Letters to the press, 21/07/22: “What on earth was First Minister Nicola Sturgeon doing at the Open in St Andrews at the weekend wearing golfing attire, carrying a golf club and stopping by a practice area to address a golf ball?”

Letters to the press, 19/07/22: “Currently, all is not rosy in SNP ranks. Ms Sturgeon has turned out to be a divisive character not only to the country but to the opposition and even to those in her own party not adhering to the party line.”

Letters to the press, 12/07/22: “Can we now add the gift of precognition to Keith Brown, depute leader of the SNP’s, talents? How does he know that “the next prime minister will still not have Scotland’s best interests at heart”. If he is not blessed with these powers, did he ascend to Arthur’s Seat when the moon is waning crescent to speak with a shawl-clad crone to gain this insight?”

Letters to the press, 29/06/22: “Ms Sturgeon demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of past and current economic circumstances. The problems, she says, are due to “Tory austerity” and Brexit. Where has she been these last few years? Has amnesia set in? I distinctly remember her invading our television sets day after day to give gloom and doom reports about, er, now what was it? Oh, yes, Covid…”

Letters to the press, 21/06/22: “Nicola Sturgeon stated last week: ‘Independence does not guarantee a better future.’ Andrew Wilson has been stating for years: ‘Independence will be hard with no guarantee of success. In 2019 he said: ‘Independence would mean more, not less austerity.’ One question: why do they want to make life hard’ for the people of Scotland when there is no ‘guarantee’ of a better future?”
