Letter lashing

-

Senior Scottish figures from across academia, politics and the arts, including Prof Sir Tom Devine and actor Brian Cox, have put their names to an open letter condemning Prime Minister Boris Johnson for “underminin­g democracy” and calling for an extension to Article 50. Taking back control that we supposedly didn’t have as members of the EU suddenly seems to have become handing control to completely unelected fools like Bojo and Cummings and their billionair­e backers to do whatever they want for their own personal gain while ignoring the vast majority of the electorate, parliament and the law. The vast majority of Leavers did not vote for this!

Best news of the day, Spitting Image is returning! Don’t know if it’ll last long though in this so politicall­y correct age, somebody will be off to court at the drop of a hat.

Can someone explain the purpose of a further extension? A blue moon will be the norm before we have consensus. Brian Cox et al are among many with ulterior motives and/or vested interests in thwarting any deal good, bad or indifferen­t!

He’s not the most lucid character admittedly, egotistica­l, self-absorbed, deluded – but he’ll get Brexit done. But his legacy will not be a United Kingdom.
