Chippy owner who ‘celebrated’ Queen’s death has windows smashed in

Jaki Pickett has also had her membership to the National Federation of Fish Friers revoked

The owner of a fish and chip shop in Scotland who posted a video on social media of her appearing to celebrate the Queen's death last week has had her windows smashed in. Jaki Pickett, who runs Jaki's Fish and Chip Shop in the Scottish Highlands posted a video of herself on the shop's Facebook page popping a bottle of champagne and holding a sign saying, 'Lizard Liz dead and London bridge has fallen', after her Majesty passed away in Balmoral on Thursday. A large crowd of unhappy people then gathered outside the anti-monarchist's shop in the village of Muir of Ord and police were called to move them along. The shop was then shut and Pickett reportedly driven home by police out of concerns for her safety. https://twitter.com/william_duncan5/status/1568682712067887105 https://twitter.com/StephenMcGarry3/status/1569288659974914048 https://twitter.com/maggie06rose/status/1568100812844421125 The shop has since been egged and the windows have been smashed. Pickett's membership to the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) has also been revoked. In a statement, the NFFF said: "The NFFF has been made aware of social media posts made by one of our members that are in extremely bad taste and completely against all of the values our organisation and industry hold dear. "We have discussed this as a board and have taken the decision to revoke the membership of this business owner and we will be writing to them and asking them to remove all association of the NFFF from her business, social media and websites." A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Shortly after 8.30pm on Thursday, 8 September officers attended at a business in the Seaforth Road area of Muir of Ord following a report of a large crowd gathered in the area. https://twitter.com/Louu_5594/status/1567958087448887296 https://twitter.com/DavidMackayy/status/1567973753593675776 “Officers remained at the scene to ensure the safety of all present and the group subsequently dispersed peacefully. "No further police action has been required.” On her website Jaki writes that she once received an award from Prince Charles' office. People who have previously visited Jaki's fish and chip shop have said they've seen chalkboards with conspiracy theories written on them, including anti-vaxx messages, claims 9/11 was an inside job, and that the coronavirus pandemic was faked. A number of recent negative online reviews either mention the boards. It is not clear if the messages are genuine or a response to Jacki's celebration of the Queen's death. Related links:
