AN “ultra-Unionist” group has unveiled a series of anti-SNP billboards across some of Scotland’s biggest cities.

The Majority, which has called on the UK Government to “ban secession” altogether, revealed the “SNP are rubbish” billboards in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh this week.

The campaign billboards were put on display with just over a week to go until the local elections are held.

The adverts focus on cleansing issues with have caused problems for Glasgow City Council in the last year, showing fly tipped furniture and giant rats.

The National:

The group has funded the series of ads by running a crowdfunding page, which so far has raised nearly £4000 from just 149 people.

Last tear the group managed to raise £14,600 from more than 600 people to run the #ResignSturgeon billboards and aerial banners which flew across Scotland. In one incident they accidentally drove around a digital ad reading “Resign Sturegon”.

An SNP spokesperson said: "This is a group which seeks to ban political parties which support Scotland’s democratic right to a vote on its future, which is openly hostile to minorities and which has secret pre-election meetings with the Tories and Labour. I’m sure the people of Glasgow can see right through their extremism."

This year’s focus on rats comes despite official figures showing that rat sightings actually went down to 6656 in 2021 – 748 less than the previous year.

Council bosses suggested that rats had become more visible during Covid lockdowns as fewer people were on the streets.

“There is no method of accurately counting a city’s rat population that we are aware of, but estimates do indicate Glasgow’s population is entirely in keeping with the size of the city,” a spokesperson said.

The Majority's campaign has been welcomed by supporters, with one commenting: "This man's passionate hatred of the SNP is an example to us all."

Another said: "Let's hope enough people see them and vote Conservative."

The Majority’s billboards come weeks after it emerged that the group had hosted a meeting attended by senior Labour and Tory councillors.

Glasgow’s Labour group leader Malcolm Cunning joined Tory deputy leader in the city Euan Blockley for the meeting, at which they reached “agreement on key issues”, according to one person in attendance.

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar was urged to “come clean” on why the senior party figure attending the meeting with Tories and other Unionist campaigners.

The SNP’s Bob Doris said: “It is clear Labour have not learned from their mistakes of the past and their unholy alliance with the Tories in 2014 as they continue to hold secret meetings with them and British nationalists.

“They must immediately reveal what the ‘key issues’ were they reached agreement on.”
