Didn’t you spill my pint?

Posted on September 01, 2017 by

Ruth Davidson finally emerged today from a summer of hiding from press stories about her racist and sectarian councillors and MSPs to give a bizarre, nervy and gabbling interview to Good Morning Scotland.

Highlights included calling Show Racism The Red Card an “anti-Semitic” organisation and proposing the building of eight entire new towns in Scotland (the funding source and potential locations for this colossal undertaking were not specified), all filled with social housing which would nevertheless be for sale under Right To Buy.

(Which if it could somehow magically be done would of course lead to the homes being quickly sold at heavy discounts, leaving councils insufficient money to fund their replacements and creating another massive housing bubble and crisis.)

But our very favourite bit was when (at 2h 17m) she said this:

“Don’t say anything online that you wouldn’t say to a bloke in the pub who’s half-cut with a broken glass, six foot tall and five foot wide.”

To be honest, readers, if we encountered a 30-sq-foot drunk waving a broken glass around in a pub, we’d just be looking for the door as fast as possible. But clearly Ruth Davidson frequents different sorts of bars to us.

So just for a bit of light-hearted Friday fun, we thought we’d ask: what WOULD you say to that person in that situation?

    Seriously, according to the great leaderine, the errant councillors have apologised to everyone who was offended by their comments.
    Maureen Bennisson, Stirling Councillor, asked the question via the National on Tuesday(?). Don’t think she’ll agree with that answer and I can categorically state that they have not apologised to me ( nor many others) and I was offended by their remarks, Ruth.

    Mind you (t)Ruthless equates two Tory Councillors and one Tory MP with one SNP MSP. If you listen, she says its all fine because the three Tories have apologised and so has the one SNP MSP ( who was ‘attacking her online’) so that’s ok then.

    There is more than a subtle difference between these two pieces of advice on how to conduct yourself online or on what you put in an email. I’m no psychologist but personally I would steer well clear of anyone who even suggested the Tory version.

    Is Ruth inferring all big guys in pubs in Scotland are inherently dangerous people and therefore having a conversation with them would lead to violence

    Ruth may remember the comment she made at a Tory party bash in Inglind where she pointed out to great amusement amongst the Tories present that Scottish people were thieves as well and that’s why the venue hid the light bulbs

    Miss Davidson seems against her preferred sexuality to be clearly attracted to burly violent men perhaps that’s why her affiliations to the men of the Orange Lodge hold such a special place for her

    It’s OK in Scotland to be attracted to whomever you choose but there definitely seems to be a pattern emerging here

    Are there to be more revelations from Miss Davidson on her ever deepening well of preferences, could the desire to wear military uniforms and hang out with rough tough soldiers have anything to do with her revelations about her passions

    It would seem every time the opposition leader in Holyrood opens her mouth it’s not only her foot she would prefer to be put in it Hmmn?

    Lovely to see untRuth has a real, genuine care for the poor people of Scotland, oh aye. Except her party have sold off the council housing stock right across the yookay, even chucking people out of their homes in London so they can hand the properties to their rich pals to knock them down and build posh flats, or to do up and sell at a massive profit.

    How many affordable homes are her masters in London building in England, 5, 10? talking to a yoon other day who believes that the homeless crisis is the fault of the SNP, of course. Nothing to do with the lack of housing stock due to Labour building just 6 when at Holyrood, and nothing to do with her UK, London Tory masters’ austerity on steroids, foisted on the poorest and most vulnerable. Universal credit, you just have to look at that to see how easy it is to become homeless, whether you are jobless, disabled, sick, it doesn’t matter to Tory Ruth, she doesn’t care.

    So, a wee distration from the fact that Scotland has a brand new bridge and the fact that the SNPGov are actually building affordable homes by the 1000s. As well as having a ‘help to buy’ scheme, for fist time buyers.

    The SNP have so much to put right and mitigate Tory, and Labour sanctioned cuts. The britnats hate that, which is a disgrace as they would rather see Scotland ruined, destitute and a basket case in the eyes of the world. Utterly despicable of Davidson to attempt once again to overshadow the work that the Scottish government are doing, by making up stories about building houses that will never be built by her party, and she knows it!

    http://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/31/may-s-post-brexit-trade-policy-unravels-in-japan. Ian Dunt.

    “One of the core Brexit arguments was that outside of the EU we could negotiate our own trade deals. We wouldn’t have to sit with 27 other nations anymore, trying to construct a uniform trade policy between such disparate economies. We wouldn’t have to be hobbled by the political need to protect things like oranges, which we don’t care about, and could focus on things like financial services, which we do. Britain would be unleashed, a roaming imperial tiger on the global stage.

    So it’s worth taking the example of Japan as a test case for how this mission is going. Theresa May arrived in the country yesterday, trying to put a brave face on it. To be fair she’s been trying to put a brave face on all manner of things for several months now. If anyone’s an expert at pulling a brave face, it’s her. But no matter how much practice she’s had, the trip looks dreadful and embarrassing. Before she’d even arrived, Japanese officials informed journalists that a trade deal with the UK would take a back seat to one with the EU.”

    Ruth Davidson of the ‘bigot racist sectarian homophobic Tory party’, needs a wee history lesson on ‘right to buy’. When HER party in Government introduced ‘right to buy’ for council built houses, it also stipulated that the funds obtained by councils from the sales could NOT go towards building NEW council homes.

    It is that freaking simple. That is why we have record homelessness. That is why young people cannot buy a house. This is partly why private houses cost so much.

    In huge swathes of London, where their was once council housing, they have ALL gone into private hands – mainly landlords, who incidentally have made an absolute killing. Kings cross, Lewisham, Chelsea and Kensington (where Grenfell tower was amongst the small amount of council housing) are all the same.

    It was the Tories. Nobody else. The same party Ruth Davidson represents.

    Thankfully the SNP Scottish Government have put an end to ‘right to buy’ – something the Labour Government in London AND Scotland failed to do.

    The fact is, ALL those council houses that were sold off for tiny sums, were paid for by taxpayers over decades.

    So from what she said on the propagandist BBC earlier today, Ruth either was (a) unaware that this was the case, or (b) was lying.

    Either way, she looks foolish.

    Aye it’s terrible that private landlords have been able to snap up ex-council houses.

    Houses built at public expense to provide cheap,affordable housing. Now being sold or rented out for profit by those who do it for business, so these houses are not affordable to those for whom Council houses were built. The private rents are usually considerably more expensive than Council house rents.

    Herald comment:

    The issue there, is that the manifesto pledge was crystal clear: a referendum if Scotland is dragged out the EU, I repeat EU, against Scotland’s will.

    EFTA or Single Market is NOT the EU.

    The SNP had no democratic mandate to try to negotiate away EU membership and the promised referendum in return for Single Market membership.

    The SNP themselves said Scotland voted Remain and the people are sovereign, so that that democratic vote should be respected.

    The SNP bartering away their election pledges and Scotland’s sovereign democratic decision to Remain ( in the EU) is unacceptable.

    By doing that and still failing to secure Single Market membership, makes the SNP look not only undemocratic, but weak and foolish.

    It has cast major doubts on the SNP’s commitment to independence or even Scottish parliamentary sovereignty.

    If the SNP want to rectify the situation, they should announce a referendum on Scottish Parliamentary sovereignty.

    Asking if Holyrood should be the supreme parliament for Scotland, not subservient to Westminster.

    It would end subservient devolution and the worthless Sewel Convention – but would not end the UK.

    It would make Holyrood a real parliament. It would make the Scottish Government a real government, instead of administrators for Westminster Govt.

    It would empower the Scottish Parliament to decide if Scotland should remain in the EU or EFTA / Single Market.

    It would also empower the Scottish Parliament to vote for independence or to remain in the Union, so the people would choose by voting for Unionist or Independist manifestos.

    I am also not a rabid football fan but I do enjoy watching Scotland playing in international competitions and it is outrageous when a terrestrial channel especially when its STV, broadcasts the England game but not the Scottish one. Can you imagine the outcry in England if positions were reversed. There is no country in the world that would tolerate this.
    But it is becoming the rule rather than the exception, and I believe it is political. Anything that promotes any form of nationalism or pride in Scotland is deliberately
    suppressed as with the national football team or indeed television such as Outlander.
    There is no doubt in my mind that the state is behind this. Scotland is being deliberately cleansed of its culture and heritage and is being Anglofied by the back door with the disturbing acceptance of a considerable section of the Scottish population who don`t seem to care.
    I despair.

    Don’t be fooled.
    The One show is discussing the bridge because Mrs Windsor is ‘opening’ it on monday.

    Their next programme will miss the coverage as it will have happened by the time they are ‘on air’ on monday.

    Hence they are trying to get the first bite of the cherry , as it were.

    I’ve always felt that music is on the side of Indy, and considering the effects and use of it over centuries or more, perhaps with good reason.

We should use it more.

That sovereignty garbage is anti-EU in its way, so I’m guessing it’s Leavers behind writing that. Which is fine, as some people are of course, but doesn’t represent all views.

    Hard work shouldn’t be discouraged, as I have to tell myself, just seems that’s started out the wrong way to me. I too will keep an eye on it, see if it improves.

    I agree that it’s worth keeping an eye on.
    Mainly because,I love the fact that the input is not coming from the top down or from so called “civic Scotland”.

    One of my main concerns is that the input from Jock & Jeannie public when the time comes to frame our new constitution.
    Will play out like the Smith Commission and only pretend to consult us.
    Which really matters, because a “Scottish Establishment” will quickly appear to take over.
    Resulting in a Constitution to suit them.

    They, very people who for the most part (I’ll be kind)were not on board the Independence train!
    But who will potentially pop up while we are are all still celebrating the Yes vote.
    Organise themselves and assume the writing of it.

    This is what I mean when I say “we have to avoid a mini me Westminster” which is what could happen if we don’t get to grips with how Holyrood is framed.
    But we also have to avoid not producing “a dreamer’s” document either.

    I do hope that this site develops, because IMHO we “the actual people” should aim to have an inspiring document that’s go to go,on day one.

    I’ve heard more about the QC bridge on the radio since yesterday than I’ve heard in the last three years purely so they can tell you that HM the Queen is opening the bridge on Monday.

    In fact on GMS this a.m. the discussion ended with a BBC man pointing out some of the problems with the bridge then ‘jokingly’ saying words to the effect of, …of course I’m only on this programme to dampen the enthusiasm for the bridge …
    to which the female host ‘jokingly’ replied, ..well of course why else would we have you on the programme…

    Did you know that it won’t finally be open properly until next Thursday?
    Whit’s a biddy tae dae until then? Feign shock and horror –

    She’s always been a fool, and is deservedly mocked when proving so.

    I’ll never forget the time she posted a tweet about her dug chasing a seagull into the Forth, so she had to rescue it…*cue dramatic music*

    With a photo of her: smiling as usual when posing, in a wet, blue t-shirt and dark leggings.

    In her back garden.
    House in the background.

    And a circular, wet mark on the concrete where a pail had obviously been.

    Did she fuck rescue her dug from ‘the sea’.

    ‘Someone’ threw water over her and the dug for the camera.

    The dug would have shaken most of the water off long before they reached home – it was wringing!?? lol.

    She thought it’d be a jolly wheeze, to boost her pregnant image and show how caring and wondeful she was.

    She’s a political fraud who decides nothing based on pragmatism & research, and everything on image, emotion, dogma.

    The worst kind of politician.
