Does the SNP calling out Bojo today for his visit to a Vaccine factory in Scotland as unnecessary travel seem a bit wankerish?? Not sure what they think that will achieve tbh.

Not in the slightest. Considering the only purpose of his trip was to try and butter people up. He reckons the independence debate is  'irrelevant' to most Scots

I thought he went to "save the union"?

I'd say most Scots are more concerned these days with staying alive, keeping their jobs, feeding their families and trying not to go away in the head.

Johnson can't even lie competently as he mumbles and stumbles his way around a laboratory in Scotland with his hair in a mess, telling the Scots that they have never had it so good, are fed up with all this pointless constitutional wrangling and don't want another referendum.

Meanwhile as the support for an independent Scotland goes up another notch and the Scot Tory support sinks even lower, campaigners let it be known that their best course of action is to follow  Napoleon's advice  "never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake".

Yeah I honestly think Johnson visiting Scotland was probably a boost for the SNP lol.

Salmond could be a huge thorn in Sturgeon & the SNP's side for a while, he will undoubtedly be assisted by all pro-union media. Sturgeon gets brought down and it's hard to see who else can deliver Independence.

I admit that I am totally clueless here. I thought Salmond was pro-independence as well as Sturgeon and that their differences were down to personal issues. Am I missing something?

No. It just suits the union side to have SNP bickering front and centre as they know this is their best chance of winning any future referendum.

Salmond is about Salmond first.
