Alexander agent says ‘thick women’ jibe a joke
Wendy Alexander's election agent, Paisley councillor Terry Kelly, was under fire yesterday following an exchange on his website in which he dubbed women "thick".
Councillor Kelly maintains his own personal website which included a recent exchange with a female visitor who asked: "Why are no women allowed to comment here? You've mentioned one being banned, you've called a black woman a liar for talking about racism but then no others have been allowed to comment. Councillor, are you a sexist?"
Councillor Kelly responded: "You have just perfectly demonstrated why, it's because they are thick."
The fact that Councillor Kelly has been Ms Alexander's election agent has prompted criticism from opponents.
SNP MSP Christina
McKelvie said: "This is an appalling statement from Councillor Kelly and shows how out of touch the Labour party are.
"This kind of comment should have been left in the 1970s. Yet again Wendy Alexander's judgment has to be questioned. After losing one spin doctor in disgrace and breaking the law with her selection campaign it seems like her election agent is determined to add to her woes.
"I hope that she and the Labour Party will have the good grace to apologise."
A Labour spokesman pointed out that Mr Kelly had already announced his intention to give up his position as election agent to Ms Alexander, adding: "Terry Kelly has said his comments were a joke and should be treated as such. His blog makes clear that comments are not the views of the Labour Party or anyone other than himself."
Councillor Kelly told his local newspaper: "Everyone who knows me knows that I am not sexist. I've lived for years with my wife and daughter and I wouldn't dare be
sexist with them as far as women are concerned.
"I've worked with women councillors and women from all walks of life during my many years as a local politician. I've always respected women and always will do.
"It's a sorry state of affairs when using humour or irony in some of my replies is
regarded as sexist."

This donations scandal must be a right old mess if its taking the Electoral Commission so long to investigate a supposed simple mistake.

"[italic]Has anybody here seen Kelly[/italic] ?" Oh, I mean Wendy, that's it ...."Wendy red, red robbin comes bob bob bobbin along ..."
Dumbarton Rock Baillie was a hoot on Newsnicht.

"Wendy Alexander's election agent, Paisley councillor Terry Kelly, was under fire yesterday following an exchange on his website in which he dubbed women "thick"."
He works for Bendy, probably knows Jackie, Pauline and Cathy, the man must have being commenting from personal experience. He just needs to get out more and meet women who are not thick. This should not be too difficult , mind he may have to look outside his party.

Anyone putting such comments on a public blog is an idiot, When that person is an elected Councillor and the agent for the Leader of the Scottish wing of his party, his actions will soon be found in Wikipedia under the definition of [bold]:"incredibly THICK".[/bold]

Anyone who runs a blog should know that what appears in text can be different from what is spoken. If you don't understand that then he is thick.
But we have heard this all before. Excuses being rolled out to try to limit damage. Making rude comments about ladies at you diner table, to staff at a function, and calling the FM a ****, then you must be tired and suffering from exhaustion. If you accept illegal donations, even although your husband has queried it's legality, then it was "unintentional".
Do they think the voters are thick too?

For Chrissakes, give the man a break! He must be the only honest politician Labour has got! Every female politico of the Labour persuasion is a numpty, the imbecilic Alexander proves that.
All you dungaree-wearing harridans need to get over yourselves, find a man and get pregnant, that's what the Good Lord created you for.

Women are thick , that is a fact ,pure and simple. Women are good at two things, buying clothes, and gossiping on the telephone to there girlfriends about the latest nailcare varnish product. Fact.
Also women are very good at multi tasking. They can wash the dishes, iron the shirts, breast feed the baby,make the dinner, be on the telephone,and knit a fair isle sweater all at the same time.
They are like a flipping octupuss.
The best place for women is in the kitchen. Its genetic. Millions of years ago, man went out to work to hunt for food while the women folk stayed around the camp fire wittering on about the latest fashion. Thats how babies learn to speak by copying there mothers. Women are very good at talking ( nagging ) But 99% of it is of no importance or value.
Just watch Loose Women on ITV 12.30pm.
4 witches from McBeth witter on about God knows what for 60 minutes. Its all talk but nothing much is being said.Men on the other hand discuss and debate about the great affairs of state, war and peace, life and death , world politics. Women gossip about fashion, the latest diets and George Clooney.
Man has created civilisation and all the inventions that we have today. If women ruled the world , they would probably be still in the bathroom putting on there make up. If you look into the fashion industry, women are even useless at that. All the fashion designers are gay men. same with the food industry , all the chefs are men not women.
Finally, women give the impression that they are all lovey dovey. ( thats all bullshittt ) Women are very cold , devious manuliptive, ruthless, creatures , they are genetically programmed to have babies by the tiime their 35 , Their body clocks are ticking so like sharks they have to hunt out a rich or well off guy as a husband. The guys personality and looks do not matter so long as hes rich because the bottom line is this, a woman pregnant and looking after the kid for the next 10 years. She needs a sugar daddy to look after her.
Ps. How is it when a woman divorces a man, she gets 50% of the guys wage packet. How does that work.
Just look at cold calculating, gold digger Heather Mills and Paul McCartney. He's been taken to the cleaners by that bitchh.
But as the old saying goes '' Love is blind. ''
Mens lives are basiclly F**ked because they have to make there woman ( bitchh) happy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A thought has come into my head just thinking about this subject. Women actually dont want marriage. What woman really want is a wedding so that she can wear that white wedding dress (Its the ultimate girls fantasy plus they probably want a pony as well) and of course access to the mans wallet.

How can Terry Kelly claim that all women are thick when he's had the prviledge to work alongside such intellectual giants as Wendy Alexander, Jackie Baillie and Cathy Jamieson?

I'm no supporter of Labour (the word thick could have been invented to describe most of their spokespeople), but I'm prepared to accept that this Kelly chap was attempting to be funny rather than malicious. The written word sometimes lacks the body language necessary to convey the jocular nature of the humour. Some people are far too quick to take offence.
I'd let this one go and concentrate on the far more serious matter of making sure Wendy doesn't escape from Cornton Vale.

I am not convinced by Robbie Dinwoodie's political journalism. He is simply trading a recent smear with a jibe in order to show that when it comes to throwing mud he is somehow fair and equitable. All it proves is that he is a fully paid up member of the gutter press.

Hi Wullie Aberdeen
You can talk about nuclear power, nuclear war, global warming, politcal intrigue at the highest places but now you are in dangerous country.
Never get the lassies mad; in Greek Mythology, when Gods or Goddesses decided to kill someone, the Goddess had a much higher kill ratio!
By the way, was your wife Glasgwegian?

Of course Kelly will be resigning as Wendy's election agent - last time around he forgot to vote; he claimed he was too busy standing outside a polling station to remember to vote!

[italic]This donations scandal must be a right old mess if its taking the Electoral Commission so long to investigate a supposed simple mistake.[/italic]
I think the real reason they are taking so long is that they hope if they wait long enough, people will forget and the situation will be calm enough to announce that they are taking no action.
I also think their investigation is linked to their deliberations over the afffair down south and the whole thing will be another whitewash. If so the Electoral Commision will be left without a shred of credibility.
No! We won't forget!

James is right. What is going on is nothing less than a scandelous coverup. I think that the electoral commision will be using the Independent Police Complaints Commision as its role model;
if they can justify/whitewash the murder of an innocent man then........

A summary of the cockup, corruption, and silliness surrounding Wendy Alexander so far:
She's admitted accepting an illegal overseas donation for her leadership campaign. Her only defence has been to plead ignorance, which of course is no real defence in law.
She's claimed public expenses for money given to a front company, Computers for Labour, for software which is available free to all MSPs
She lost her first spin doctor because he couldn't stand working with her.
The second(!!) spin doctor resigned, because he seemed quite happy calling the FM a **** at an awards ceremony.
The third(!!!) spin doctor has been openly contemptuous of her in his own blog.
The fourth(!!!!) one she hired changed his mind about joining her team after accepting the job.
Her husband is happy with the economics of an independent Scotland.
The Paisley North constituency chairman at the time of her election, has subsequently been sacked by his council employers for falsifying timesheets.
Now, it turns out her election agent in Paisley is a blatant sexist.
Um ,have I missed any? How long has this list to get before her position becomes untenable?

BREAKING NEWS!
[quote]Work and Pensions Secretary Peter Hain will be forced to admit that he failed to declare thousands of pounds in donations to his Labour deputy leadership campaign, it has been reported.
According to The Guardian newspaper, the scale of the under-reporting is such that some political sources believe his political future could be at stake unless he can show it was down to the chaos within his campaign team and there was no deliberate attempt to conceal the payments.
While Mr Hain has declared £82,000 in donations, the newspaper said that the true total was likely to be "well in excess" of £100,000. It said that no donations had been declared after May 4 last year - six weeks before the end of the campaign.[/quote]

Wullie in Eberdeen, you are my hero. Well said.
A man stopped at his favorite watering hole after a hard day's work to relax. He noticed a man next to him ordered a shot and a beer. The man drank the shot, chased it with the beer and then looked into his shirt pocket.
This continued several times before the man's curiosity got the best of him. He leaned over to the guy and said, "Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice your little ritual, why in the world do you look into your shirt pocket every time you drink your shot & beer?"
The man replied, "There's a picture of my wife in there, and when she starts looking good, I'm heading home!"

On a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning.
One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on Earth to be memorable! I've had plenty of sex in my life, but no one has ever made me really feel like a woman! Well I've had it! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN??"
For a moment, there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril, and they all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane.
Then, a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel like a woman," he says.
He's gorgeous. Tall, built, with long, flowing black hair and jet black eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time. No one moves.
The woman is breathing heavily in anticipation as the stranger approaches. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her, and extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling woman, and whispers:
"Iron this."
Wullie, women have smaller feet than men so they can stand closer to the kitchen sink.

Maybe the delay over Wendy is in the hope that they can detect the mole, then they make it a legal affair and some smart lawyer can then start to discredit the mole publicly and therby hope to discredit any evidence they may have or have given.
Did anyone else pick up on the comment on Newsnight last night that this was being handled from south of the border, I thought the commision had a Scottish Office?
I would also like to know why, when the connection was made (right from the beginning), between the commisions Murray Elder, in whatever capacity and Wendy Alexander, that a public statement was not put out saying that he would have no involvement in this inquiry, if only to protect themselves from speculation on this point, this would have been the common sense thing to have done and the fact that they didn't ,does not fill me with confidence.
I hope that this will not be another case where it is thought that one rule can apply for unionists like Wendy and another for the rest.

A Scotsman asked his wife to try anal sex. She said, "Okay. After you."
A survey of Scottish men and their sex techniques has shown they are poor performers in bed and no better on the couch.
A Scotsman thought casual sex meant he didn't have to wear a tie.
A Scots girl was asked what she fantasized about when her man made love to her and she said, "I don't really have the time."
A Scotsman called Sheridan enjoyed group sex but never knew who to thank.
A Scotsman went to see his doctor about preamture ejeculation but crapped his load and left early.
Some Scotsman think dirty sex is akin to voting for the SNP.
A Scotsman likes a women who likes him for what he is pretending to be.
