SNP councillor and women's convener Rhiannon Spear
AN SNP councillor who tweeted about Scotland "hating the UK" during Eurovision has said her family has received threats as she reiterated her apology.
Rhiannon Spear, who chairs the Glasgow’s education committee, faced a backlash last month after her Twitter comment during the song contest final which saw the UK entrant receive zero points.
When the committee met today, Tory councillor Euan Blockley asked her to consider her position as chair, saying he had received complaints from parents.
After the UK finished in last place during the contest, Spear had tweeted: “It’s ok Europe, we hate the United Kingdom too. Love Scotland.”
