Bojo laid low

Who likes to say they are embarrassed by their own country? I have no idea who divulged where Boris Johnson was holidaying. It is not irrelevant and if it turns out to be someone who was trusted with the information, I hope they feel the full force of any disciplinary/legal action.

What kind of society do we live in that our own Prime Minister can’t take a holiday in his home country? What kind of society do we live in that a mother, her very young son and their dog have to curtail a holiday and fly back to London just three days after arriving? Would this have happened in the Yorkshire Dales or Snowdonia? Would this have happened ten years ago in Scotland?

Is this what nationalism has brought to scotland? the scottish Government launched a We are scotland campaign last year claiming that “Scotland’s a great country – but it’s even greater when people come together. Our new campaign celebrates the positive impact of people who choose to make Scotland their home.”

This episode has been no great advert for the supposedly welcoming Scotland.
