Oh dear. With the SNP thought to be on manoeuvres over a second independence referendum, today the party have been at pains to stress that any future vote would be down to the actions of Theresa May’s government. So, Angus Robertson must have thought he was in luck when ‘Tony Robinson OBE’ retweeted him saying exactly this. The deputy leader of the SNP took to Twitter to say he was ‘genuinely starstruck’.
Only it was the wrong Tony Robinson. Rather than the Blackadder actor, this ‘Tony Robinson OBE’ is a ‘Speaker & Author on “Freedom from Bosses Forever”‘.
As for the other Robinson? Well, during the last independence referendum, the Labour supporting actor voiced his support for the union — saying Scottish independence is a gamble that is not worth taking.
