“SNP nightmare“ versus “Stop pounding the Nats!“: the two faces of The Sun

Murdoch mayhem.

It looks like The Sun doesn’t quite know what to make of our scoop this week that Alex Salmond would vote down a Tory minority government.

While the paper warns of an “SNP nightmare” of “five years of mayhem and misery”, the Scottish edition calls on the main parties to stop “pounding the Nats”, praises Salmond for being “consistent” and looks to Scotland’s “serious influence”.

Have a read (thanks to eagle-eyed tweeter @jpublik):
