Alex the Groper is causing trouble for Saint Nicola. If he succeeds his allegations would cost her job. Without her halo the Scottish National Party would be a less invincible body. People might notice they’d been making a mess of running a country; the one-party rule would be less attractive; getting a secession referendum (and passing it) would be a trickier task. Luckily for them the Scottish electorate is no more interested in facts than the English were when it came to Brexicide.
Isn’t it appropriate in this Post Truth world that the greatest risk to the Union is the UK Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party, and the greatest risk to Scottish secession is the former Scottish First Minister and SNP head?
