No lock down or enslavement to the EUSSR, tough choice for our Scottish friends.

Uh- oh ( reaches for hard hat ) haha

Farage splits whatever right wing vote exists in Scotland, Sturgeon wins ...

[ToraToraTora]

I am grateful to the ED for correcting my OP.

[ToraToraTora]

Elipsis, the SNP are nationalists, nationalists are traditionally referred to as Right Wing by TROB are they not? In the past they have been called Tartan Tories me old china!

[Ellipsis]

OK

[ichkeria]

Christmas comes early for the SNP.
Farage is probably even more unpopular in Scotland than Boris Johnson

[ichkeria]

The SNP are certainly not right wing, not these days anyway

[THECORBYLOON]

I wonder how many candidates he'll be able to cobble together?

[Old_Geezer]

Right wing parties don't traditionally do so well that north, do they ? Good luck to him, but he'd need to be very persuasive to carve anything out IMO. Standing up for what's right doesn't always cut it.

not fixed enough
still hopelessly trivial

there was a gimlet eyed male politician making the usual play
we want your english money from
but when it comes to refugees from London
we have enough covid ourselves thanks

but twas ever thus

[Peter Pedant]

english money from london - - sozza

[youngmafbog]

It's a bit of an odd thing to do IMHO.

Still good luck to him.

Mr TTT
You are comically easily distracted. Farage is going after Boris Johnson. Read past the Express headline, and all his comments are aimed at the Prime Minister and Government. Contesting elections in Scotland is just a side show to keep UKIP/Brexit/Reform party in the headlines.

ConservativeHome website sums it up best...

// he is playing his familiar game of trolling the Tories – piling in on Conservative MP and Party member opposition to the coming lockdown to ramp it up further.

Farage’s best hope of success in British politics is to boost his chances in elections by dividing the Tories, and hoping to peel off members and MPs, as he did with Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless. //

Thought he was in America , helping Trump out .

[douglas9401]

Fannage we think.

[ynnafymmi]

You can imagine Farage meeting Sturgeon.Sturgeon to Farage"who do you hate?"-Farage"everyone in the world apart from Trump".Farage to Sturgeon"who do you hate?-Sturgeon"just the English bas***ds".

[steg]
