Sturgeon and her double standards

[Rangersmandownunder]

Patrick Harkness, an engineer at the University of Glasgow, told the SNP leader that her rhetoric around a second independence referendum was making him feel unwelcome in Scotland as a Yes vote would mean he would not be a citizen in the country where he lives.

In an outspoken intervention that won applause, he claimed that her MSPs were allowed to openly discuss how much they hate the English and questioned when she planned to stage a similar event for people from the rest of the UK.

Despite Ms Sturgeon’s claim that more than 450 people were in attendance, only around 250 turned up and there were rows of empty seats in the rear half of the city’s Corn Exchange.

Other questioners asked whether free university tuition will continue for students from the rest of the EU but Mr Harkness later pointed out that the SNP government already “specifically discriminates” against the English, Welsh and Northern Irish by allowing charges of up to £9,000 per year.

Ms Sturgeon insisted her support for Scottish independence was not based on hatred of other nationalities.

But Mr Harkness, 35, told her Scottish nationalists were "sneering at British people". He said: "Your backbenchers openly talk about how much people may or may not hate the English and you do not admonish them. Now you're misrepresenting my Remain vote to further yet more separatism.

"First Minister, I think we should recognise that you are building a cold house too. When are you going to hold an event such as this for UK citizens to reassure us that your nationalists will no longer speak division and hatred against us?”

Ms Sturgeon replied: "I admonish anybody who is anti-anybody on the basis of their nationality, whatever that nationality may be."

Did The Telegraph really create an article out of some guy making a daft remark?

And you have plucked a quote out from Nicola Sturgeon that has absolutely no context or meaning with the tweet you have lumped it in with.


she was answering a question from that zoomer who was attempting to play the anti english card by restating the position of the SG that Scottish independence has nothing to do with ethnicity and where people are from. Anyone living in Scotland is welcome to be part of it, including this guy.

"I admonish anybody who is anti-anybody on the basis of their nationality, whatever that nationality may be. My belief in Scottish independence never has been and never will be based on a sense of where people come from."

Brilliant, well done to that guy who is most certainly not a zoomer as described in a post above which shows the SNP supporters in exactly the light he was talking about. It's about time we stuck up for ourselves so well done to this guy for telling Sturgeon what a lot of us British citizens are thinking. I wish I had been there to see it. The more and more people I talk to are realising exactly what the SNP stand for and also that they are a bunch of crackpots living in la la land.

And as for the Celtic fans they were warned so it would not surprise me if the club were come down on hard by UEFA

No they are not 2 posts of nonsense. The guys remarks were not daft and he is not a zoomer. And I know for a fact some SNP supporters that are definitely very anti English. I also know some anti Northern Irish ones. You are slowly getting found out and about bloody time I say

Hating the English is the very reason Scotnats get out of bed in the morning

I’d rather be English that a Scotnat

IMO the most fervent ones are a complete embarrassment to Scotland. I would rather be anything than one of them

sums it up perfectly I'd say.
