Antlion Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 In the outpouring of love for Ruth Davidson on the Marr show (we all love her in Scotland, apparently) the Daily Mail wummin said it was incredibly brave of Ruth to reveal her history of self-harming “whilst at the peak of her power in Scotland”. Given that she’s branch manager of a party that lost the last election, I’m not sure how high that praise is - unless the BBC is now trying to imply to middle England that the Tories rule north of the border. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 That smirking blonde woman on Marr had a genuine Nazi look to her. She could barely stop herself laughing when Rachel Shabi said £800 was a lot of money to many people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I shaked my head at that statement. She's ruling herself out of ever becoming PM because she's incompetent and will get found out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s that far off the mark regarding Colonel Fatty he can just get himself and the rest of his stupid opinions into the fecking sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it's seemingly regarded as a plus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slavoj Žižek Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Ruth Davidson is fat and I would not have sex with her. I would vote for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I'm on Ruth's side here, though I'd never vote for her. Why give up a cushy well paid job with no responsibility for a vague chance of getting a 24/7 one with ultimate responsibility? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much sympathy as I have for anyone who goes/has gone through the things she described, the coverage of it seemed written specifically to try and cheer her up. A paragraph in the Metro yesterday actually began with the phrase "The popular 39-year-old" ffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ever buy into people in the public eye emoting and baring their soul in the interests of 'helping others', it is invariably self-serving pish. Davidson well knows that she has already hit the rubber ceiling politically and this revelation seems to me to be intended to dampen down speculation and allow her to eventually chart her own course away from frontline politics. And I'm frankly still astonished at how thinly her talents have managed to be spread; she is a Caledonian Christine Hamilton of the day with not a positive or insightful take on anything. She is though probably still the least useless of the assorted scarecrows and Tussaud dummies who form Scotland's cadre of Tories.

Granny Danger Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 BBC coverage of Brexit is like a political broadcast for May. ‘“EU must do x, y and z” says May’. No they fucking don’t, and they won’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 They've just had Ruth on Women's Hour promoting her fucking book. (I'm not a regular listener) I've never heard so much cringe worthy arse licking in my life. I can't begin to understand why they love her so much. Really fucking love her. For the dear old Beeb it is a tragedy that she's opted not to replace May - apparently she will be happy to remain Scotland and "restore it to a country that's not talking about independence every sodding day" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Yes. They get away with their lies that the SNP bang on about it (and nothing else, every day) on a constant basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
