I’m not in the SNP but if anything is going to make me more likely to vote for them, it’s the hysterical insults piled onto Nicola Sturgeon by right-wing M25 media types. In honour of that, I’ve produced this bingo card so we can all fully appreciate their swivel-eyed ravings.
To my Labour friends who revel in this stuff: have decades of kickings from the Mail, the Sun, the Express, the Times and the Telegraph not taught you that your enemy’s enemy is most certainly not your friend?
Please note how many of the insults used belittle her status as a woman. No-one who claims to be “progressive” can applaud that.
To my SNP friens: if there’s anything that makes it less likely to vote SNP, it’s the online abuse received by journalists, politicians and others who hold the party to account. I could have made a similar bingo card using words all to familiar to the Scottish Twittosphere.
To her great credit, Nicola Sturgeon has spoken out against this kind of nonsense. Listen to her. She know what she’s talking about.
