Boxer Josh Taylor targets Sturgeon with ‘SNP fascist state’ tweet

Taylor has also promoted 'anti-vax' views in recent months

Boxer Josh Taylor has criticised Nicola Sturgeon on social media in an explosive outburst by calling Scotland a 'fascist state under her SNP'. The 31-year-old Scot - who currently holds four belts and is the world's undisputed light-welterweight champion - retweeted a video posted by GB News journalist Dan Wootton. In the video, police officers can be seen removing patrons from a pub that is shut, with customers adamant that the pub was actually still open. Wootton criticised the First Minister with his caption on the video, writing: "Sturgeon is criminalising people having a good time. Taylor - who has promoted 'anti-vax' views on his social media accounts in recent months - shared Wootton's tweet as he made an extraordinary allegation in a now-deleted post.
