Well, Mr Mighty Anonymous Keyboard Warrior of the Internet, I am tempted to say repeat that in English and I’l answer you, but i won't abuse the hospitality of our host by indulging in a barney.

Half (52%) of undecided voters did not know who she was.'<br /><br />As TNS said -<br /><br />“Perhaps more surprising than Dugdale’s low recognition is that 30% of respondents said they have not heard of Ruth Davidson, despite her achieving some prominence in the media, especially during last year’s referendum campaign and over her recent disagreement with the UK Conservative leadership on tax credits.”<br /><br /><br />And this polling was I think after Ruth’s appearance on HIGNFY?<br /><br />Political allegiances apart (I shall be voting for Johann) all this can only be worrying. Nicola Sturgeon - ‘Nicola' as she is now universally known, with ’The Blessed’ silent - seems to be regarded by otherwise rational beings as a benevolent Tinker Bell sprinkling pixie dust on us all below. <br /><br />None of this - the lack of recognition of the opposition, the worship of the Goddess - indicates a healthy polity. Even Sturgeon’s Xmas card, redolent of ancient symbolism, doesn’t show her fair countenance, just her limbs akimbo, welcoming the Hurt of the World. The image doubtless moves many Scots, but reminded me of the Daniel O’Donnell based character in Father Ted picking up a wounded puppy to nurse back to health. I mean, come on.<br /><br />Or maybe we are in the 'Jonathan Superstar' Buffy episode, in the grip of a rough magic. Who knows, maybe tomorrow Kezia will be revealed as a young Betty Boothroyd, while the giant lizard hiding inside 'The Blessed Nicola’ breaks out, eatng everyone in sight. <br /><br />Admittedly this sounds a tad improbable. But then we inhabit a world in which socialists retweet antisemitic messages from David Icke, and an SNP MSP retweets a antisemetic cartoon of the sort favoured by Icke and his followers. No matter what horrors we invent, the reality can be worse.Edwin Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317173893948248954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-12101681558853861932015-12-06T11:33:02.363+00:002015-12-06T11:33:02.363+00:00And is she really trying to suggest that Holyrood ...And is she really trying to suggest that Holyrood is more combative that Westminster? <br />Absolute ballocks!

I'd credit her more and value her 'honesty' if she was not such a liberal liar. 50% of kids struggle to or cannot read, remember that wee doozie and the classic, 'the Edinburgh Agreement precludes any advance negotiation, Google it, it's in there.' Nicola is sitting right there and she still persists with it. Don't get me wrong, I ain't putting NS up for Sainthood but there's spin and there's p*sh and KD talks a lot of p*sh at times. And if FMQs is no different to PMQs it's because she keeps poking the bear. The olive branch was extended early doors by NS and spurned by KD. But one can look at her mentors, Foulkes and Murphy to see that the apple has not fallen far from the tree. She is shallow and opportunistic, there's no gravitas of intellect and no political sophistication, just a punchy sense of entitlement and heavy deployment of 'look there's a squirrel' diversion tactics. If ever a coherent, well thought through policy of any significance emerges from her lips then I'll do an Ashdown and eat a chocolate hat. She'll be gone by 2020, probably of her own volition for a consultancy job.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991443235327143475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-488801891887318602015-12-05T15:51:43.950+00:002015-12-05T15:51:43.950+00:00Maybe I'm being a wee bit cynical, but surely ...Maybe I'm being a wee bit cynical, but surely the intended message is: "It's unfair to boot me out after the Holyrood elections.
