Mark Connolly Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 3 hours ago, HTG said: She will spin like a fucking top and then tell us all that Boris is the man. This will be followed by the inter-exchange of separation, Nicola Sturgeon, independence, divisive referendums. All the while conspicuously ignoring that her party are responsible for 100% of all recent divisive referendums. Boot. She'll hide from the media for a few days until the heat dies down first, which is another of her usual tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want independence, join the Tory party and vote Boris. Along with Brexit it will take it over the edge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravabelli Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 On 16/05/2019 at 16:17, The Skelpit Lug said: I've just had a look at Ruth's EU election leaflet. Well, I say EU election but it seems we're in the politics of fog. The usual fear of Sturgeon and obsession with indy and of course Nae Referendum, and little mention of it being a vote to elect MEPs. Wonder how many of the 60% who voted Remain will be swayed by that pile of rubbish? I realise the difficulty of a Leave party participating in the voting process, but that leaflet is dire. And as for Scottish Labour running with Corbyn's photo. Strange times, strange times. I’ve just done the same, 13 times Nicola Sturgeons name is mentioned on a single page campaign leaflet, absolutely obsessed! To be fair she’d be a nobody without Sturgeon and all she’s capable of is trying to discredit anything SNP. When she came on the scene I thought there was something about her but she’s nothing more than a snarling pit bull. John Humphries radio 4 interview when he called her out on the ‘brexiteer b*****ds ‘ quote had her squirming and showed her up as the bare faced liar she is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Can’t see Ruth staying on if she fails to become the first minister. She’ll either disappear into the backbenches of Westminster, or get a job at the BBC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's probably got a "Get Out of Jail Free" card for the upcoming Euros but she's set her aim high for the next Holyrood election and if she doesn't come a close second (I don't think she'll win) her star will start to wane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Events, dear boy'. Davidson must be devastated that her carefully cultivated image....that of avoiding any kind of difficult questioning and only appearing in public to say 'nae independence referendum'.....has been blown out of the water by the Brexit party and May offering a 2nd EU referendum . It would be a beautiful, wonderful irony if an increasingly extremist and right-wing Tory government in Westminster destroys the Tories in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will certainly find a way to spin in once the results are announced. The Spectator view of her as a "One nation" Tory will help her to stand as the Champion of British Nationalism. I know that historically the phrase had nothing to do with the concept of National Self determination. and is about opposing "Class politics", but she is good at spinning and flip flopping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can avoid doing anything before Thursday and if the next one is not till 2021 she will stick to the usual soundbites and photo opps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that the emergence of Farage and the Brexit nutters will cause Davidson and the Tories in Scotland all kinds of problems. Not just them losing support on Thursday, but the inevitable swing to the right that the Westminster party will take. Davidson must know that she's in danger of being isolated and exposed north of the border, and any kind of serious questioning of what the Tories have to offer Scotland in the future will make her extremely uncomfortable. Her tired, boring, one-policy, Loyalist-lite garbage will only stretch so far. Epecially now that it looks like SNP support is holding up strongly and even increasing. I do wonder if we're reaching a tipping point in Scottish politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be time for a no-questions photo opportunity, though. Her staff probably on the phone to that buffalo farm right now. I think her political opportunism is clear for all to see. Well, except for the media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
