Outrage as drunk Cambridge University student in a white bow tie sets fire to a £20 note in front of a freezing homeless person

A shocked passer-by watched while the apparently inebriated University of Cambridge student, a distant relative of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, allegedly attempted to burn a £20 note in front of a homeless person (pictured left) in the early hours of February 2. Ronald Coyne was named as the student in the video (right) by the Cambridge University Conservative Association (CUCA). He was expelled from
the group after video of the prank was seen by hundreds of students when it was shared on Snapchat. It shows the student struggling to set fire to the note (centre) while the cameraman pans to the homeless person who is stood outside a Cotswold outdoor clothing shop. A spokesman for the CUCA told MailOnline: 'The CUCA committee became aware of serious allegations against Ronald Coyne late last week concerning his private behaviour. There is no room for people who behave like that in our association, any other university association, or frankly our university.' Nicola Sturgeon's office said he was not a 'not a direct relative' of the Minister or her husband but a senior Scottish government source confirmed to the Guido Fawkes blog that he is a 'distant' relative by marriage.
