The New Fat Scotland 'Thanks for all the Fish' Thread.

Not as much as the PM was today (both 'wetting' and 'disrupting').
I wonder what Ruth has to say about it all, oh wait she is "not available for comment". What about the Secretary for State for Scotland then? Nope, he cancels his planned event in Edinburgh.......

Politicians of all parties are the same breed, opportunist and think your head zips up the back....

UPDATE: Ruth 'considering her position' - wow, just wow!

apparently Ruth is making a statement on Thursday, rumour has it she is experiencing mental health issues, if this is true I wish her all the best for the future, mental health problems can be so debilitating

Very much agree with you but the timing of any announcement speaks volumes.....

absolutely... and I would hate to think she is in anyway using mental health as an excuse that would just be sick and very disrespectful to those living with it. I do think she is probably legit though

Jackson Carlaw then I presume. He is no Ruth Davidson. This is a blow to the Scottish Conservatives as I think most people up here respected Ruth no matter if they agreed with her politics. She is an excellent communicator and the SNP and Brexiteers will be delighted I'm sure to see her step down.

She's not quitting politics though. I'm sure she'll interject at the appropriate times;)

A union at ease with itself:-

Police have promised a “thorough and robust” inquiry after protesters against an Irish unity march sparked a riot in Glasgow.

Riot police, mounted officers, a force helicopter and dog units were used to help quell “significant disorder”.

Police said the planned march through the city’s Govan area, organised by the James Connolly Republican Flute Band, was met by hundreds of “disruptive” counter-demonstrators at about 7pm
