Boris backfires again

The trip to Scotland has backfired on Boris. I’m not talking about the right of a PM to visit a member state of the union.
But to come to Scotland and raise the Union Jack was a serious mistake during these very hard times.
Firstly, Boris exemplifies everything the Scottish dislike - privileged, posh school boy, bully, bumbling a typical Tory boy that favours the bankers.
Secondly, turning up during a lockdown with the premise of supporting the Scottish NHS vaccination programme but using it like a cat marking his territory, spraying his unionist words.
It was bad timing, transparently not about the pandemic but firing the starting gun on a political assault on the Scottish people.
So now it begins, a tirade of abuse and accusations on Scottish politicians, predominately Nicola Sturgeon, lies and false words, smearing tactics and intimidation.
The next few months will see all the old arguments and fear tactics being deployed.
But the arguments are the same ones used for leaving the EU - Sovereignty.
So now the Scottish are digging in, getting ready for the unionist first wave.
I am ready, as are my family and friends.
There is no crystal ball for the future, but the people of Scotland would rather make their own decisions and have their voice heard.

The more he goes to Scotland, the better the SNP will do. Anybody who knows Scotland a little bit knows this but the Anglocentric tories just don’t get Scotland. |

Bit dramatic OP. What are you ready for?
I wouldn’t worry I can’t see anything other than an SNP victory. I don’t see anything that indicates any burgeoning Tory Support North or South of the border tbh. |

His rationale for coming up aside, there was nothing essential about the visit, it should not have happened.
I would say that about any politician from any party. |

What a quandary - seems there isn't a right or wrong..."
It was bad judgement in my opinion. Look at the flak the royals got when they did it.

There is though, current restrictions. Its not about what SNP may or may not think, its just common sense to abide by the restrictions for the time being. There was nothing essential about this trip so it should have been delayed. That's all. |

This visit is essentially no different to him visiting Bristol or Manchester. No one was up in arms about those trips and the only reason this is news is because Sturgeon has made it news.

I think the Scottish people have made it news and the media. You do know what is a stake here. Scottish independence and he could have and frequently does this in PMQs.
If he was just doing a visit like other English visits why didn’t he stick to encouraging words for the Scottish NHS.
Did he even give encouragement or thanks - no. Just piddling like a stray cat in Scotland. |

So he didn't give any encourage or thanks during his visit? It was all about independence? |

The "essential" bit is for social not work, if your at work your at work. It's his job to visit places in UK. |

Essential that the good folks of Scotland are reminded the vaccine being delivered is a result of the United Kingdom working together - something the SNP won't be talking about and broadcasting when they are huddled together focusing on a badly timed and poorly thought out 11 point plan to independence.

The visit was about countering the newspaper front pages on Tuesday, here's the PM supporting the troops etc..
He could have done that by zoom, it is what they all do we know but at this time no need to..
Unless it was also to trigger sturgeon.. |

Are you telling us that the Scots are too thick to understand the vaccine is a combined effort - and an international one as these vaccines are not just British? |

The Scots are happy to take are money and our vaccine well give them independance cut of there money,there vaccine supplies see how they like independance then.
Sturgeon does not give a shit for her people she just wants power and hates the English she is a really nasty peace of work.If she got independance and thousands of her people die she would not care she is another Mugabi |

I stopped at ‘the Scots take are money’ and ‘there money’.
They keep coming up with polls about Scottish independence but I’d love to have one about the percentages of Brexiteers who can’t tell ‘there’ and ‘their’ apart. Ditto for ‘of’ and ‘have’. It’s quite staggering. I really hope that a university of some sort will carry out an in-depth study on the correlation between the inability to master our language most basic rules and the likelihood of these people to vote Brexit and blame our neighbours for their shortcomings. Is English nationalism linked to poor education? It would definitely be a fascinating study! |

Well I am not really going after this person’s spelling but I must admit that I find it difficult to give people who can’t write the most basic words any credibility when it comes to very complex political issues. Not everybody can be great at spelling and I don’t have a problem but I would genuinely find it interesting if there were studies about the link between poor spelling and inability to master one’s mother tongue and political views. |

Interesting question. I understand what the SNP is after and the reasons for their frustrations. I am not sure about English nationalism. England is dominating the Union in many ways so I’m not sure what English nationalists try to achieve. The Scots have been voting for years and years for parties that never were represented in Downing Street. When they used to vote Labour, they had Thatcher or other Tory prime ministers for example. |

Many more English vote for members of the party which end up losing and therefore have a PM they do not want nor vote for. |

However the party that gets the most votes in England has always ended up in Downing Street. Hardly ever in Scotland so no wonder more and more Scots Scots feel the Union is not working for them. |

I couldn’t agree more but you can’t expect the two parties who benefit the most from it to even contemplate changing it. So I can’t see how things will ever change. |

"The Scots are happy to take are money and our vaccine well give them independance cut of there money,there vaccine supplies see how they like independance then.
Sturgeon does not give a shit for her people she just wants power and hates the English she is a really nasty peace of work.If she got independance and thousands of her people die she would not care she is another Mugabi "
Clearly the irony will be missed with you Emma in posting about the nastiness you've assumed and at the same time suggesting cutting off vaccines at a time we have lost thousands.. |

"The PM doesn't visit, the SNP bash him for it
The PM does visit, the SNP bash him for it.
What a quandary - seems there isn't a right or wrong...
There is though, current restrictions. Its not about what SNP may or may not think, its just common sense to abide by the restrictions for the time being. There was nothing essential about this trip so it should have been delayed. That's all.
Are we forgetting this is his job and you are allowed to travel for work, are you not?
If essential yes. This trip was not essential it's as simple as that.
The "essential" bit is for social not work, if your at work your at work. It's his job to visit places in UK.
Only go into work if essential otherwise work from home, coming here wasn't essential whatever way you try to dress it up.
It obviously was essential and i don't think the PM has to justify himself."
Are you serious? |

Think as you do, my view is regardless of what he is there was nothing at all to be gained by him travelling all that way, end of story. |

What is it you do understand in the following sentence ‘work from home if you can’? It’s a pretty easy rule to understand I guess. Well, i though it was. |
