Boris Johnson in Yorkshire






We'll ignore the'Tosh and piffle' comment because I don't speak 19th century English, not to mention the use of 'sung' instead of 'sang' Poor show, Eton. 

Let's ask for a definition of a few other comments:
- 'a few months of hardship'. Who will suffer this and what will it consist of? David Lammy's whole point is that it will be the people least able to afford hardship who will suffer most. 
- 'Once proud Britons'. You just know what's coming next: The War. The bravery of the people - not people like Winnington-Havers or people like you and I who weren't alive at the time - but the poorest people in the UK at the time: in London, Coventry, Liverpool, Clydebank and Glasgow.
- 'rationed suet'. What the hell is suet rationed or otherwise? Is that the level of food supply we can expect from brexit?

The Great British state has rapidly gone to hell in a handcart thanks to Johnson and his pal Dominic Cumming and this week has been a joy to watch on social media and in the newspapers. I'm thrilled to say that we Scots have been up there playing our part. I can't imagine what kind of hate mail Joanna Cherry and Tommy Sheppard have been getting, but some of the twitter comments have been amazing:

"The 3 judges at the Court of Session" are stooges of the SNP. O yeah? You've obviously never met a Scottish lawyer. 

"Why is the Scottish parliament telling the English parliament what to do?" Em, it's hard to know where to start on that one. 


" We should stop subsiding Scotland and set them loose." Okay. If you say so. There's page after page of this nonsense.







And now we have Yorkshire people telling Johnson to get back to parliament and sort all this out. However, I'll let the Yorkshire people into a secret: he can't sort it out. He doesn't know how. He failed to answer the Court of Session in Edinburgh and that has landed him in a whole world of trouble. Next week is going to be interesting...European Court anyone?
