Letters to the press, 29/11/22: “It was not the UK Government that raised the issue, it was your own party, knowing full well what the result would be. The constitution is a reserved matter, hence one can only think that this is yet another plank in the SNP policy of stoking up grievance”

15 June 2022/in Allan Sutherland, Dennis Grattan, Gerald Edwards, Indyref 2, Letters, Nicola Sturgeon, Richard Allison, Scottish Government, Scottish Independence, SNP /by sm_admin

Letters to the press, 24/05/22: “We’re missing the point on Nicola Sturgeon’s retraction from her “Closing the attainment gap” aim. She has realised that being poorly educated and thoughtless is a major attribute to fortifying the numbers of her followers. So perhaps her next promise will be to close all private schools, so increasing the chances to achieve a zero attainment gap at a mediocre level, providing more fodder for the Indyref2 machine”

Letters to the press, 14/04/22: First Minister shouldn’t throw stones; she’s in her own greenhouse. Political point scoring. It’s up to the SNP to find extra NHS cash. Scottish Greens will work with you…unless they disagree with you.
