Boris Visiting Scotland

[maggiebee]

Why on earth, in the middle of a pandemic, is Boris even contemplating visiting Scotland tomorrow. Does he not follow his own rules?

At the request of Ms Stugeon I shouldn't wonder , she wants Independence this year

[wolf63]

It seems a stupid thing to do when the rest of the country is in lockdown.

[wolf63]

Bobbisox - I don't think that she will want him to visit. The rest of us are unable to cross the border.

[dannyk13]

There are people who's job, career etc involve travel and this includes diplomats and Government officials.But, hey!, any chance to have a go at Boris.

[Bobbisox1]

Then she should refuse to see him if that were the case Wolfe

[davebro]

I don't think he should go - let the wee one stew in her own juice.

[Bobbisox1]

And there are UK journalist scattered around the globe in hotspots like Washington

[Hopkirk]

He's the Prime Minister. Why should he travel throughout the kingdom?

I travel long distance in my job too.

[JimF]

There is absolutely no need for this visit. Any meeting between Johnson and Sturgeon can be held in the cloud, just like any other meeting between any two other people.

[JimF]

"the wee one"

Do you mean Nicola Sturgeon?

[maggiebee]

Bobbi, it certainly isn't at the request of the First Minister. If you read the link you will see that she is not at all happy about his visit.

[Bobbisox1]

But I thought he was having a meeting with her Maggie?
Why else is he going then?

[Bobbisox1]

Arh, she's asked him to cancel going to see her

[anneasquith]

Indeed Bobbie, why else ?

[dannyk13]

//Arh, she's asked him to cancel going to see her//
She did the same with regard to William & Kate.

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, that's what was in the link in the OP...

[lady-janine]

I'm a bit confused. Why wold anyone want to go and see her?

[Mamyalynne]

//The Tory leader is due north of the Border, where it’s thought he’ll be meeting with troops from one of the Army’s Vaccination Centre Setup Teams.//

[Bobbisox1]

Did she insisted the meeting in the first place, err dont answer, of could she would of ,well if it makes her popular amongst some Scots, Brownie points for her than eh?
