Implications of independence

DOES anyone who wants independence for Scotland really know what it will mean to the ordinary man in the street?

Will we have tax and national insurance rises, or lose our free prescriptions and bus passes?

Will we need a passport to get into England? Will English companies leave Scotland, costing jobs? What will happen to pensions?

We won’t know all these things until after independence but if people are not happy with things it will be too late.

DO you, the people of Scotland, want a second referendum to vote on leaving the EU?

Perhaps a mock referendum could be held in each town to ask the people for their views? Or surely it would be easy to set up a mock poll through a text message?

Lochee lass.

THE Prime Minister has urged people to use the council elections to tell the SNP we don’t want another independence referendum.

I shall use these elections to tell the UK government I reject their hardline benefit sanctions and Brexit.

I’M sick of the squabbling as to whether or not Scottish people want another independence referendum.

Politicians have vested interests and pollsters are frequently wrong. Let’s settle it once and for all (unless circumstances materially change) by holding a referendum to see if Scots want another referendum.
