Letters / Closet SNP fan

I was reading a letter today, and at the second paragraph I thought…hmm… this must be from Phillip Andrews of Unst (Condign punishment; SN, 25/05/15)

Why?

Because in a letter about Alastair Carmichael’s behaviour re. lying about the Nicola Sturgeon leak, he just has to mention the SNP again, in a vile manner which I have seen from him time and time again.

What’s wrong with him? He seems ‘incapable’ of ‘keeping his infantile fingers’ from spouting hate about the SNP.

Oh, wait a minute – methinks he doth protest too much! I bet he’s a closet SNP fan!

That’s the only thing I can think of to explain how obsessed he is.
