Photo of Nicola Sturgeon with thumbs up becomes hilarious meme
Sinead ButlerMay 08, 2021 Twitter has made this photo of Nicola Sturgeon the latest political meme. Getty Images Whenever there’s a big political event, we can always expect there to be some bizarre, funny or cringeworthy moments that inspire a wave of memes and this year’s Scottish Parliamentary elections was no exception. A photo of Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon casually giving a thumbs up to reporters as she campaigned for re-election in her constituency of Glasgow Southside – while, it has to be said, not really looking all that jolly at all – has been turned into a hilarious meme by the amused Twittersphere. It appears to have started when scriptwriter Richard Flynn shared the image with the caption: “Found my new favourite reaction image.”Found my new favourite reaction image https://t.co/0XNcDL3Iuj — Richard Flynn (@Richard Flynn) 1620328843 The post received more than 10,000 likes and prompted a string of other hilarious reactions.
