    A CALL in an English newspaper for the beheading of Nicola Sturgeonbecause she triggered the process for a second independence referendum has sparked anger and disbelief in Scotland.

    There were so many complaints from Scots about the headline “Nicola Sturgeon is a liar and a traitor – off with her head!” in yesterday’s Telegraph, it later changed it to “Nicola Sturgeon – another treacherous queen of Scots – has miscalculated”.

    The controversial headline highlighting columnist Allison Pearson’s piece about the First Minister’s announcement triggered a social media frenzy with people expressing their outrage at what they say amounts to “incitement”, especially in the wake of the political murder of Labour MP Jo * in June 2016.

    In her column, Pearson takes a swipe at Sturgeon’s appearance, comparing her to “The love-child of a Bay City Roller and a Shetland Pony”.

    Although Pearson may not have written the headline, she is not shy about making her views on Sturgeon known. In one tweet she wrote: “I suspect more Scots will vote Stay this time round and Sturgeon has signed her own death warrant. #indyref2”.

    Police Scotland is currently investigating a “catalogue of horrific abuse” against the First Minister, including death threats and threats of violence.


    Footnote,the story was first printed in March 2017,it wasn't until I checked the actual date it dawned on me,I don't know why The National posted the link on Twitter tbh.
