DOUGLAS Ross, the Scottish branch manager of the Westminster Conservative party, was frequently told he was blind when he was a football referee. His blindness then was as nothing to his total inability to see what is happening in his own party.
He fails to see the corruption, lying, cronyism, incompetence and general chaos emanating from his buffoon of a boss and his Westminster overlords.
He wanders around from one television opportunity to another bleating on about how bad things will be for Scotland when we get independence.

He ignores the damage that his party has inflicted, and will continue to inflict, on Scotland and indeed the rest of the UK.
Meanwhile his deranged boss uses the wonderful roll-out of the vaccines as a smokescreen to try to escape his responsibilities in the mess he and his gang of incompetents have caused.
He wants us to believe that he has led the vaccine roll-out when in actual fact the success has been down to genuine healthcare experts and other extremely able people.
I wouldn’t trust Boris Johnson to run the proverbial sweet shop. Even most of the right-wing newspapers and online media have wakened up to the fact that Johnson’s days are nearing the end.
His crass and hurtful comments about not caring if thousands of dead bodies were piling up in the street must be the last straw.
If not, what exactly has this delusional fool got to do before people say enough is enough?

THE extravagant wallpaper cover-up and attempts from Boris’s henchmen to deflect surely highlights that Downing Street’s walls are devoid of any integrity. The only positive I can think of is that when his son Winifred eventually goes off to the local primary school and his parents are asked to cover his textbooks, they’ll still have a spare roll of “goldchip” to use. That is if it’s not already been put on the skip!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
