London lefties: "I tell you what, that Nicola Sturgeon is really impressive."

Scottish lefties: "She's quadrupled austerity to councils and still blames the Tories for everything she's responsible for that's gone bad."

London lefties [not remotely listening]: "So brilliant."

Scottish lefties: "You realise she won the last Scottish election on a pledge not to raise income taxes? Exactly like the Tories?"

London lefties [still completely oblivious]: "She's just so right about how awful the Tories are. I wish I could vote for her"

Scottish lefties:

London lefties: "She's so right about Brexit and its economic damage."

Scottish lefties: "She campaigns for Scotland to leave the UK, doing huge economic damage, and lies about Scotland being able to stay in the EU afterwards."

London lefties: "Yes, staying in the EU is good."

Scottish lefties: "You are against dividing people with new borders and you oppose the dangerous nationalism that created Brexit, right?"

London lefties: "Oh absolutely."

Scottish lefties: "So...?"

London lefties: "I wish the SNP stood here so I could vote for them."
