Cambridge University student tried to burn 20 note in front of homeless man
Mother says Ronald Coyne, a very distant relative by marriage of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, has since handed out teas, coffees and sandwiches to street homeless
Peter Walker @petejohn_walker a day ago
A mother has described her sons attempt to burn a £20 note in front of a homeless man as thoughtless and cruel.
A video was shared on social media platform Snapchat showing University of Cambridge student Ronald Coyne attempting to light the cash note over the road from a rough sleeper.
Mr Coyne, who is believed to be a distant relative by marriage of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, has been expelled from the Cambridge University Conservative Association (CUCA).
I dont really know why hes done something so thoughtless and cruel, said Sandra McLaughlin, speaking to a journalist from her family home in Livingston, West Lothian, in Scotland.
