Points of principle

THERESA May, in the heat of Brexit, races off to sell weapons of death and destruction to an unelected government in Saudi Arabia who publicly behead their own citizens and use our weapons to kill innocent women and children in the Yemen.

Another government minister travels to the Philippines to sell weapons to president Rodrigo Duterte, a man who encourages his people to kill drug addicts.

Meanwhile, our First Minister speaks at the UN on gender equality and the rights of women. But who do some Scots criticise? Nicola Sturgeon. The hypocrisy of SNP Bad. Graham Cunningham, Glasgow

Trading places

MUCH is being made by the SNP of the benefits of Nicola Sturgeon’s trade visit to the USA.

What about the demise of US factories already here, like Jabil and Ethicon in Livingston?

At Jabil, 250 workers are losing their jobs and the outlook is precarious for 200 jobs at Ethicon.

It’s time the Scottish Government did what they are paid to do – safeguarding the Scottish economy.

WEDNESDAY’S column by Annie Brown should be compulsory reading for your unionist readers and contributors. If the contrasts she highlights between the mothers and the others (Lords, royalty and Government elite) don’t hit home, then I really don’t know what their definition of a social conscience is.
