What will you be doing next Sunday at 8pm? If you live north of the border, the ideologically correct answer is clapping for ‘Oor Nicola’. Nicola Sturgeon is turning 50 and several thousand of her more enthusiastic admirers are planning to hold a clap in her honour.
The news was reported, amazingly enough, not in the pages of Rodong Sinmun but in the Daily Record. The salutation to the Supreme McLeader is being organised through Facebook by Siobhan McCann. The Record quotes McCann saying: ’Our First Minister has done an exceptional job throughout what’s been a strange year so far, to say the least. We clapped for our fantastic NHS. We even clapped for Boris at some point (why, I’m not quite sure). Let’s give Nicola the ‘full regalia’ on her 50th birthday, Sunday 19th July at 8pm… Get the pipes and pans oot and cheer once more for oor Nicola! And let’s make sure Westminster hear us!’
Sturgeon’s handling of coronavirus has been middling at best
More and more, I find myself wondering why England doesn’t want independence from us.
