A classic bully.<br /><br />I think he's grown to love the limelight over the last year and seems to be something of an attention seeker. We now find him offering opinions in the media on matters which, on the face of it, do not appear to have anything to do with him in a personal or professional capacity.<br /><br />If I was Ruth Davidson, I wouldn't be losing sleep over this guy.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384257837409326870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-22678369988450730442011-11-07T13:35:52.588+00:002011-11-07T13:35:52.588+00:00Either at your throat or your feet .... no thank y...Either at your throat or your feet .... no thank you. If you are parting company, do it with some dignity despite your inner feelings.<br />We have a steady influx to the ideal of Independence without the need for self-publicists and fair weather friends.<br />The expression on Mr Mundell's face during Miss Davidson's acceptance 'speech' when she referred to Mr Cameron as her "colleague" not her "boss" was one of profound shock - good luck with that one Miss Davidson.Clarindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189996558442989039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-68534982692044100132011-11-07T13:12:38.002+00:002011-11-07T13:12:38.002+00:00I wonder how much longer it will be before other T...I wonder how much longer it will be before other Tories join Mr McBride and turn their backs on this party.<br /><br />Ms Davidson’s youthful and somewhat brusque ‘in your face’ style of politics does not seem to sit well with the more mature and traditional conservative party activist.<br /><br />I would be interested to know how her comments re Mr Cameron go down south of the border.<br />She is reported as having said –<br /><i>“While David Cameron is my prime minister, when he comes to Scotland he's not my boss - we're colleagues."</i> – so is he her boss when she goes to England?<br /><i>“If he [Mr Cameron] needs a quiet tap on the shoulder, then I'm just the girl to do it."</i> - Cameron might take such talk from Sarkozy, but will he from Ms Davidson?JRBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864418763227369458noreply@blogger.com
