He's not a buffoon, that's all an act to disguise his completely self-centred cunning.

I know that many of you ( SNP supporters) won’t like this fact,
But he’s the PM and can visit Scotland whenever he likes without having to take tea with Sturgeon.I won’t mention scones.?

At the time of the General Election in 2019 Fanny, he (allegedly) disappeared into an industrial fridge to avoid answering difficult questions from a reporter.

He doesn't get the warmest of welcomes in Scotland, unless the visits are choreographed.

Alegrias, sorry, I’m being a bit thick - what’s the fridge reference?

I’m imagining him in a tam o’shanter, a la Russ Abbott

Lovely cartoon in the Telegraph today.

The Police were seriously referring to policing this visit as Operation Bunter. ?

Who needs high viz gear with hair like that?.

We also had Harrison Ford visiting recently. ? Oooh! It’s all happening here. Could do without MacJohnson arriving for a photo shoot!

I wonder if Johnson will be quite so keen on the high viz gear now that he's advocated it for chain gangs...

This unaccustomed love bombing is making me quite giddy.

Sir Keir is visiting too apparently. We had Rishi last week. We've never been so popular. Is there a referendum coming up? ?

What’s the betting he’ll fly in , raid the dressing up box for a photo op with whatever factory/ farm / building work/ vaccine centre he’s visiting, meet a couple of selected tory donors, have a photo op and fly straight back to London.

Can we have a sweepstake for the time of appearance of the first hi-viz jacket?

I agree, and I also think he’s a loud mouthed bully. To quote the Scottish play, “Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”. He won’t want to meet NS because he won’t bear comparison.

Johnson is coming to Scotland later this week.

He can't even be arsed bothered to meet the woman running the show.

He's not just a buffoon, he's a rude, disrespectful buffoon.

Or is it just me who thinks that? I expect he's too busy, learning how to use an umbrella, or something like that.
