Fuck YANBU.

I’m Scottish (and cannot stand the SNP) and I want her back ASAP.

Ruth, if you’re reading this PLEASE COME BACK SOON!

MadameAnchou · 31/03/2019 19:35

Another Tory sorting out Brexit. LOL.

ssd · 31/03/2019 19:36

Jesus what planet are you two on?

Bagitup · 31/03/2019 19:39

@ssd

Not the same one as you.

No one else has managed it and Ruth Davidson seems like a competent woman to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

ForalltheSaints · 31/03/2019 19:39

Ruth Davidson is not an MP and has made it clear she has no wish to be, being happy as an MSP. So not an option.

Bagitup a valid point you made- I said to someone earlier this week that the best argument against Scottish independence is the SNP!

MadameAnchou · 31/03/2019 19:42

Yep, Tories are so competent. FFS. And she's not an MP so she'll have nowt to do with Brexit, thank fuck.

dreichuplands · 31/03/2019 19:42

I am no great lover of the SNP but I reckon Nicola Sturgeon has been doing a pretty good job on Brexit.
Sorting Brexit out requires a functioning government and opposition and currently we have neither.

OhioOhioOhio · 31/03/2019 19:43

But Ruth Davidson is straightforward. And she'd get the job done in one way or another.

Yes about the SNP. So awful.

Straightforward, my arse! So is Boris.

At any rate, she's not an MP so all your wet dreams about yet another fucking Tory making anything other than a pig's ear out of Brexit are null and void, thank fuck. No one can 'get it done one way or another' anyway because we don't have a dictatorship, the leader has to act with the agreement of Parliament and then the EU can chose to reject whatever shitty excuse for an agreement they come up with, which they probably will.

LagunaBubbles · 31/03/2019 19:57

Oh good another SNP bashing thread.

ssd · 31/03/2019 22:07

I can't believe Ruth Davidson has a fan club here... Well actually I do

StoorieHoose · 31/03/2019 22:10

She can't even manage to meet with her own constituents when she wasn't on maternity leave so I very much doubt she could sort out brexit

Nyx · 31/03/2019 22:12

How would Ruth sort out Brexit? I'm dying to know.

thefirstmrsrochester · 31/03/2019 22:15

Ruth can do shit all to ‘sort out Brexit’.

Sitdownstandup · 31/03/2019 22:16

She would be a total fucking idiot to take the reins now or in the near future.

Littlebird88 · 31/03/2019 22:17

oh dear oh dear.
she's not even an MP and I would hope being leader of the Scottish conservatives she would be on the side of the Scottish people and there fore have the same stance as Nicola surgeon.

Horehound · 31/03/2019 22:18

Ruth Davidson is horrific.

MightyAtlantic · 31/03/2019 22:21

Ruth's nae daft. She'll be lying low until the current shitstorm is over and May is out.

TheSandman · 31/03/2019 22:30

Could quite happily live without Ruth the Mooth coming back to Hollyrood - but maybe motherhood will have changed her. (HAH!)

Meanwhile I think we should all sign this.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/231563

A Petition to Hold a referendum on England leaving the United Kingdom.

The Scottish have had the chance to vote for independence, it’s about time the English had the same right. It'll sort out Bexit nae prob. England leaves the UK everyone else stays.

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 31/03/2019 22:36

The United Kingdom of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Sounds good to me.

GottenGottenGotten · 31/03/2019 22:43

Omg, you need to get Scotland in on that petition, you will get a ton of support! How to get rid of Westminster and stay in the EU in one easy step!

SwiftAnchor · 31/03/2019 23:00

Ruth was a remainer as far as I know.

No idea why you would think she could sort out Brexit, she doesn't have a track record of being able to sort out anything else?!

TheSandman · 31/03/2019 23:32

Omg, you need to get Scotland in on that petition, you will get a ton of support! How to get rid of Westminster and stay in the EU in one easy step!

Take a look at the map link on the petition's page:

StoneofDestiny · 01/04/2019 00:01

Some idea that - bring another Tory in to sort out a Tory mess! 🙄

Aurignacian · 01/04/2019 00:05

She’s keeping a low profile so she’s not associated with all the shite.

She’s a Tory and gets way too much press coverage. She’s as useless as the rest of them.
