SCOTLAND is considered a British institution abroad, eh Boris? This one of the finest hybrids of Trump doublethink and Boris’s jolly Etonian hockey sticks yet.

If you have watched American cable news for any length of time, you will be well aware that, unless they are really concentrating, the UK and England are interchangeable.

If we ever had any concerns about the Tories “getting it” and somehow becoming capable of less bombastic imperialistic waffle ... we shouldn’t. It runs in Johnson blue-tinged blood (presumably replacing sensible thought processes). Hope someone is keeping an up-to-date montage of the plum and his tub-thumping nonsense.

JOHNSON says “it would be sad to lose the ‘magic’ of the UK". Well I suppose he’s kinda right... see the revenue from Scotland’s oil? Now you see it, now you don’t! See Scotland’s coastal waters? Abracadabra, they shrink before your very eyes! And let us not forget the ultimate trick ... remember the illusionary “Vow”? Where’s that gone? Up Westminster’s long sleeve?

Dear Mr Prime Minister the only thing that would be “pure magic” is your disappearance and Scotland’s independence. Now that’s a show I’ m sure we’d all queue up for!
