SNP worse than dodgy King, says Home SecretaryBy Sir Sickov Hydinet CBE MBE LMFAO, our Royal Correspondent An SNP/Labour pact would be 'more dangerous to England than a Nazi King', the Home Secretary Theresa May has warned. Her interjection into the General Election campaign came as a poll showed a small recovery for the Conservatives, but still predicted a hung parliament. “Not since 1936, when King Edward VIII was forced to abdicate due to his political sympathies' and those of his fiancée Wallis Simpson, has England's ruling class faced such a crisis.” she said in a press conference yesterday. “It was unacceptable for the English to be ruled by a Nazi back then, and it's still unacceptable today. It would be the biggest constitutional crisis since – oh I don't know – the Norman invasion. Labour in Scotlandshire to launch new Committee On Satirical ActivitiesBy Lass Ditch, our Faux Outrage Correspondent The Labour Party in Scotland have announced they are to set up a new committee to investigate instances of satire in political life. The committee, to be chaired by ex Govan MP Ian Davidson, will be known as the Committee On Satirical Activities, or COSA for short. The move follows the revelation made in First Minister's Questions by Labour's Deputy Dugdale that many Scottish politicians and their supporters are avid followers of political satire. Individuals are expected to be called before the committee to be interrogated on their choice of reading materials. They will be asked questions like: "Are you now, or have you ever been, a satirist or a fan of satire?" Farage interview on UK Politics plagued by delaysBy Mike Tuppenlagd, our Outside Broadcast Manager The BBC would like to apologise to viewers following this morning's edition of the Daily Politics show, in which an interview with UKIP leader Nigel Farage by Andrew Neil was marred by long transmission delays [ED: Can we use Andrew Marr's surname as a synonymn for 'f**ked up'?] The result of the long delay was that Andrew was already well into his followup question before the answer to his initial query was heard by viewers. This made it difficult for the programme's audience to follow the interview, a problem compounded by the fact that many of them were UKIP voters. The BBC's technical unit has now produced a transcript of the interview with accurate timestamps, allowing interested viewers to reconstruct the interview as it should have been aired. Some, however, may find the text to be more accurate and revealing if the timestamps are simply ignored.

On Tuesday the battle bus broken down for the first time in what was seen as a suitable quip of campaign fate for the beleagured Liberal Democrats. Yesterday an embarrassed Nick Clegg had to thumb a lift from a couple of passing students in what Mr Clegg would later describe as "an immaculate and modern Datson 120Y". Ed Miliband defends Project Fear II to Anne DrumarBy Anne Drumar, our Token Professional Journalist The following is a transcript of an interview by Anne Drumar with Scottish Labour's duty manager, Ed Miliband. This is the third of a series of experimental interviews by Ms Dumar, who has been employed by BBC Scotlandshire in an attempt to combat a tiny number of accusations of BBC bias which have been levelled at the corporation by a few of the swivel-eyed separatist malcontents who seem to form half the electorate these days. The BBC senior management wants to determine if the addition of a single balanced, neutral and (dare I say it) professional journalist will defuse future accusations of political partisanship. Disclaimer: This is an experiment in broadcasting. BBC Scotlandshire takes no responsibility whatsoever for any opinions or policy statements expressed in these interviews.

Oil find in Dorset 'a terrible burden' says Treasury chiefBy Olly O'Fillick, our Energy correspondent The estimated size of an oil find near Gatwick Airport has been upgraded to 100 billion barrels. UK Oil & Gas Investments (UKOG) said the Horse Hill-1 well in the Weald Basin was now thought to hold 158 million barrels per square mile. UKOG described the find as a possible “world class” resource with the potential for “significant daily oil production”, but insisted it would be a “disaster for the economy” of Southern England. “Discovering huge amounts of oil is a terrible burden on any one country”, says Prof Iprefer Cash of Gatwick University. “it distorts your economy and leads to huge volatility. “The only solution is to find another country, preferably a neighbouring one, who can take over the exploitation of the oil on your behalf. Then it becomes a boon.” Media stunt implicates Scottish Secretary in Nikileaks scandalBy Quentin Limpbiskitt, our MI6 correspondent Digital enhancement of a photograph of Scottish Secretary Alisdair Carmichael has produced the clearest evidence to date of his involvement in the Nikileaks conspiracy to damage the electoral prospects of the SNP. The image, taken during a photo-op where Mr Carmichael attempted to distance himself from the leaked 'memo' and to play down its importance, clearly showed a document in his inside pocket. Through a process known as 'digital super dooperenhancement', which was first demonstrated on the popular US sitcom CSI, the contents of this document have been rendered readable. Election 2015: Jim Morphy denies 'preferring Cameron'By John McTearwan, Chief of Staff at Nikileaks Scottish Labour leader Jim Morphy has denied a newspaper's claim he told a German diplomat he would prefer David Cameron in No 10 over Ed Miliband. The Daily Telegraph published a Scotland Office memo claiming the Labour MP privately said Labour's leader was not "PM material". Mr Morphy said in a tweet the story was "definitely, unquestionably, palpably, indubitably, honestly, 1000% untrue". German officials said he did not express a preference for PM but the Labour party said the report was "damning". Play Electoral Pacman in the streets of StornowayBy Commodore Stu Campbell ATA RI, our Ancient Video Games Correspondent As we approach the General Election in May, Dundee games developers Rock Steady Polls have just released a new video game which is dripping with political intrigue and campaign fun. Set in the Hebridean hamlet of Stornoway, the game has a haunting similarity to the classic arcade game Pacman, but this time features an SNP canvasser tramping the mean streets of the city in search of votes. However, as in real life, finding new SNP supporters is the easy part. Our hero must also sign up new members (cherries) while avoiding the Labour candidate Alasdair Morrison (in red) and all three of his island Activists. The developers have cast the Labour guys as ghosts in honour of the imminent death of their party in Scotlandshire. The spectral SLab four desperately pursue our man round the town, chanting: "the largest party always gets to form the government: FACT", while tearing down his posters and trying to steal his canvass returns before they can be added to the Activate database. |
