JK Rowling in Twitter row after questioning claim SNP no longer has 'anti-English sentiment'
Harry Potter author in online spat after challenging journalist's claim that 'every trace of ethnic nationalism was expunged from party in 1970s':
JK Rowling is at the centre of a new online row after challenging the claim that there is no longer any anti-English sentiment in the SNP.The Harry Potter author caused a Twitter spat after questioning a statement by a journalist that “every trace of ethnic nationalism was expunged from the party in the 1970s”.
The hugely successful writer, who has been abused repeatedly by so-called “cybernat” trolls for donating £1 million to the Better Together campaign during the referendum, tweeted that it was “quite a claim”.
She asked the writer, Iain Macwhirter, a political commentator for The Herald, a question about the national make-up of those polled:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/SNP/11684501/JK-Rowling-in-Twitter-row-after-questioning-claim-SNP-no-longer-has-anti-English-sentiment.html
She makes some very valid points and rightly points out there is some decent Jocks in the SNP. Its clear there is a substantial amount of Jocks that are anti-English though.
