The conspiracy theory of a Westminster “sabotage”. The principal criticism of Scotland’s handling of the pandemic has been the shortage of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). In response to this criticism, the SNP have pushed the narrative through their media (not least the front page of The National) and social media channels that English firms were restricted by Westminster from selling PPE to Scotland. This malicious untruth was allowed to fester for two days before any SNP official or friendly media outlet corrected the record. Though by that time, this absurd narrative of a plot against Scotland was thoroughly embedded in the public imagination – as was probably intended.
