Watch this video, filmed in Paisley when Miliband was doing his better together campaigning. Sorry about the accents but the lassie asks why is it acceptable for the UK to spend Billions on Trident and I canna even get a house? Miliband looks traumatised, possibly as he has no answer leaving Danny Alexander and Joanne Lamont to pick up the pieces. Lamont waffles a load of pish as Miliband slithers off out of the action. Absolute maggot of a man. If fact he is not a man. Little wonder labour have lost it with cowards like that trying to lead the party. http://youtu.be/ITF9DYPtLno Sorry for another political thread but I after seeing that am totally disgusted with the Labour Party I love and see being lead by closet Tories.
What's the link between nuclear defence and someone getting a free house? Does she think she will automatically get a free house in an independent Scotland? Can't see it myself. Still, Trident and North Sea oil are the answers to all questions and the no campaigners are just liars and bullies.
FFS that is some deflection there, even for you. It is a fact that the UK spends Billions of pounds on nuclear subs ans missiles. It is also a fact that not enough money is spent on building houses. Conan my friend please point out where exactly the lassie asked for a FREE house?
Aye theres sensible.... scrap trident and its free houses for everyone! no i know there is a deeper point here but come on. The issue over trident seems to be massive and the yes campaign are using it as a battering ram to force home their opinion. If we as a united kingdom need trident and i know im biased but i think we do then it will provide security and many thousands of jobs elsewhere if scotland vote yes. if they vote no il enjoy visiting faslane and the beautiful surrounding countryside every couple of years for the foreseeable future.
Just been on rightmove. There are LOADS of property available in paisley and theyre dirt cheap too. 124 properties on the market under 50k
I just hope that in the future if we come under attack from foreign lands that Scotland won't be expecting any sort of defence provided by the rest of Britain. War isn't about hand to hand combat wearing face paint anymore.
Potrsmouth I totally respect you mate, but TBH my anger in this video was for the total disrespect that Miliband showed to the lassie. She as an individual possibly could not give 2 hoots over trident but is only looking to put a roof over her childrens heads. As any reponsible parent would do. You saw Miliband and his reaction. He was on the streets to supposedly offer help and support to the Scots and to reassure them that he and his lot would look after the electorate and we would be better together. You must agree that was an absolute fail. A wee common lassie wanting to know why she can't get a house and he walks away. I am absolutely disgusted and as a Labour voter utterly sick at the weak leadership we have in the party ATM. Doubt very much if Tommy Sheridan would walk away under any circumstances. Well I'm certainly glad I'm not stuck in the trenches with a coward like Miliband.
I agree that Labour elected the wrong person to lead them but I just don't understand the point this lass is making? Had she raised the point of immigration, the selling off of council houses or the scandalous prioritisation system used for allocating social housing I could have seen a legitimate point to her query but Trident? Sorry but she was just looking for an argument and her two minutes of fame which thanks to social media she seems to have achieved.
You'll be happy about those nuclear missiles if the world goes down the shitter and nuclear war breaks out. Those wasted billions of pounds could save your life.
How do you know if that girl is in a position to afford 50k mortgage. She is more than likely on a minimum wage and looking for a council house of which are at times hard to come by because of lack of them being built.
im totally in agreement with you mate that this labour leadership is weak. MarioKempes sums it perfectly above on this point however and i fail to see her point. Alex Salmond and the yes campaign wern't on hand to promise her riches if she votes yes as they cant do that. same mess just different politicians making it.
Yeah you could be right but the point was money for nuclear bombs and none for extra housing. She asked a question and Miliband fail to give an answer. Miliband has certainly went right down in my estimations by not having the bottle or common decency to give an answer.
As she claims to be homeless and was out with her kids in the middle of the day ill guess she isnt on any wage. By the way minimum wage is enough for a 50k mortgage and the cheapest property I saw on rightmove in paisley was just 17k (two bed) or she could rent for just 68 quid a week (two bedrooms as shes got a kid) which is cheaper than most council Sorry but some people look for excuses and people to blame
Well done Super Tyke and I bow to your superior knowledge on minimum wage and homelessness. I my self am totally ignorant on these matters but I would have expected that the likes of Miliband to have those answers if he has any ambitions at all of becoming a countries leader.
So are the new Scottish govt going to start knocking a load of new houses up too for people to live in for next to nowt? To go with free education and prescriptions. A lot of stuff to pay for. I suppose the oil will pay for it all. And the comparatively small amount you'll save from trident.
