Last night (Thursday) was the third meeting of 2014 held by YES Nairnshire and featured SNP Euro candidate Stephen Gethins. It was very interesting in the light of recent comments from Jose Manuel Barruso about how he saw Scotland's chances of joining the EU, to hear a response locally from one of the SNP's Euro election contestants. Stephen, whose mother hails from Auldearn, contends that we are all EU citizens already and there are no mechanisms in place to take that citizenship away. In his speech and the question and answer afterwards he also made several other relevant points. He didn't have it all his own way though and there was some forensic examination from one of the members of the public present.
Here's the speech which lasted around 20 minutes. A longer Question and Answer video is still loading up onto Youtube and will be available sometime later today.
Please note we have featured details of all YES Nairnshire meetings held so far this year, if anyone is planning holding any Better Together events in Nairnshire please let us know at info@gurnnurn.com, we would be happy to video your meetings too.

Has this guy ever had a proper job ?
ReplyDeleteWhy are you asking?
ReplyDeleteHas Ed Milliband?
Or David Cameron?
Or Nick Clegg?
Young Mr Gethins has had several!
Has he ever had a job outside politics or the EU gravy train ?
ReplyDeleteYou know, like joiner, shopworker, lorry driver, manufacturing, offshore worker ?
This is my issue with politics - it's infested with professional politicians with no experience of a world outside Westminster or Brussels
Now if it was Connor Gethins, he'd get my vote !
ReplyDelete@ Working Class Hero, This observer is not au fait with the chancellor's CV prior to politics so sources for that would be helpful. In the meantime here's your link to Stephen Gethin's CV

ReplyDeleteSeems a sound guy to me
ReplyDeleteEd Millipede - professional North London politico, SPAD
ReplyDeleteDave Camoron - SPAD, PR man (still is)
Nick Clegg - Lobbysist, MEP
Gideon Osborne - Towel Folder at Selfridges
Mr Gethins - SPAD to Salmond, EU jobs on Brussels gravy train
Not a normal job between the lot of them. Towel folding excepted.
Stephen certainly is
ReplyDeleteAh the SPAD word - "Government special advisor" and no longer "Signal passed at Danger?"
