Better Together deletes ‘Nazi’ tweet woman’s blog post

A blog post has been pulled from Better Together’s official website amid allegations its author had expressed “unacceptable” views on the internet.

Yvonne Hama’s online article, “Why I’m saying No Thanks”, appeared on the pro-Union campaign group’s homepage on Sunday but was inaccessible by Monday.

It came after claims Ms Hama had previously retweeted former BNP leader Nick Griffin and compared the SNP to Nazis.

A Better Together spokesman said: “Yvonne is not a politician. However, views like this are completely unacceptable.”

According to reports, Ms Hama, a ‘single mother from Airdrie’, sent a tweet to Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in January 2012 which read: “u will like borgen…german…#snp nazis ring a bell :)”.

Ms Hama appeared to have tweeted a photograph of herself alongside Better Together head Alistair Darling on Saturday.

The text alongside the photograph read: “Was honoured to speak at the better together event in coatbridge alongside @TogetherDarling #indyref.”
