Yes, best not to quote the Daily Express when it comes to Scotland. Most of it is made up rubbish. It's not clear what anyone is dealing with yet.

Do the Express think America is going to invade on the basis of just Sturgeon's comments ?

Rather different Boris Johnson to the one who described Trump as " out of his mind" and "unfit" to be President

Trump ...some think he is worth $3bn.

Donald himself would suggest $10bn.

He makes money all over the world.

(...except Scotland, where his golf courses lose hundreds of thousands of pounds...not even "Le Trump" can make money there)

You can follow the Express' link to it's source - I'm currently stuck on poor wifi in a hotel or would have done it - hence the link

The point remains though, he bares grudges so what's the point of antagonising him? where's the upside for Scotland in doing that?

Trump is half Scottish though. Well his mother was anyway.

Shakey.................what does that mean? If his mother is Scottish then of course he is half Scottish?

I see; "made up rubbish", you would know all about that, wouldn't you?

Did the Daily Express claim that America is going to invade Scotland? Or is that something you have just made up?

Hintza

To keep the ball moving along since Shakey is looking a tad shaky on Nicola's lack of statesmanship. We don't want to be accused of mocking the afflicted.

What about that secret Chinese deal?

You remember the one that was signed in secret.

I gather it failed because of the other parties were nasty about it and not because the SNP couldn't organise a pith up in a brewery? Or so says Nicola poor deluded soul that she is, surrounded by a party that has no gravitas.

Same I guess as it was for Boris Johnson and Ruth Davidson when they made their remarks. There is no upside, and his campaign left a very bad taste in a lot of people's mouths over the last 18 months.

I bolded this

he is proud of this like the scots

because Clapton seemed to have missed him being half Scottish, comparing him as 'like the scots' rather than half Scots himself.
