The Sun’s front page in England was very different to the one in Scotland – only 4 responses you need

Everyone’s talking about the Sun’s front page today, although not necessarily for the reasons they would have hoped.

Leave EU’s official Twitter campaign was especially excited by it.

Top marks to the Sun (although our clucking Corbyn is better 😉 https://t.co/7CUGbElKbf) for calling out the Labour leader who’s suddenly lost his nerve 🐔 for an election.

Chlorinate your act, Jez!

“The obvious conclusion is he does not think he can win,” taunted Boris. 👍

Except they obviously don’t live north of the border, where the so-called newspaper’s front page was rather different.

Spot the difference? And these are the only 5 responses you need.

If ever you wanted an illustration of how tabloids like the Sun play people, look at their contrasting front pages in Scotland and England. One saying ‘floppy Johnson can’t get an election’, the other saying Corbyn is a chicken. It’s mockery to satisfy people’s cynicism #Brexit pic.twitter.com/ehpXDE4Dnt

This is how the posh boys who edit The Sun treat their readers – like fools. The Scottish version tells the truth, the English version is propaganda, cooked up with their mates in Downing Street. It should go on the Tory election expenses… pic.twitter.com/YqMLLXgojD

How Murdoch plays you.

Sun in Scotland…. depicts Johnson as a limp dicked loser. In England all the ire is aimed at Corbyn.

Not the first time it’s done this sort of thing of course. Remember this?

Just the most blatant.
