I'm not so sure about him

That daft ham in a suit couldn't even manage a bridge across the Thames when he mayor of London. He spunked away £53.5million with absolutely nothing to show for it when trying to build a 'garden bridge'.

How many years has that idea been floated around?
He's saying anything to get people onboard it wouldn't surprise me if it worked.

That bridge would serve nobody except people in east Belfast who like the Scottish islands.

How long would it take Dublin to Edinburgh even? And every method of transport is faster to England.

Ferry, plane.


Swimming.

All the adults here do know Johnson is a populist opportunist who is saying anything to get power but who is going to sell all these Brexiteers out in a heartbeat? Yes?

He's a devious one. The buffoon act won't be long disappearing if he gets the top job.

If we had 10 times the population we have and Scotland 10 times its population there might be a case.

If the bridge was to encourage the orange brigade to **** off back home to Scotchland, I’d be in favour of it.

What point would the bridge be built though ?
The shortest path is 20KM, but that's to a pretty remote peninsula even for Scotland ...

I'd lay the dynamite myself to blow it up
