ROTTEN to the core, the blond buffoon has visited the “Big Apple”.
Ignoring the contagion of whammies occurring back in the UK, Johnson blithely said there is nothing to be concerned about and that somehow things will sort themselves out.
Let me attempt to cure Johnson’s myopia and comb the hair back from his eyes.

Most households in the UK could face a 14% rise in energy bills next year. The Government is also increasing National Insurance contributions by 1.25%. There is a shortage of HGV drivers which may lead to an increase in food prices. Last but not least, the £20 uplift in Universal Credit is soon to be scrapped.
All of those aforementioned facts will disproportionately hit the poorest in our population the hardest. Many will have to, quite literally, choose between heating and eating this winter.
Those “red brick” voters in the former Labour heartlands of northern England and Wales must be bitterly regretting their decision to support the Conservative party.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
