Letters to the press, 01/04/22: “Before 2014 I was largely comfortable in my identity; I was Scottish and British. In 2014 it was open to attack for the first time. The SNP has used every election, local and national, to campaign for another referendum where not only your political views are questioned, but your sense of identity as well.”

Letters to the press, 30/03/22: ‘”There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics”. This quote could apply to the SNP regarding the ferries shambles, the Prestwick Airport shambles, the Salmond inquiry and the attempt to rewrite Scottish history.’

Letters to the press, 28/03/22: “The problem in Scotland, however, is the vast majority of our 4.3m registered voters are still oblivious to what is going on, wouldn’t know a defunct Ferguson ferry if it docked in their back garden, and the opposition parties continually fail to breach this wall of apathy with any compelling, positive, convincing message.”

Letters to the press, 18/03/22: Scot-nats can’t even take a joke. Where did £4.8 billion in Covid funds go? SNP have no fresh ideas for Scotland. Scots indy only ensures decades of turmoil.

Letters to the press, 17/03/22: “If the SNP want to keep alive their raison d’etre of Scottish separatism, their best course is to demonstrate how efficient, competent and honest devolved government in Scotland could be. They have failed signally, in almost 15 years, to do that.”

Letters to the press, 10/03/22: “An independent Scotland would be a weak enclave within the British Isles, with no defence facilities and a weak economy. It would surely be an easy target for any military invasion if the current crisis was to escalate”

Letters to the press, 18/02/22: “So, having no indy plan, we have irritating arguments, to divert attention from important issues, but nothing of substance.”
