The Mighty Thor Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Another debate on the BBC tonight. Ruth Davidson and Douglas Alexander for Better Together. The Rab C Actress and someone from the SNP for the other side. It's only right the Ruth gets on. The minority parties should be represented in such an important decision.

Hasselhoff Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Another debate on the BBC tonight. Ruth Davidson and Douglas Alexander for Better Together. The Rab C Actress and someone from the SNP for the other side. Won't someone think of the people of shettleston? Can play Elaine c smith bingo tonight with talk of foodbanks there and low life expectancy. Stuart hosie is the snp guy tonight and I wasn't impressed with his answers last time he was on the news. Easy win for no tonight on actual logic matters but Elaine c smith is one of the people and so that will carry a lot of weight too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWinningSmith Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Has anyone who is in the Yes camp or undecided been impressed with Ruth Davidson? Or is it only No voters? I'm in the yes camp and Inwas very impressed with her at times. I think she does come across very well. I see why the No compain put her on TV rather than Johann Lamont, she is an accident waiting to happen.

ToadKiller Dog Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Has anyone who is in the Yes camp or undecided been impressed with Ruth Davidson? Or is it only No voters? Can't get over her silly comment about Scotland being under threat from Russian attack and her admitting the Tory party won't likely win the the next general election . That Keser Dugdale from labour labour has maybe been the best of the No team in my view . Can't take Davidson seriously over her warning of Russian invasion . Didn't see the kids debate she was on .

jambos are go! Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Can this debate be seen outsode the UK? Im reading it from Orlando. Tempted to have a punt on No to get 60% plus. Placed a postal vote for No before I left but regretting having gone on holiday till the 20th. Regardless of the outcome the reaction will be electric but hopefully not explosive. Scotland will still be Scotland. Will be totally jetlagged but will make the match on Saturday. Edited September 14, 2014 by jambos are go!

Boab Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Has anyone who is in the Yes camp or undecided been impressed with Ruth Davidson? Or is it only No voters? Nope. Only reason she is in the feckin parliament is the Regional Lists. No mandate to talk about anything as far as i'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_ Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Has anyone who is in the Yes camp or undecided been impressed with Ruth Davidson? Or is it only No voters?

Boab Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I guess Ruth Davidson got as much a mandate as likes of Elaine c smith or Brian soutar Correct. Wouldn't have them on either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgiewave Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Anybody and everybody has a "mandate to speak". Whether you have the support of the whole country or not. It seems some people think that a Yes vote is a vote to abolish frustration, disappointment and not getting your own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She tried to claim during the kids debate that Standard Life had issued a statement saying that they'd be moving 5000 jobs down South.

fabienleclerq Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Has anyone who is in the Yes camp or undecided been impressed with Ruth Davidson? Or is it only No voters? I think every time I've heard her she has spoke well, don't particularly agree with her though. (I may add the Putin invading thing was quite cringeworthy) Mostly I've been impressed with Harvie, might even vote green at some point in the future.

Malinga the Swinga Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Stuart/Stewart Hosie is a strange looking joker and seems ill at ease in panel. Every time someone speaks, he has a quizzical look on his face as if he doesn't understand why people don't agree with him. Who believes that we won't lose jobs if businesses take their head offices down South. You would have to believe in the tooth fairy to think the main banks, the assurance companies and others won't take jobs down South. As for E C Smith, she should stick to Rab C Nesbitt.

Hosie really is a clown who should never have been allowed by Yes to represent them in this debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
