I’VE had it with this fool Boris Johnson. The speech to the CBI must be the ultimate plotus losticus. I do have a Higher Latin, but from 1970, so I do not apologise for having forgotten a lot. I shall search my archive for a Latin grammar or dictionary to find the right words for liar, thief, destroyer of democracy, absolute clown and inordinate embarrassment.
Statesman? My posterior. I am sure I will find those words, as the Senate was also full of similarly appalling, self-serving and entitled pap.

That this man should represent the UK as a statesman is beyond a joke, an aberration, an embarrassment beyond tolerance. Get rid of the idiot and for God’s sake get Scotland out of this Whitehall/Romano farce.

WHAT makes Johnson’s blundering buffoonery so glaringly obvious is the contrast displayed (for the world to see) in the calm confident competence of Nicola Sturgeon, the Prime Minister designate of Scotland.
I am quite certain the Wee Ginger Dug barked and growled at the absurd perfomance while its owner gave us another excellent essay in The National.

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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
