A UNIONIST group has launched a second billboard campaign calling on First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to resign - with EIGHT adverts popping up in the central belt this time round.
The Majority, run by Mark and Mary Devlin, raised over £5700 from 152 donations to run the second campaign in an attempt to oust the SNP leader.
Last time around, the pair were left red-faced after a van carrying the #ResignSturgeon message had a very visible spelling error.

However, that didn't stop the group, who describe themselves as “Scotland’s leading anti-Nationalist media”, from launching a fresh billboard campaign in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
In a social media clip uploaded on Monday afternoon, Mark Devlin, wearing a beanie hat, was filmed in front of one of the billboards understood to be located in Patrick, Glasgow.
He told The Majority's followers: "Look at that. That is the message that you are sending to Nicola Sturgeon.
"Your time is up Nicola, resign Sturgeon.
"Thank you to everyone who donated to the crowdfund if you would like to donate to extend the reach of the campaign on social media please go to our website.
"Resign Sturgeon."

A second post directed followers to a donation page, which reads: "Let your voice be heard! Let's put #ResignSturgeon billboards up all over Scotland.
"The more the merrier (for us, not for Sturgeon).

"Our last #ResignSturgeon campaign was a huge success, so let's make this one even better. We need to hurry, so tell your friends!"
The website also touted #ResignSturgeon t-shirts for sale.
The Majority's last fundraising round, which brought in almost £12,000 from 480 donations, was used to pay for a plane to fly over Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres with a banner reading "resign Sturgeon" and three billboards - one each in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
