'Behind all its decisions, the Scottish Government has one goal in mind: sowing division to break up the union. If we are not careful they will succeed,' writes tomhfh

Looking at Nicola Sturgeon’s polling popularity it’s easy to forget that the Scottish First Minister presided over a care home coronavirus death rate double that of England. It’s easy to miss the fact that Scotland has been significantly behind England when it comes to the rate of testing too.

tomhfh This smells like fake news . Or using minor negative events to counter real success of a more competent government .unfortunately Westminster hold the purse strings!

tomhfh Cannot wait to see this. BorisJohnson is the one whose to blame for this. The moron pretent PM.

tomhfh Wow... you are really getting scared, Nippy haunts your sleep

tomhfh

tomhfh He's not a 'journalist'

tomhfh You can only hope

tomhfh Utterly deranged.

tomhfh We just want Scotland to be a normal, democratic and autonomous country. The Scottish BritNat cultists trying to stop this are the division. Btw, Scotland leaving won't break-up anything. The united kingdom of England, Wales & N.Ireland will remain.

tomhfh Why do you think we keep voting them in?

StewartNial tomhfh All sane scots know this.

tomhfh Yes we will succeed and rejoice breaking away from you right wing imperialist clowns.

tomhfh Bring it on ASAP

tomhfh 😂😂😂😂 You lot are fucking clutching now. What a fucking rag. Your sowing the divisions yourself by putting this hilarious gutter journalism up. Every time this agenda is pushed independence support goes up that little bit more. Keep up the good work!!!

tomhfh You are Absolutely right 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

tomhfh Silly little Tory rag, crap journalism and even more pitiful delusional readership. scotgov have been outstanding on COVID , look at fuckwit Johnson handling there! Scotland is seen as a resource at No10. Times up.

tomhfh 'You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.' -- Eric Hoffer The Britnats are scared, they can see their world collapsing as their precious Union disintegrates. They know they have lost the argument and their only weapon is lies.

tomhfh As opposed to 'Scottish ' Tories, Labour & LibDems - whose sole objective is to promote the callous, corrupt uk Union, whatever hardship & loss of Democracy that costs the sovereign people of Scotland. The sooner Scotland is Independent the better. ScotlandsRightToChoose

tomhfh Tom Harris 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

tomhfh

tomhfh Give them independence,the sooner the better

tomhfh And?.

tomhfh Can't come soon enough. And it is coming.

tomhfh Let them! I can’t understand why anyone actually cares. Obviously great for the scotts but it’s even better for the English if they fuck off. Only problem I can see is there’s no way they’d be able to man their own border. Or pay for their own NHS, schools and anything public

tomhfh Your BS doesn't work. 👋

tomhfh

tomhfh

tomhfh Good luck to them ... would much rather sturgeon at the helm than Johnson

tomhfh This article reinforces view that mainstream media hates idea that one part of U.K. is winning against deadly virus. Didn’t Johnson recently admit Gov made mistakes in early days of virus, so why all hate towards FM. Little was known about virus then & still loads uknowns today

tomhfh What a pathetic attempt at journalism. Not once has there been an example o Nicola Sturgeon politicising t health crisis. not once. The unionists are now terrified of her, simply because, the public, not only in Scotland but throughout the UK see her as the only efficient leader.

tomhfh WE will be very happy to have the Union break up, thank you. Now...’fiasco’...would be interested in your word du jour for England’s Covid performance......

tomhfh Ye ragin'? 😘

tomhfh Give them absolutely nothing,

tomhfh Man this is drivel from tomhfh. Perhaps he should consider the possibility that the one goal is the protection of the public from Covid.

petermccue1 tomhfh It's true, the Scottish Govt wants to break up the union however you're wrong in how they're going about it. They're not sowing division, they're simply doing a better job governing than Westminster is and convincing voters that way.

petermccue1 tomhfh Shut up ffs. The union has been finished for some time. Your piece is gutter journalism at it's very best.

tomhfh Jeez we all want independence, but this toilet paper is is only one ply

tomhfh This Govt has divided the nation.

tomhfh The Tories are doing enough of the division sowing themselves. They have practically gifted us the drive fore independence and thanks very much

tomhfh Pure hatred of the English bet her family background is Irish republican

tomhfh Funny that .. there's quite a few of us who are 'plotting' like fury to break the union .. what a coincidence..

tomhfh Scotland have succeeded. We like any other country are not answerable to another. As like any country we can go independent. Which funny enough was Britain own words. Also they had no central government from London n HM treasury until over hundred years? After we united?

tomhfh The Torygraph there, going full-on spittle-flecked-gammon-face. hafta love the 'if we're not careful..' line. if the Tories had any care at all for the Scots (yes the Scots, not just the SNP) the Union might not be in danger. but they treat us with contempt, that's the problem.

tomhfh No let them have there independent Scotland with the “groat” as the currency and a low oil price environment.. good luck.. they will be fucked within 5 years.. then Stergeon will be back on panto...

tomhfh Nicola has turned the pandemic around in Scotland. Boris cares about £108 million going to each of his friends offshore accounts and plebes can GTF. So yes, we want out of this ‘union’. It’s called taking back control

tomhfh She says ‘it’s not about politics’... She means ‘it’s all about politics’.

tomhfh Good, I can’t wait until that glorious day comes

tomhfh

tomhfh More crap from the Barkley bros. The Govt. you help put into power created the Covid Fiasco and she has mitigated the damage where she can. The ludicrous Brexit you promoted is very likely to destroy the Union. Why do you want to drag the rest down with your little Englanders.

tomhfh The Scottish people need to remember that whilst they get to vote themselves out of the Union it’s the English who’ll decide whether to vote them back in. I also hope they love their EU (if they get back in) imposed hard border!

tomhfh WE ? who is WE Bring it on, the people of Scotland will make it happen.

tomhfh The unionist have squeezed their precious union so much they have crushed it. Its over, it has no meaning anymore except to prop up English Nationalism. Let it go gracefully.

tomhfh Aye we will.

tomhfh A union of equals lol give me a break

tomhfh 'Nicola Sturgeon is using nationalism to deflect from Scotland's Covid fiasco'

tomhfh Let's compare with England shall we ? Scotland 72 hours without a death from Covid 19 how many in England ? Today 7 new cases in Scotland over 800 in England 🙄

tomhfh That woman is so much less cavalier than our prime minister it is making her look good. I think she may be trying to be better on purpose. It has to stop!

tomhfh That's rich, coming from him. Brexit has sealed the deal, Mr Harwood - and you're partly to blame. Whilst it is sad to see what has become of English politics (not all, just a large part of it), I thank you for speeding up the inevitable Independence of Scotland.

tomhfh Quicker we rid ourselves of Jimmy mcbenifits and the frisps the better we need a vote on independence in England

tomhfh Behind this headline is the fear that NicolaSturgeon is becoming too popular among the electorate who have had the chance to see what a great First Minister she is during this pandemic and there's real fear among Unionists because an Independent Scotland is coming soon

tomhfh Agreed and if the Nats prevail , then I guess we should let them go

tomhfh Given the Johnson government can’t blame them

tomhfh Dont see the issue let the scots do one. We are better off without them. Bored of hearing rhetoric after rhetoric.

tomhfh Good riddance! They'll soon be begging for English tourists.

tomhfh They have succeeded. And it was not the Scottish government that is to blame. It is the English government, and its I'll considered decision to leave Europe, that put the wind back in the sails of the Scottish independence movement

tomhfh Aqui Brasil sindicatos ajudam o narco e bandidos com pautas que atacam a família e de cristã. Argentina pior.

tomhfh Hopefully they will.

tomhfh If there was a case for compulsory face masks.

tomhfh Torygraph rage because their hero has blood all over his hands. He has been shown to be a blistering baffoon with a short attention span which has resulted in thousands of deaths. As soon as Nicola could she took Scotland down a path where our cases are now 10 times lower.

tomhfh Is that a bad thing?

tomhfh Who cares? We would prefer not to be subsidising Scotland with millions of pounds of taxpayers money so if they want to leave they will have to live within their means & will probably come back with a begging bowl

tomhfh Has no need to sow division. Johson and Co is doing the job for them

Oftheforest2 tomhfh Has this woman got a book of ‘tricks to try to get ones own way’. She’s like a bouncing bomb.

UK_4_Democracy tomhfh So tell us something we don't know. Better still, tell us something we actually care about!

tomhfh This is the only way for nationalism to succeed. Econonomically the SNP have turned us into a basket case and they've already turned Scot against Scot. Now they are trying to turn England into the enemy and sway rUK opinion against Scotland.

tomhfh Little Englander sounds worried.

tomhfh This is not about politics you clowns. It’s about saving lives. Why do you think our death rate is lower than England’s ? Go on...... take a wild guess.

tomhfh Bollocks😷😷😷

Oftheforest2 tomhfh Pictures of this bird makes me lose a erection

tomhfh I think the Boris and co are doing a great job of breaking the union..good riddance,it's an old and outdated union and has zero purpose in a smaller more connected world..as for your attack on Nicola Sturgeon..I hope your paper and all the hate writers lose their jobs, disgrace

tomhfh So is Northern Ireland and Wales doing the same

tomhfh Predictably hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

tomhfh As others see us...

tomhfh Unfortunately the UK government’s fiasco is distracting more significantly from the Scottish fiasco.

tomhfh More 💩 from the Torygraph

tomhfh Oh dear is she doing far better than blustering dithering Boris.

tomhfh The thing is if you believe all the threats and propaganda from south of the border you would expect England just to let Scotland go - but the English don’t. It is an abusive relationship where supposed love for Scots is peppered with English threats, insults and punishment.

tomhfh Behind all its decisions, the UK Government has one goal in mind: sowing division to break up the European union. They won’t succeed.

errjustsaying tomhfh Yeah we pay for all her mistakes,such is her hatred ,but still tries to bite the hand..

tomhfh The ‘Nationalsts’ often hold up Scandinavian countries as an example, but they are not these countries, they have a different hstory, economy and economic base ! They look to the EU for their future but the EU has made no committment and why should they ?.....cazy politcs !

tomhfh Let them sow their seeds of division, it should come with total independence from England which means no more income from English tax payers. See how you get on without the £££s & your free NHS subscriptions etc.

tomhfh Like doing everything different to the rest of the UK, yes we can see

tomhfh Hope they do 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

tomhfh Boris Johnson is very unpopular. Jackson Carlaw is a non-entity. Ruth Davidson is a busted flush Scotland was lumbered with an additional £3 billion of U.K. debt but received only £21 million in spending Tories think punishing Scots will derail independence Think again

tomhfh Hope so, then it'll be fun to watch them come crawling back again when they find out that it's a real-world out there.

tomhfh Rubbish

tomhfh And he’s 100% correct.

tomhfh Remind us all of the Telegraphs circulation in Scotland.

tomhfh This is a basic and regressive argument. If there has been a competent government in Westminster the whole of the UK would have been united under one leader. They were not involved in decisions and briefings so had to go on their own. This is a failure of Boris’ leadership.

tomhfh You want to look at sowing division with the Scots, just look at the antics of Boris's clowns, some very senior indeed. They are doing more than anyone to hasten the demise of the Union.

tomhfh Twaddle.

tomhfh Absolutely delulsional. Lockdown is a disaster in Grampian and now we have illegal immigrants and locals telling oridnary people Covid doesn't exist..... SecondWave

tomhfh Scotland would be better off without the rest of the UK dragging them down though

tomhfh Let ‘em go
