The irony of Sturgeon being so anti Tory and anti May is that if she hadn't wanted another indyref May probably wouldnt now be in office.0

Hey I think the mistreatment of anyone is wrong I do however find humour in people that shoot thselves in the foot especilly people that are incredibly nasty like Rooth
She will of course accept it as she did with the whole I want to stay in the single market rubbish that quickly changed when WM came into the picture ... she takes her orders from WM ... they care not one jot about her or other people ... like turkeys voting for Xmas0 -

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/09/ruth-davidson-planning-scottish-tory-breakaway-challenges-theresa/Ruth Davidson is to defy Theresa May’s plans for a hard Brexit and tear her Scottish party away from English control after the UK Tories’ disastrous General Election result.
Ms Davidson also vowed to use her Commons votes to prioritise the single market over curbing immigration.

Sometimes you just have to accept that other people hold different views to oneself. Rather than rant. Understand why is my mantra.
Never wise to throw stones when living in glass houses either.Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and her predecessor Alex Salmond have been slammed for refusing to condemn a member of their party who suggested that IRA members who killed three Scottish soldiers were “freedom fighters”. Scottish National Party (SNP) member John Mason MSP sparked outrage on Twitter when he also said he was “not taking sides” on the murders of the three young Scots.0 -

Oh I agree the DUP alliance would have felt offensive - and her tweet made that clear today - but Mayhem misjudged and Ruth is canny enough to take full advantage.
In terms of the Union thing though, actually just the opposite.
She knows full well if she can keep the UK in the single market Indy is dead and the Union is saved.
And then the UK may well have another Scottish PM....“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

So kinda like what the SNP have with Greens ... a case by case basis ... and yet the two are intricately linked by so many anti indy posters ... obviously that won't happen to the Tories/DUP BritNat dream ... no no ... people will be able to segregate it all
When you sleep with terrorists you are basically a terrorist yourself
Fun and games ... the death rattle of the UK ... enjoy it .. I know I am
Jesus you're flapping about now, you should hope and pray Nicola has more gumption than to come out with the tripe you've just peddled.
Remind me out of 100% of those who voted, what percentage did independence supporting parties get? Say it/type it, you might find it cathartic.0 -

But in order to attempt that she has to split the party thus proving the UK isn't working together ... then she has to attempt to win a majority in Scotland ... something she has failed at so far ... that's quite delicious irony really0
