I think Scottish would be more problematic than lesbian but I don't think either would matter greatly to Tory voters when voting against are jezza the communist IRA murderer.

Not convinced she'd be able to stop the bleeding though.

My dream scenario is Davidson/Rudd as stalking horse, replaced at last minute by *entrance music* Gideon Osborne.

2 month election campaign of the papers fellating technocratic Osborne, guardian bravely holds it's nose and endorses Corbyn.

Corbyn landslides Osborne and we get another "nobody saw this coming!" reaction from the press and policitians.

Davidson, whilst probably not bad, has never been seriously tested as she's never run on a platform more complex than 'NO SECOND REFERENDUM', and both the SNP and Labour have been pretty poor at taking her to task for national Tory policy. Annabel Goldie, her predecessor, she is not.

Also, I highly doubt she's dumb enough to jump into the tire fire that the UK Conservatives are going to be for the next two to ten years

That's very true actually, the Scottish contest has now turned into a pretty volatile one where we're gonna see if Scotland will end up with a 3 party system or if a 2 party one which parties?

No reason for her to join all that bollocks down south at precisely the least rewarding possible moment.

I think to do it properly you have to also have a seething resentment of all womankind for daring not to desperately beg to have sex with you whenever you enter a room.

Like the term "friendzone", which when I came across it in my youth (mid-2000s i think) I took to mean as a simple description of that unfortunate consequence of feelings not being symmetric, which might have just been my naivety or cluelessness because by the time I saw it again a few years later it had become a malicious act that women, and only women, actively do to poor defenceless men. Can't be a thing without blaming women for it I guess.

Aye. Right now she's the undisputed queen of her own little fiefdom (she's even lifted the SNP strategy of the party leader in Scotland being superior to Scottish Westminster MPs): I can't see her dropping that for pretty much anything. Much better to sit on the sidelines making socially liberal noises and hope to avoid being tarred with the UK Tories' ever-rightward lurch and inevitable humiliating collapse.

Also the moment she goes down to Westminster somebody else is going to have to be the voice of the Tories in Scotland and I strongly suspect there's not going to be many good candidates to replace her, what with them all being Tories and with none of them ever being allowed to go out in public because this is the Ruth Davidson party and they're not Ruth Davidson.

If it all kicks off tonight remember that it happened because people who had just lost their families, their friends, and their homes were made to stand outside for 3 hours while councilers tried to rewrite a press release telling them that they were being moved away from the friends and family they still have left. Then they broke in to try and get answers and held a minute's silence because no one else had done.

Thats pretty much me 15-16 but I grew out of that basically as soon as I got my first girlfriend. I sort of feel like if that resentment lingers for too long you become deranged and those people are the incel/volcel "movement"?

Well 4chan bases it a bunch off of 2chan which is based of the text only 2ch. Don't know where 2ch got it from, but well that's what happens.

The d-notice stuff is a completely unfounded rumor right?

D-notices as depicted in popular fiction are complete bollocks.

Firstly, they're called DSMA-Notices now. Defence and Security Media Advice Note. But their basic functioning is unchanged.

But the clue is in their name. Defence and Advice.

They're only supposed to be issued on matters directly involved, or judged prejudicial to the Defence and Security of the Realm.

You can't issue one to coverup any old thing your Goverment may consider embarassing.

In fact you can't use them in a coverup at all because of the Advice part.

They are entirely voluntary. There is no legal penalty for breaking one.

They are in fact a official way to say to for example Tabloid editor 'x', you've got your hands on information which you're not supposed to have and will cause this genuine harm.

If the Editor disagrees, he can publish anyway.

Generally, when used reasonably the media will comply, but they certainly have been ignored before, and if anyone was dumb enough to try and use them in a non-defence matter like the terrible fire then the media would run with the story and denounce the stupid bastard who tried it.

Men have most rights. Rights men don't have or things they're particularly vulnerable to are better covered by other charities (like men's mental health charities or veteran's services*) and not a misogynist hate group that insists not being able to see arbitrary amounts of boobs in a video game is equivalent to an inability to get a decent trial for rape or systemic employment biases.

MRA are bitter abusive ex-husbands and people with internet/gaming/porn addiction who never bath. They have a few token wimmins with serious psychological issues as well.

My ex-husband is one of them, I see him online a lot talking about his abusive ex-wife and his 60% maintenance for children he is not allowed to see. The ex-wife in question having signed CSA forms stating that she would never claim maintenance in case it gave him leverage to see the children when he got out of prison. He is in prison because he posted a home made bomb* through the letterbox after she kicked him out for shattering her jaw.

The MRA ladies and gentlemen.
