BarnacleBob Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) A bit of a stooshie going on up here regarding the use of music for political purposes...I can def hear the similarity but how close is too close? [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-18602260"]http://www.bbc.co.uk...otland-18602260[/url] Also the SNP/Independance group did not seek permission to use the tune.] according to BC ( the other BC ) [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-18594520"]http://www.bbc.co.uk...litics-18594520[/url] BB Edited June 26, 2012 by BarnacleBob Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 There's enough music that doesn't sound like it at all that there is no excuse. Quote
icastle Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) What a surprise. The 'authorised' version is used by the 'yes' to independance party whilst the nicked version has the Westminster crowd behind it. Big vote winner that, southerners nicking a Scottish bands music and claiming they haven't. Just when I thought politicians couldn't get any more blatantly thick... EDIT: Or have I got the parties back to front? Edited June 26, 2012 by icastle Quote
BarnacleBob Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 Panties or parties asides , it is quite easy! The Pro independants are accused of stealing the original and the anti independants are accused of stealing the original.......... BB Quote

Sorry to get a bit technical, but there you go. Quote

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Hilarious to see Alex Salmond at the end clapping totally out of time. We have punters like that - they're usually the ones we later see falling over in the street as they make their way home. Quote

WHUFC BASS Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 There's nothing more embarrassing than seeing a politician trying to interact with music of any description. They are completely clueless and even more embarrassing when they are asked what their favourite bands are. I think it should be a pre-requisite that anyone wanting to be a politician should be automatically banned from becoming a politician. Parliament - a bad soap opera with a cast of ugly bad actors.
