AMAZINGLY THEY ACTUALLY TURNED SOMEONE DOWN

This is a corker!

Probably there to spot the "bear" faced lies, this fellow joined the
pensioners afternoon out.
Well, it's warm and free, and you get a cup of tea and a biscuit
and a "blether together" about the good old days
 when they sent little boys up lums.

A Tory-supporter was banned from the party’s Scottish conference because he backs independence.

Henry Christian had his application for the conference rejected when the organisers discovered that he had campaigned with Yes Scotland.

He has been a party member since he was a teenager; he stood in Edinburgh for the Tories in the 2012 council elections and he was, until it folded, vice chairman of Edinburgh West Conservatives.

Mr Christian, who is now 41 was, not surprisingly, very angry at how he had been treated, especially in light of the fact that the Tories had sent out invitations to people in the area of the conference, whether or not they were members of the party, in an effort to fill empty seats.

He has been an independence supporter since the 1980s and has not previously been banned from conferences.

A Scottish Conservative spokesman said that the Party reserved the right to refuse admission to any applicant. You’d not have thought though, desperate as they are to get bums on seats, that that would have included someone who was considered good enough to stand for the council in their name. Specially not when they happy to invite Alistair Darling to address them last year!

That worked well... My recollection was
that she closed anything that was open

According to the Sunday Post people living in the EH3 postcode area of Edinburgh were invited to the conference in a bid to fill up the auditorium, which had rows of empty seats even when Cameron was speaking.

And this is the party that we didn't vote for, but which overall runs our country and which, in government, runs around the world preaching about democracy.

They wouldn't recognise it if it bit them on their collective fat cat posteriors.

But Mr Christian, I can tell you, from what I've heard, you missed nothing, except a succession of public school toffs from London telling us how difficult they would make life for us after independence (whilst knowing perfectly well that they wouldn't), and regurgitating already disproved scare stories about the EU, borders, barbed wire, etc...

It was a bucket full of negativity and deceit!

Even the star turn couldn't fill more than the front
and they are mostly MPs and MSPs

But, then again, if you've been to a Scottish Tory conference before, you'd have been expecting it.

For those who want to see just how pathetic the turn out was for wee Ruth Stuart has posted these photographs of what the BBC has described (for some odd reason, not perhaps unconnected with Chris Paten, "resurgent". If that's it resurging, I'd hate to have seen it on a decline.
