Margo

[Stax]

Documentary on Margo Macdonald on just now. Bring a tear to a glass eye. Some woman and a great wee section on her passion for Hibs. GGTTH

[down-the-slope]

been watching - some good stuff (Rods Cameo a bit predicable) but I did leave me feeling it will be sad if independence is achieved and she is not there to see it

Thought exactly this, whatever your views are I defy anyone not to be moved by her passion and vision.

[monktonharp]

enjoyed watching it. and sure it gives an impression to all who did not realise what a natural politician with the guts to stick to her convictions ,she was. Scotland's loss.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Missed that, what side was it on? Hope it's on catch up.

[jodjam]

Like many I guess , I'm proud to say I voted for her as an independant candidate. A great woman

Cheers I watch that tonight.

[lapsedhibee]

Anyone know how and when Margo became a Hibee?

[Moulin Yarns]

I'm listening to the comemmoration on the BBC right now. Brilliant, and lost count of the number of times Hibs have been mentioned already.

[jdships]

Yes : enjoyed the programme which was a good " take" on the lady !
I was a friend for just over twenty five years and one of my fondest recollections of her will always be that no matter that we were polls apart politically it never was a problem in our friendship.
With a pawky even " biting" wit you were never bored in her company . She used to wind me up regularly by calling me " Johnny Boy " which she knew I disliked ! :rolleyes:

Miss her already and always will !!

" WHEN WILL WE SEE HER LIKES AGAIN ? "

Just back from the service.

Was lovely, and I held it together until SOL. :greengrin

[Mikey09]

A lady with the kind of passion, ambition and leadership qualities our club could have done with. :not worth

Favourite was when Deek sliced Skacel in half, and Margo reckoned "he hardly touched him". :greengrin

Beautiful

So glad that music was played today. Well done the Proclaimers. Love it.

Strange how a piece of music can 'almost' bring a 6 foot hairy Scotsman to tears. ( cough cough ....)

I'm 6'3" and very hairy and it had me blubbing like a wee lassie.

[heidtheba]

Not in agreement with quite a few of the things she was pro, but I voted for her because I totally respected her as a person and as a politician. She was a well spoken, fiercely passionate conviction politician. I just wish there were more like her, or more who used her as an example. Also she was often in my local area and, as a person who I only said a 'hello' to with a wee nod, she was cheerful and very personable. Personally I think that UK politics especially would benefit from far more with her charisma, drive and honest dedication.

RIP Margo.

[heretoday]

How about a Margo Margo chant on Sunday? No disrespect to Jardine.

[.Sean.]

Her speech at the HoH gig a couple years ago was sensational. Hardly a dry eye in the Usher Hall.

[lucky]

Didn't agree with all her politics but very few politicians in Scotland come close to her when it came to representing people.

[Aldo]

Just watched that with the hairs on the back of my neck standing up and a tear running down my face.

(My all time favourite Proclaimers tune)

[Last Minute]

cant find it on iplayer on my tv, what was the title of the program? newsnight ?

[rcarter1]

Was only vaguely aware of her before last night, but was moved by her story. Sad loss, incredible person! :flag:

[Danderhall Hibs]

Was it not after her daughter married a Proclaimer?

[lapsedhibee]

Ah yes, makes sense, ta. (Seemed a trifle odd that a girl from Lanarkshire who went to college in Aberdeen and got an MP job in Govan would support Hibs.)

:flag:

Im basing it on that she really was a clever person, hence why she was a hibee :greengrin

Remarkable woman, the programme last night was a great tribute to her, emotional. I had it in my head that she was born in Edinburgh.

[Golden Bear]

It looked like a wonderful and fitting tribute today. I saw Keith Brown ( the Transport Minister) sitting with his Hibs scarf on.

[heretoday]

I used to work with her on Radio Forth. She was very funny. No side to her at all.

[surreyhibbie]

Always admired her, thought she was amazing. Long before I found out she was a Hibby..

Only found out today she was Craig's mother in law.

RIP Margo. One of the best.

[bighairyfaeleith]

Cheers margo, give em hell wherever you are doll!

:top markssomewhere not sure where the generic posh **** politician with no care other than his own self worth was born, party optional. Margo was what a politician should be . UK politics/global politics all dancing to corporations and the super rich off the world. Indeed needs the benefit of more people politicians and governments. RIP

Will we do a minutes celebration on Sunday for margo?

Lovely Tribute today. Goodbye Margo, Scotland is a poorer place without you. :agree:

Hopefully we will see your dream come true, very sad that you will not.

Was looking at RP and STF at the service today and thinking the very same.

A joint one for her and Jardine would, IMO, be very fitting.

My source tells me there will be a minute's applause in memory of Margo and Sandy Jardine.
