    Johnson makes ‘unbelievably crass’ joke about Thatcher closing coal mines

    The Guardian says Margaret Thatcher gave “a big early start” to green energy by closing coalmines, Boris Johnson has joked, in comments denounced as “unbelievably crass.”

    On a visit to Scotland on Thursday, the prime minister made a number of provocative comments, stating that a second referendum on Scottish independence is “about as far from the top of my agenda as it is possible to be”.

    During the two-day trip, Johnson also refused an invitation from first minister Nicola Sturgeon to discuss Covid recovery at her official residence, Bute House.
