Follow RT on The SNP and its leader Nicola Sturgeon can t stop blaming the English for all their country’s woes, from Covid to poverty to failing schools – because the fault really lies with the dismal SNP government itself.
This week, Scotland s first minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon again attracted headlines for basically telling English people not to come to Scotland for fear of spreading Covid. While Sturgeon would no doubt pass this off as a sensible measure to combat the pandemic, the reality is that a latent and divisive anti-English sentiment underpins the SNP s core message in favour of independence.
NICOLA Sturgeon has warned that rising Covid-19 cases and a new variant of the virus that “may be more transmissible, with a faster growth rate” could force her to change plans to relax social distancing rules over the Christmas period. The First Minister told MSPs she was considering reducing both the number of days people can get together, and the overall numbers of people allowed within one “bubble”. While Sturgeon said she hoped for a joint approach across the UK, she also made clear that Scotland could go its own way. Last night a call between Michael Gove and ministers throughout the UK in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast ended without a decision.
