Boris Johnson visits Scotland at the height of the pandemic

Nicola Sturgeon has revealed she is starting to worry Prime Minister Boris Johnson is “actually now almost planning for” a no-deal Brexit.

Why does he refer to "Westminster cash"? Surely that money is made up of taxes from all four nations.

Pauline Morgan

This is why the covidiots won’t stay at home either. No unnecessary travelling.

Jacques Georgie Aitch

Boris Johnson should stay in London, not pander to Sturgeon!

Gary W Holmes

Where will the clown be hiding?

Naomi MB

How about you keep him in England?

Catherine Dennington Fee

He should not be coming to Scotland I can't travel to Livingston to see my sister or could not go to see my other sister who has now died lonely, but you can all travel for stupid talks which can be done virtually. You don't have to meet up in person, and you wonder why the public are doing what they want. If you all have rights then more so us, the public. The public need to start getting their voice heard or this dictatorship will only get worse.

Margot Stewart

No question that the timing is unfortunate. Another few weeks and it would have coincided with Sturgeon's ignominious resignation.

Gene Lennox

This is why the country is confused, there different rules for different people. Lockdown should be for everyone.

Garrick Thomson

Travel to and from Scotland is prohibited under lockdown, so stay where you are. If he comes up then Police Scotland should arrest and charge him, just like they did with Margaret Ferrier.

Gordon Ward

What happened to stay home, save the NHS?

Craig Ronald

He's simply coming up to put wee Nippy in her place. Hopefully he tells her to stop concentrating on making Scotland a defenceless third world country and get on with the job in hand.

Lorraine Blyth

This visit is a waste of time and money. Makes a mockery of the “Don’t travel except for essential” reasons. Him trying to convince us we are better off shackled to Westminster is not essential.

Alex Monaghan

PM is very welcome.

Jamie Gordon

The way you could look at it is, how many people are travelling down to England and back up to Scotland every week for essential purposes like work, and they are allowed? So same thing really, is it not?

Debbie Coyle

Since he's allowed to travel, I think I will take my son to the park, since he's been stuck in for ages.

Tom Davidson

He is prime minister of the UK, like it or not. He is therefore entitled to come and speak to people here. Coming to Scotland is not as bad as letting Celtic go to Dubai.

Alan Gerrard

The fact that the visit of the UK PM is upsetting all the nationalists is one reason why I welcome his visit!

Pauline Travers

He should be stopped and returned back to where he belongs.

Janet Barnes Begbie

We are all supposed to be in lockdown. Why should Boris be any different? Totally no need for him to come to Scotland. Like many millions, I can’t go and visit my son who lives two miles away from me, so why should this clown be any different?

Charlie Samuel James

So when Boris comes it’s completely against the law, even though it’s part of his job people still go mental. But Sturgeon can travel back and forth from Glasgow when she has the choice to stay in Edinburgh. Her own MPs aren’t exactly following the rules very well either. Like him or not, he’s our prime minister.

Tracy Oyston

He shouldn't be coming to Scotland He is only giving Sturgeon and her followers ammunition for independence that most of Scotland doesn't welcome. Think of that before you travel up.

Graeme Somerville

Purely political, everyone can see that. The way Gove put it across, we should be grateful for his “leadership” (priceless) and basically bend the knee and accept the ramblings of a right wing, Old Etonian schoolboy... never!

Jacquie McLeish

According to Gove his visit poses no risk to public health. Neither does going to visit my family then, according to this logic. Lead by example.Thankfully I believe in the spirit of what we are being asked to do. Stay away bufoon Boris
