[QUOTE]Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy and comedian Eddie Izzard were heckled by opponents during general election campaigning in Glasgow. There were scuffles involving Labour Party supporters and their opponents in the city centre. Protesters, who played loud music and shouted "Red Tories out", drowned out Mr Murphy as he tried to speak. Some of the protesters were waving SNP leaflets, while Mr Murphy was branded a "traitor" and a "warmonger". The protest was organised by Sean Clerkin, who described his group as "anti-austerity campaigners". He told the BBC that details of the event had been passed to him by a disillusioned member of the Labour Party in East Renfrewshire. The Scottish Labour leader said: "This sort of aggressive nationalism should have no place in our election. We've got a few days until we can kick David Cameron out of office, a few days to change our country forever and we won't be silenced by this form of aggressive nationalism, it's anti-democratic." He added: "This isn't the type of Scotland we want." Mr Izzard said: "It's ok having different opinions, but everyone should be able to put their opinion forward. This aggressive, this violent emotion, why violence? Don't have violence, we should just put our point of view forward and then everyone makes their choice on Thursday."[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-scotland-32581803[/url] [IMG]http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/media/images/82754000/jpg/_82754220_hi027048100.jpg[/IMG]

woah [img]http://i.imgur.com/yuxA26s.png[/img] mental, surprised they didn't bring out the riot police with beanbag guns and fire hoses
Also violence? They heckled him, it's not like they fucking chibed him.
this is barely even bad to be honest
apparently there were literally only 5 protesters and this big a deal is being made lmao
[QUOTE=Marzipas;47657457]apparently there were literally only 5 protesters and this big a deal is being made lmao[/QUOTE] Of course it is, it's Murphys last desperate attempt to shout "muh nationlists!" and "muh free speech!" before everyone relegates him to political obscurity.
I didn't see anything nationalist about it. The message was anti austerity and anti austerity. And it was tiny and hardly violent. Such sensationalism.
at this point if it started raining while jim murphy was campaigning, he'd blame it on the snp
