias basis rather than an SNP bias one. Seems like this issue was blown up and milked by Unionists too for mileage.

Each side as bad as eachother I'd think.

Whats rangers got to do with it? Cybernats were abusing her on twitter before the debate was even over - wrongly saying she was married to a Tory councillor. As far as I can see the record has just written a typically low brow story reporting what was on twitter.

I was trying to see if there was a link between SNP and Daily Record I wasn't aware of. The Rangers Celtic thing isn't relevant, was circumstantial in showing the paper to have a perception of bias, didn't really work I admit.

I think the record tries to stay neutral on Indy issues. Both praises and criticises Scottish politicians, which of course leads to claims of bias from all sides from time to time.

Nursie was an obvious plant.......First question was about Nicola Sturgeon losing her seat.
Anyone spot a flaw in that.

Once again a desperately poor performance from BBC Scotland.
Two anti SNP presenters who allowed 50% of the UK Election debate to feature devolved matters.

Nursie's question on food banks and nurses salaries should have been put to Ruth Davidson to answer on behalf of her leader.
Nurses salaries are set by the UK government........Scotland chooses to pay it's nurses more than rUK.

You're sounding increasingly paranoid about the BBC. They need to have a range of views in the audience and that includes people opposed to the snp, even though cybernats can't seem to understand that.

Not paranoid, just amazed with what they can get away, and remain unchallenged, in a so called open and modern country.
Corbyn's treatment by the UK BBC is another example.

16 point swing towards Labour in Wales.
Momentum building.

 

[CheltenhamHacker]

Am I completely missing something about this rubbish "Corbyn refuses to condemn IRA" spiel that's around? He repeatedly says in the interview that he condemns anyone who bombed.. without getting into the politics of NI or that period of history, surely that's just misreporting?

If someone said to me "please confirm if you like pork and apple sausages" and I consistently replied "I love all sausages, including pork and apple, and beef", then you couldn't go around reporting that "I don't love pork and apple sausages", could you?!

Each Hospital Trust can set its own salaries, contracts and T&C's.

SNP have apologised... why do that if they've done no wrong I wonder?

And if the Scottish Parliament has control over NHS spending in Scotland, why the need for questions on their salaries?

Unlike you to to let facts get in the way... lost a grip on reality?

What they are getting away with is only in your imagination, the BBC bends over backwards to be impartial.

Supposedly the nurse was asked to come back to ask her question as she hadn't been selected the previous week. Maybe more pre-planned than it seems.

Seems fair enough? I don't see the problem.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

If it is a q & a then you need people who will ask questions, different ones as well. Nothing odd about that. Pretty dull program otherwise.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Seems fair enough? I don't see the problem.

The question she was 'invited' to ask should have been directed at Ruth Davidson, not Nicloa Sturgeon or any other members of the leaders group.
As I said before, the UK Government are responsible for nurses pay, the Scottish Government top this up so she is £800 a year better off than working in England.
Who do you think would solve her problem?

Generally at these things questions are asked and everyone on the panel gets to answer. They take it in turns to respond first?

I know the snp like to act like the opposition and blame Westminster for all their failings but in this context sturgeon is the government and Davidson just the leader of one of the minor parties.

The NHS is devolved and the Scottish government have the power to pay nurses more, even if basic rates are set by Westminster (I don't know if that's correct BTW but taking your word for it)

As the parties have suspended campaigning today in the light of Manchester , it might be appropriate to give it a rest today.

Totally agree.

Everyone who was at the concert now accounted for and all families notified; Queen held a minute silence yesterday - we need to get on with the election campaigning tomorrow I think...because if we don't I fear some will resort to accusations of manipulation of the atrocity by May.

That's a pretty low punch. I feel a bit sick reading it.
