A LONDON journalist has been told to calm down after making a series of bizarre indyref2 claims. Dan Hodges, who works for the Mail on Sunday, said police will close down polling stations during another independence referendum, as they tried to do in Catalonia. He tweeted: Do people actually realise what we re heading for in Scotland. We re literally going to see the police closing down polling stations. When people say the UK Government should go to court to block a referendum this is where it will end up. At which point independence is nailed on.
