stuart500 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Used to get on the 35 bus to Tynecastle in Stockbridge many years ago. Definitely was a Jambo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just common decency Spot on. Some shameful posts on this thread. Even Salmond and Sturgeon both paid warm tributes. The anonymity of social media turns some people into hate filled trumpets. If you don't like someone's politics, vote for someone else - simples. But respect everyone's right to their beliefs even if they dare to be different from your own. Far too many people just want to live in echo chambers nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely when a family loses a loved one political persuasions are irrelevant. Most of the tributes across the spectrum reflect that he was a decent human being.

Folk using RIP threads just to have a go at other posters. Totally lacking respect. No common decency, thats the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When politicians from all sides - including Alex Salmond & Nicola Sturgeon - pay tribute to his decency even though they were polar opposites politically, you wonder where some people get off on their ‘look at me’ posts.

Deodato Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Well, full marks to all the cheap-shots on JKB. As a councillor, Alistair Darling helped my mum and the Parents Teachers Association save Tollcross Primary School. As a chancellor, he helped secured all of our mortgages with 48 hours notice. It's easy to spout on JKB, but I would ask that when someone passes, we show our collective respects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Town Loafer Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 RIP. Despite my personal opinion that New Labour was the worst thing to happen to British society, he was one of the decent politicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To come out with that sick post over a respected former politician's death really shows a complete lack of class and human decency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
