The Labour Party is being remarkably coy about releasing the actual result of its Scottish accounting unit leadership election, giving only a percentage. The entirely complacent unionist media is complicit in what amounts to a deception. The stunning truth is that in a one person, one vote election among the entire membership of the Labour Party in Scotland plus trades union supporters, Dugdale won with 5,217 votes (out of a claimed electorate of 21,000, many of whom do not exist or could not be arsed to choose between two right wing numpties).
UPDATE: A second Labour figure just rang me to assure me my information – which was from a good source – is wrong. She would not give the actual figure and only said it was “higher”. I offered to take down the post and publish an accurate figure if she would give it, but this was declined.

What’s that supposed to prove ! The UK is full of ex-pat Russians, most have at least one of a myriad of axes to grind, with vested interests in seeing Putin removed, a man whom an absolutely staggering level of support among Russians who actually live in Russia ! The kind of genuine popular support that Western leaders can only wet dream about !
Your comment make me quite queasy as it brings to mind all those Iraqi stooges that were paraded around the West, demanding that bombs fall on their Country & fellow Iraqis.
@Dreoilin, keep going, don’t give up now, you know I’m worth it ! 😀
You give up too quick laddie!
Try to find your answer somewhere else, elections are not held in secret you know. There again this was a rhetorical question in the way of gloating and neeah neeah, wasn’t it laddie?

Who is conflating Putin and Russia now – if you don’t love Putin you cannot Russia seems to be your only argument. Since when have I argued that Russia should be bombed you stupid oaf.
Also very informative who is not prepared to let Les incredibles shit stand and those who prefer to attack those who don’t.
Putin’s popularity…couldn’t be anything like this, could it?

Perish the thought.
Resident incoherence, you are making less and less sense as your ire rises! Get yourself a glass of water and then kick the dog (FAO RSPCA this is in no way encouraging cruelty on dogs or any other animal, I know resident diss cannot have any pets as he was barred for life in his last court appearance for making the poor things suffer so much with his crap drivel)or shoo the cat.
The old; “we have a black neighbour in our street he looks just like us” is now replaced with I am marr….. the less charitable may even start entertaining thoughts about mail order and stuff!
Back to Putin, someone has to be standing up in the pissing contest that has blighted the twenty first century so far!
LOL ! Both war mongering propagandists are getting rattled & desperate ! 😀
Remember Ba’al, your country right or wrong !
I couldn’t be arsed, Macky. There’s an expression here, “I wouldn’t give you the steam off my p*ss”, and that’s how I feel about you and your two-facedness. So no, I won’t be putting in much more time.
“Remember Ba’al, your country right or wrong !”
One thing that is even worse than the unthinking people who think that their own country is always wrong and another country is always right based on its less than reputable leader. To say nothing of those who in their desperation attribute words to others that they have not actually said.
Indeed proof of Irish generosity no doubt!
Fedup
I worked in Russia for 5 years – and in that period paid more Russian taxes than Putin has in the last 5 years. I appreciate it may be beyond your comprehension and imagination that there may be people in Russia who love the country but disagree with the regime of its current leader – in your and Macky’s world love and hate of the leader and a country can never be at odds, and if they are your only response is a cognitive dissonance that exhibits itself in cheap insults. Please stop insulting peoples intelligence.
Projections, projections!!!!
The notions of dear leader is not any of my concern, however there is more than a hint that you like a supine Russia that is ran by the likes of democratically elected (I am rolling on the floor here and laughing away) Mr. Yeltsin!!!!!!
Fact that Putin has actually stood up to the warmongers in the West (about time too, because he could have done it far more earlier with much better results) has really irked you, because as we know you have other concerns such as zionistan right or wrong!
In a dynamic world those forces of reaction can only dam the progress of events so long before the deluge of change washes them off the face of the Earth. The results of the wars of choice as per the nostrum of the “defense of the realm” have proved the case of spectacular back fire.
You can fool some of the people some of the time. You cannot foo……………
Back to your concerns about tax dodgers in Russia, why don’t you hint at the tax dodgers closer home in UK? The very tax dodging elite whom are paying no taxes, so that the poor can be taxed more because it is good for the poor to contribute!
Resident Dissident; “To say nothing of those who in their desperation attribute words to others that they have not actually said.”
Ba’al/Komodo has more than once stated that he would ultimately back his country’s position over Russia regardless of anything, or words that mean the same; the question is, as he is amoral enough to disregard justice/rights of others/international law,etc and to indulge in demonising war-mongering, would he be able to confirm that this is indeed his stated position ?
@Dreoilin, Poor show ! Better luck next time, even if it would be the first ever, even after so many years of misrepresentations & lies !
😀 😀
“or words that mean the same”
Well they would to some people – might I advise some lessons in basic comprehension before trying to interpret the words of grown ups, especially those of the lizard variety.
Some more on Yevgenia Vasilyeva and how justice applies to those close to the Putin regime

How the Putinistas would howl if those close to the UK Government were to be treated in a similar fashion.
“however there is more than a hint that you like a supine Russia that is ran by the likes of democratically elected (I am rolling on the floor here and laughing away) Mr. Yeltsin!!!!!!”
Choices, choices – strangely enough I feel Russia deserves something better than a choice between a corrupt alcoholic and an even more corrupt KGB operative. I have never been a friend of Yeltsin and his oligarchs either – and I defy you to find anywhere that I have said otherwise. And I don’t like UK tax dodgers either as you appear to be projecting!

Comedy Gold Classic Irony ! 😀
I will advise you to hold your horses, because our ex-sqaddie friend seemed very proud whetever he proclaimed his “My Country, right or Wrong” pov !

Strangely enough there is no mention of Yevgenia Vasilyeva’s release yesterday on RT
http://www.rt.com/search/?q=Yevgeniya+Vasilyeva
Perhaps our resident Putinstas might wish to explain why their newsource of choice has failed us all?
Macky – we all know that you don’t do irony, so pretending that you do fools no one except possibly yourself.
Comprehension, comprehension!
Projecting?
I asked why don’t you concern yourself with our own tax dodging freeloaders whom verily believe in Saudi style of governance; whatever money the state has, is mine to spend as I personally wish!
You are worried about Putin not paying any taxes, well hopefully you can send the data you have gathered to someone in authority in Russia to prosecute Putin for none payment of taxes. However, would it not have been more profitable if you were as diligently perusing our own freeloaders who are selling everything that we ever owned and then evading any taxes on the proceeds of the their ill gotten commissions?
Although it seems you have understood that it is not being in love with Putin, if we wish to see and end to warmongering bastards activities in the Western leadership that has brought on such a graphic results as the torrent of Syrian refugees and the twice made refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, …….. that is whilst the detonations of the various ordinance are pumping all manner of toxins into the atmosphere, but that is noting to do with global warming.
“after so many years of misrepresentations & lies”
Keep it up Macky. Keep throwing false allegations at me in a stupid attempt to appear superior and know-it-all — but don’t forget to provide links, like I did, and am still trying to do. Because I know that all your misrepresentations are on record – and so do you.
And remember, I don’t try to pass myself off as a male, because I’m not ashamed of being female.
Now, to quote Ba’al recently, piss off. There’s a good little girl!

There’s an intelligence it is impossible to insult, and not in a good way. I think your good advice would be wasted even if Macky were not engaged in arguing with points that haven’t been made by anyone.
The conclusion emerging from its recent sniggers is that patriotism is a fine and noble thing when Putin does it on an industrial scale, at the expense of his neighbours, with a subservient judiciary and 95% coverage of the State media, but not for anyone else. Is that right, Macky? Or should I write that in little words for you?
“It could be a one-time nod to Soviet-era tactics. It could be insignificant, a small slight or clerical error.”
From your article Ba’al which appeared in March this year. I am not aware of Putin anti-Semitism before or after but you guys seem to read more about Putin than I do. I suggest it is an insignificant slight or clerical error, especially since according to the article her maiden name was given by Nemtsov as his mother’s name shortly before she died. The author has read too much into this.
