NICOLA Sturgeon wasn’t the only leader of a Scottish political movement to get a knockback from Boris Johnson this month.

The Prime Minister also turned down a request from A Force For Good to appear at their “counter rally” to the All Under One Banner march through Glasgow.

In a very polite “no” letter, the Tory leader’s assistant, even holds out the prospect of Johnson turning up to join the rag tag bunch of ultra yoons at a future Force For Good event.

The very loud but very small band of union flag wavers are well known to indy marchers.

They’re led by Alistair McConnachie, a holocaust denier, best known for his Union flag shirt. He’s often accompanied by former members of the BNP.

In the letter, the correspondence officer at 10 Downing Street, thanks McConnachie for inviting the Prime Minister to “join the passing marchers on behalf of a Force For Good in Scotland on 11 January.”

The missive continues: “It was very kind of you to extend this invitation. Unfortunately, it is not possible for the Prime Minister to accept, on this occasion”.

The official apologised for not being able to “send a more positive reply”.

McConnachie was cock a hoop with the letter, describing it as an “encouraging response”.

In his initial letter he had asked Johnson to join A Force For Good’s “colourful Red, White and Blue ‘Counter Presence’.”

He told Johnson: “The Scottish nationalists are marching again in Glasgow on Saturday 11 January. They are doing so in order to protest your democratic result and to call for another separation referendum.

“It occurs to us that you may, in your capacity as Scotland’s Prime Minister, have something to say to them.

“We extend an invite to you, in your capacity as Scotland’s duly elected Prime Minister, to join with us and to address the passing marchers using our platform and PA system.”

McConnachie urged the Prime Minister to “consider the advantages".

“You will have no better opportunity,” he added.

Despite the lack of Johnson and the abundance of rain, the last All Under One Banner march attracted tens of thousands of independence supporters.

McConnachie, was expelled from Ukip in 2001 after claiming that gas chambers were not used by Nazis to murder millions of Jews.

He was Ukip’s Scottish organiser from 1999 to 2001, and a Ukip candidate five times, but was barred from the party in 2001 after making comments about the Holocaust in an email to Ukip members.

Ephraim Borowski, director of the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities has described him as a “revisionist fantasist”.
