From the BBC website

The real reason why he has been imprisoned today is because he has fought injustice and inequality with every beat of his heart.

Of course dear. Nothing to do with telling porkie pies... 🙄

Great, I may actually be able to stop hearing about it on the Scottish "news" and they will find something more interesting to report on.

sorry organic but 'scottish news' and'interesting' is surely some form of oxymoron. not that there aren't interesting things happening in the scotland and the world beyond but not in the current bbc format (i can't do the hallucinogenic weirdness of the stv version) which i find is usually allong the lines of

government - the snp. they're great. (and when will brian taylor have a heart attack/stroke/spontaneously explode)

something happens to an old person somewhere. preferably in a hospital. or susbstitute with something about drugs and death, alcohol and death. the young. and death. and the snp. they're great.

the weather. it's cold in scotland. and there are midgies.

the sport. rrrrrrangers. cel'ic. a spot of andy murray. and cheery, cheery chappy dougie vipond

and to finish. the ginger beast and oor dougie share a wee joke. then a bit of whimsy. a seagull eats some crisps. a wee dog. a baldie wee child. with a wee dog.

and then the weather, which these days comes exclusively from someone pregnant.

I think, if the Met ever get round to investigating the phone hacking thing properly (they've obviously been very very busy of late - shagging environmentalists - that type of thing - its very time-consuming), a few of them may soon be joining him for fun and frolics in the showers

+1 for j_me

but yes dave, what's been going on in bbc scotland? are the weather forcasters so much in sync they need to be pregnant together? why has the scottish sun/notw not leapt on the amount of maternity pay that'll be getting spent? or is it just they're more in tune with the weather due to vibrations in their amnion? i think we should be told.

and in a better manner than

dv - thayr aw pregnant

jb - oh. dooogie.

dv - oh. jackie (smirks)

OI swiss01!! Don't dis the SNP!!! You'll upset TJ.

He reckons Alex Salmond is the Northern Hemisphere's answer to Hugo Chavez. Or Che Guevara. A Proper socialist revolutionary. And soon he'll be leading the glorious revolution, storming the barracades of The City to release us all from our capitalist oppressors. Uniting all nations behind his banner of equality! Throw off your chains!!! Bankers heads on spikes!!!! etc etc

That's right isn't it TJ? 😉

sorry organic, i do indeed mean the jackie. who does look good for her age but really, does need a few pies down her these days. (and being stw i have to stress that i mean actual pies made of food as opposed to some obscure euphemism) and maybe a little less on the orange.

but you have to allow for a certain comedic license. they are decent enough human beings in the flesh even if the birdie went and got married again instead of saving herself for me and dougie, let's face it, while doing a good job for cycling in scotland is basically a bit feart of his bike and far to fond of the inside of a van.

binners you could be right but that is supposing the the Met ever get round to it. It is a story that just wont go away.

Revenge / Justice where the NOTW and the rest of Murdochs empire is concerned I think they mean the same.

pigface, i think to buy into the notion that this was about the murdoch empire getting revenge is to buy into tommy s's foetid world of conspiracy theories and his own importance. he lied in court. and scottish courts don't like that. plus he torpedo'd his own party along with his own political colleagues for the sake of his own ego.

as for the snp binners, if tj wants to support a party that, whether he likes it or not, is implicitly prejudiced against his particluar geographic group, then that's his business. me, a party with nationalist in the title is always going to give pause. but, credit where credit is due, their stance on alcohol can't be said to be a vote winner yet they've, more or less, stuck by it, a position that gets more than a little support from my colleagues in nhsland. even the drunk ones.

i'd still like to see nicola sturgeon truning up on the night shift tho. but she won't. cos she's feart.

Really? Actually they are very inclusive. NO prejudice at all

Who said I support them anyway? I never have partly 'cos I don't.

oh tj, you've turned up. i was going to run away! but as you'll see i did include the 'if' word, as i had no prior knowledge of any of your..preferences.

as for no prejudice in the snp. i'm taking it you have to be being ironic here. true, they may talk the talk better than they used to but very inclusive? i think not.

Hairchested - from that link:

Sheridan then suggested that MI5, the Bush government, the SSP and Rupert Murdoch conspired to concoct the videotape to undermine his campaign for an independent socialist Scotland

Surely Shergar was also in on the plot as well as the Queen Mum and Claire Rayner, no ?

Tommy Sheridan gets 3 years, and they're going to give the vote to prisoners?

Watch out for a new political party!

After calling the last one Solidarity and having them all fight like cats in a sack perhaps they could call this new party Honesty.

Does this mean he will automatically have to pay the £200k back, or will the NOTW have to take him to court to reclaim the money?
I agree with J_me it's been the best soap in ages.

NOTW have already appealed, that being sisted (shelved) pending the outcome of the trial.

They just need to re-awaken that action, you'd think it's unlikely that TS would defend it (though I suppose he'll have a lot of free time on his hands and possibly little resources to lose) or that any Judge would rule against the NOTW.

A lawyer friend told me that because the NOTW appealed straight after the original case that the money wasnt paid out. However him being a lawyer Im not sure how much truth passes his lips 🙂

he never got the 200k due to the appeal. I think they then paid his best man 200k for the 'video' of his admission.

The NOTW probably had the video all along.
Led Tommy along and let him perjure himself in the first trial, then produced the evidence for the perjury trial.

Well played NOTW.

You show your ignorance. In the Scottish parliament Sheridan has one big achievement. An end to warrant sales for debt - a cruel and punitive system that he focussed all his efforts on and got changed.

No, they get justice.

While the original NOTW story did contain a fact...... it was also full of lies, many of which they subsequently had to retract in court. The truth in the story on its own wasn't newsworthy, regardless of whether Sherridan is likable or not. So NOTW had to pepper a true story about his legal, consenting, if somewhat saucy leisure activities, which are nobody's business but his own, with lies about illegal activities in order to make the story 'in the public interest'.

As it stands there should never have been a courtcase for Sherridan to purger himself at, as there should have been no story.

So the NOTW got a result of some sort but justice hasn't been served in any sense, and nobody comes out of this well

Just read the thread and point out your ignorance.

Sheridon is a twerp of the highest order - but he did actually achieve something to make the lives of some poor people better. Something not all politicians do especially those from minority parties

I know you have a huge chip on your shoulder with your parochial attitudes. However when you are factually incorrect then its right you are corrected.

He's a politician, I'm amazed that there's any doubt that he lied.

The only tragedy in this is that not enough of them are on trail for lying and being locked up.

If he was convicted of committing perjury in his first trial, surely he must have, by definition, have committed it in the second one as well? If you see what I mean.

But theres not anything wrong with orgies if you like that sort of thing. So whatever career you are in is exactly the right profession to have orgies. And as for qualifications - theres no entrance exam (so to speak) 🙂

As an 18yo apprentice and struggling to pay the rent AND the £28 a month the government demanded from my £200 a month salary.Tommy Sheridan was the one who made to poll tax unenforcable,by bringing an end to the practise of selling poor peoples furniture to bring in a fraction of what the wicked witch had decided they owed.This meant the Tory government were not going to get the arrears,which meant they had to find a new way to raise a "fair" tax based on the value of your (rented) property.
Sheridan was the focal point of this,going to prison for it eventually.
At the time he was the one person getting off his balhooky and doing something about it. (Alex the fish was too busy pressing flesh with Simple Minds to bother,rock against the poll tax,bet that scared them in England)

But....Power corrupts,and really;Anver Khan? Stupid man,who could have been remembered by my generation in the same breath as John McLean and Jimmy Reid,but will now forever be tarred with the same brush as Hamilton and Archer.

I'm sitting on the fence with this one, as much as i dislike politicians and the ego& celebrity of Sheridan, the NOTW & Sun are not exactly champions of freedom and justice and don't exactly go about their business in the most ethical way.
The NOTW doesn't use it's journalistic resource to pursue stories on inequality, crimes against humanity, bankers, big business tax avoidance- instead it concentrates on exposing sleazy titbits yet promoting sleazy tibits at the same time.

Phone tapping & boobs anyone?
