Exclusive: Blair McDougall Tapped for Pro-Union “No” Role
Former Purnell SpAd and David Miliband campaign organiser Blair McDougall has been approached to run the pro-Union “No” campaign against Scottish independence. Blair’s current job as director of David Miliband’s shadow activist base the “Movement for Change” was advertised in yesterday’s Guardian. A Number 10 spokesman did not deny that McDougall has been approached.
Guido understands that Jim Murphy and Alistair Darling recommended the ultra-Blairite to Downing Street through the cross-party “No” umbrella group. As one Labour insider put it: “Well, they certainly cleared the ‘get a bloke with a Scottish name’ hurdle”. An SNP insider told Guido “never heard of him…”
As we go to pixel McDougall has not returned Guido’s calls.
Looks like a younger Tom Watson
What is it with the Blair brand and Labour?
Meanwhile, our brave boys in the Home Office get to grips with undesirable foreigners who threaten our civilisation.

Brilliant.
Silly boy – all he had to do was praise @ll@h
Clearly this Mitchell fellow is a very dangerous individual and had to be removed from our society urgently, because of the threat he posed to the general community. Now a raving, terror advocating cleric on the other hand…..
He should have borrowed a Koran and a prayer mat.
8illy’s work
Talking of work, Portugal is scrapping four public holidays. When are WE going to scrap all “holidays with pay”? If you’re not working, you shouldn’t be earning. Especially pinko teachers.
He should have become a muzzie cleric then he could have stayed as long as he wanted.
Looks like independence is a certainty the. His boss was a shoe in for the Labour Leader.
horses for courses.
Actually it’s a ‘shoo in ‘ and little to do with squeezing feet into shoes a la shoehorn.
Yes, relates to chasing sheep into a pen.
Will independence mean the end of the BBC? If so bring it on.
“Cameron”.
That sounds scottish too.
Dr Cameron was pure Scotch.
He certainly liked a wee dram before surgery – well we all did..
Yes to Scottish independence!
They can stick the Barnett Formula where the sun doesn’t shine (and I don’t mean Glasgow!) and us English taxpayers can stop funding Rab C Nesbitt for good. We’d also get rid of a load of Labour MPs from Westminster for good.
Jocks away!
Pity about Southampton.
Declare idependence for London, the biggest subsidy junkie of them all.
Agreed and we can build a UK Embassy there.
Better still, embassies for the individual countries that currently make up the Divided Kingdom.
Plus, there should be no Scots (or any other foreigners either!) in an English parliament. How many English persons are there in the Scot or Welsh Assemblies?
Don’t you mean Portsmouth?
How’s that whole Bradford thing going Nonny?
All sorted and tidied away?
Actually, Glasgow is quite sunny today – has been some several weeks now while you lot are flooded out with OUR water.
True. But, WE are always English…..ye ken?
Scotland owns all clouds does it?
If it were within the British Parliament’s gift, the Scots would own the clouds, and they’d charge us English every time it rains.
“As we go to pixel McDougall has not returned Guido’s calls.”
He’s quite bright then
For an independent view on Scotland and it’s contribution to the UK coffers try this
from the Wall Street Journal

You dont really expect the simple folk on this blog to read evidence based articles. I mean it fucks with their world view and makes them appear foolish. Naw leave them to their bigotry and ignorance.
Last year Scotland contributed 9.6% of U.K. taxes, yet received only 9.3% of U.K. spending in return with just 8.4% of the population
Less
scroungersmulticultarism that’s whyHow many of those jobs returning tax payments were government jobs? Answer that honestly and you answer the whole economic non-case that scotchland has as an independent country. Though please feel free to bugger off with Salmond’s merry men ‘o’ the heether anyway.
What fucking language are you speaking, who the fuck says “Heether” dear God.
Note that the linked article was written by a Scot living in Hong Kong.
“As we go to pixel McDougall has not returned Guido’s calls.”
Off to a good start then.
Who would?
Dennis Skinner for you…
Whitehall 1212 – blimey just how old are you? Haven’t heard that for years and years…

Next time, it will be knitting needles, a large piece of agricultural plastic sheeting, and some WD40.
Red holdalls easier. ( before rigor mortis sets in )
Is Rigor Mortis near Lyme Regis, dear? That’s where I had my honeymoon, and Granddad was stiff for the whole 2 weeks… bless.
Even without the Bliar name you know Mcdougall’s only in it for the dough!
Less of your floury language please.
was there any knead for that?
Using one’s loaf is always preferable. Don’t get crusty.
That’s it, roll out the usual clichés. You just have to sort out the wheat from the chaff, and work out which side your bread is buttered on. I propose a toast to his future.
With all these state sector appointments he lands, it’s clear that his toast lands butter-side-up.
Oh, just baguette.
Are you all trying to get a rise out of me?
You are all Ciabatty
That’s the yeast of our troubles. You can only say what you can prove, slice it as thin or as thick as you like.
Crumbs !
Stroll on !
A lot of people wish I was pan bread.
Mostly they wish you were brown bread.
Anyone political with ‘Blair’ in their name should be avoided like the Plague.
He was chair of Scottish Labour students and Glasgow Uni Labour club so pretty sure he is actually scottish
Why then, no to setting Scotchland adrift with their 0.3% negative? All the more that he’s scotch eh Jimmy?
Tells you all you need to know about the Pasty Boy in #10 that he would rather have a Scotch git called Blair in the tent than any ‘toxic’ Conservative. I shall enjoy seeing him digging his own grave – unless Leveson gets to him first.
Wasn’t all this Labours bright idea in the first place, give Scotland its own regional assembly, thinks curry favour and votes north of the border with a talking shop faux Parliament, and now it’s all out of control like a re-make of Braveheart in which William Wallace this time is encouraged by the entire populace of the rest of the union to take Scotland (off our backs) and fuck-off. Frantic backtracking now.
The Scots will never vote to be free of the English taxpayer teat only to become a third world region of the EU.
They will however extract more devolution out of the soft southern millionaires in the ConLabLib party – so they will get independence of sorts, only with the English picking up the bigger bills.
Cameron – what an absolute joke the man is.
Miliband – how is that Deed of Variation tax avoidance working out for you?
Clegg – takes a pension from a foreign power & can only claim it if he tows their line.
Traitors, hypocrits & pygmys.
Will you be applying for the “Groceries Code Adjudicator” role…Priceless
Surely it should be the “Groceries Code Tsar”
You must all be sooooo proud

Max £5k fine. That’s curtains then
Isn’t justice quick
We’re talking about the re-trial.
Because if one retrial results in a successful conviction it will be worth tearing up 800 years of double jeopardy protection (from a potentially corrupt ruler/government) for the rest of the population.
“That Clinton…he was a card. “
oh no, not another bleedin’ heart labour story ….FFS – it’s the tory/libs coalition by the stars for the stars what’s in power innit?

well a good start for SNP–he failed to get david milliband elected as labour leader in a 2 horse race

There is to be a new film about the Scotland. Staring Gordon Brown.
Working title – “Bravehart saves the world.”
Its written by Johan Hari, the new American super screenwriter, who’s now totally into, like, you know, USA and shit, man..
Scene 1. Act 1. A fat, old, semi-disabled looking man in a cheap suit and a kilt stands on a glen, or a kairn, or a kop or whatever the hell a hill is called up there.
“Scotchland for the scotchlanders!”
He lifts his kilt to reveal a blue cross of Lorraine painted on his bum!
“Fiiiieeefffffddoooommmmmmmmmm! Fiefdom for Labour!” shouts out William Wallet-take to an adoring crowd of peasants, and agricultural labour supporters
Then a man who looks a lot like Shrek comes up and says ‘ah dinna thunk sew little man’ and hits him in the nuts with an axe. Shrek takes another few handfuls of electoral seats off the writhing in agony McDoom.
Scene 2 – The BBC Herald blows the 10 o’clock news and a messenger declares victory for Labour.

Is Downing Street now instigating an Inspector Clousseau ploy?
This McDougall if previous Campaign Organiser for the failed Miliband approach would appe@r to hold all the ideal credentials to thwart the No vote, rather than promote it.
It is hardly surprising given the path of Dave’s present “Tory”? administration that he now seeks support from a spin merchant from the opposing camp.
Inspector Clousseau ploy?
Are you insinuating that Nick is really Kato?

“Britain treats Europe like a self-service restaurant’ claims Francois Hollande”
That’s sauce for you.
Unusually for a frenchman I suspect he does not have a mistress!
Isn’t that how his present wife started out?
lol did not know that
So in the words of UKIP’s illustrious founder, he has created a job vacancy?
Hollande is a gift to UKIP – just like Cameron.
Vote UKIP
Sod off Sophie luv & change the record. Boring is too kind a word for you!
Sophie is right though. A whiney arsed French socialist moaning continually about the British, is voter gold for UKIP. Keep it up Hollande, we love it!
It’s the worst managed and most expensive self-service restaurant I’ve ever been in.
‘Keep your head up’: David Cameron’s text to Rebekah Brooks days after she resigned over phone-hacking is revealed
and………. your point is………..?
Flacid
Head up what? Her arse? Mind you Cameron had it up there for so long did he really need to text her. Toff Twat
Dennis Skinner can fuck off
playing Mr Punch is no job for a man
He’s got more about him than Call me Dave ffs.
Much as I dislike Cameron. Pretty much anyone can see that Skinner is a one trick throwback to the political dark ages. Given what we know about the failure, terror and full horror of Marxism, how can anyone with a brain, still be an unreconstructed Marxist in the 21st century?
Skinner is a bit like an embarrassing old pet dog whose back legs have gone and has to be carried in and out of the back garden to have a shit.
I was hoping that the Queen was going to open with “And Mr. Skinner can’t be here, as he’s been sent to live down a mine. No you can’t visit him, but he’s very happy there. And he also knows that if he does try to come back, I’ve got the White Fiat Uno keys in my handbag!”
I see the QS has made you all happy…..LOL
Not as much as QE but thanks anyway
pip pip
I still think that bum sex is SOOOO progressive, – and very rewarding in terms of votes!
Around 2% of the population is actively gay, yet Cameron courts the gay vote assiduously.
Likewise, the tiny extreme fringe Green party, has around 250,000 core voters. Yet Cameron can’t stop pandering to their economic insanity.
You have to ask yourself why, when there is so little potential return, does he fall over himself to wring votes out of the fringes of these fringe groups and at the same time ignore and deride millions of Conservatives, who with the right message, could gift him easy victory.
The only conclusion you can draw is, Cameron is not a Conservative at all and he want’s conservatism to be replaced with progressive fabianist socialism.
NONSENSE…!!!!!! only 1% of population “”claim”" to be gay. Gay Pop is less than 0.50%. Less than 500,000 in UK. Hardly a Pink pound

Former Purnell SpAd and David Miliband campaign organiser Blair McDougall has been approached to run the pro-Union “No” campaign against Scottish independence.
Tee hee.
Some might say Cameron’s heart isn’t really in this ‘No’ campaign.
He is actually Scottish. He used to be the chair of Scottish Labour Students and has a scottish accent.
An SNP insider told Guido “never heard of him…”
This COULD mean that the SNP insider knows sod all about people outside his own narrow little world…
