First, we had Arlene Foster, former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, accusing the SNP of being anti-English; anti-Semitic and anti-Indian. Like much of that which characterised the No campaign in 2013/14 it was devoid of any evidence. Ms Foster is a politician for whom I have great respect, due to her faithfulness to her Christianity and the traditions of her support base in Northern Ireland. Wild claims like these though, which she must know in her heart to be untrue, are not worthy of her. Any public inquiry about the way the pandemic was handled by the Scottish and UK Governments that doesn’t scrutinise this isn’t fit for purpose.
