SNP - Making A Mockery Of Scotland's Democracy


While Nicola Sturgeon talked up the case for IndyRef2 senior SNP figures made a complete mockery of Scottish democracy by sharing bare faced lies and bogus claims on Twitter about Ukrainian refugees.

The Times reports that Deputy First Minister, John Swinney, and Christina McKelvie, Equalities Minister, were involved in the exercise along with senior SNP figures.

The position of Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish Government appears to be that SNP Ministers can say what they like - even lie through their teeth - so long as they lie through personal Twitter accounts.

An ugly, shameful business.

Scotland has already welcomed 7,286 displaced people from Ukraine, 4,666 of whom arrived under the super sponsor scheme.

How embarrassing.

The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull.
