Five times Scottish Nationalists bullied the media

#4. Sarah Smith dogpiled for saying Nicola Sturgeon ‘Enjoyed’ powers over lockdown

Her crime: inadvertently telling the truth?

BBC journalist, Sarah Smith, received a nippy response from the First Minister because she objected to the line “It has been obvious that Nicola Sturgeon has enjoyed the opportunity to set her own lockdown rules and not have to follow what is happening in England and other parts of the UK.”

Always quick to take offence, Nicola said she never “enjoyed” anything less, after which Smith apologised.

Then she apologised again. Then again, even more grovelling than apology #1 and apology #2. Still not enough to pacify bullying Cybernats, of course, having smelled blood like a famished piranha.

Ian Murray MP pointed towards “a cultish mob of silencers” that “paralyse criticisms of Sturgeon”.

A fair comment, but I’ll simply point to the Google Dictionary:

Enjoy – /ɪnˈdʒɔɪ,ɛnˈdʒɔɪ/ – 2. possess and benefit from eg: The Nationalists enjoy powers of veto over any news article which portrays them in a negative light
