A fortnight ago Johnson mocked the Scottish NHS saying it was completely unprepared for Corona virus. Today Corona virus deaths in Scotland are running at less than half the rate of England’s and Boris has Corona virus.
Karma.

I’ve been hearing the Tories saying that the SNP has destroyed the Scottish National Health Service for quite a while now. Had an appointment for an X ray at 3:15 this afternoon. Arrived at 3:10 was taken at 3:15 and 6 minutes later was back out in the car park.

Here’s some free advice for the SNP:
Drop the gender nonsense and cut yourself away from the Greens.
Lose Swinney and the rest of the devolutionists.
Start campaigning honestly and constructively for independence and for God’s sake reconcile with Alex Salmond.

Just took a phone call from my local SNP branch asking me for a donation. When I asked what it was for I was told (I kid you not) ‘A ring fenced Referendum fighting fund’.

I see BBC Scotland is showing ‘Scandals that shocked Scotland’ including the building of the Scottish parliament building. That sounds to me as though it’s skating very close to a breach of electoral law. Unless of course they’re going to balance it with, ‘The McCrone Report’.

To all those people throughout the U.K. and beyond who are announcing that the BBC aren’t to be trusted anymore, let me say this:
