Nanette Milne, Scottish Conservative MSP for the North East has called on Dundee East SNP MSP, Shona Robison to apologies to Dundee University and withdraw her criticism of a Dundee academic after she complained about a historian expressing his opposition to independence.
Nanette Milne, Scottish Conservative MSP for the North East said:
“Academics should be entitled to express their individual opinions regardless of which side of the independence argument they are on.
“Concerns have been expressed to me that the SNP and Yes campaigns have been intimidating people in a desperate move to cover up the black holes which exist in their arguments for separation.
“We still live in a free country where freedom of speech matters.”
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson MSP commented:
“It is simply unacceptable for the SNP to try to muzzle or threaten anyone who does not agree with their separatist agenda. I’m not sure this kind of bullying and intimidation is the best advert for the SNP’s vision of a future separate Scotland. In fact, it is chilling.”
