Don’t fall for SNP’s out of touch campaign
Have you seen Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP bus travelling around Scotland on a 21-day‘cost of living tour’ ahead of next month’s council elections?
You can’t miss it. It’s the colour of cat sick and has a giant photo of the self-styled ‘chief mammy’ of our nation emblazoned on the side.
Sweeping presidentially through our communities while preaching about rising living costs seems remarkably crass, even for this out-of-touch First Minister. And to be chauffeured to her emissionspewing diesel bus by government limo hardly squares with the Sturgeon who spent COP26 stalking Greta Thunberg for a selfie.
There have been a couple of highlights. The most high profile being when she posed for selfies in a barber shop. She cavorted with customers while flouting her government’s law to wear a mask.
This being the same law that she’s spent over two years relentlessly hectoring ordinary Scots to stick to.
Days after this rank Sturgeon hypocrisy, her SNP bus was seen parked on the Clyde coast. In the background was CalMac’s stricken Arran ferry the MV Caledonian.
Islanders should have had a new lifeline ship years ago were it not for Sturgeon’s epic inability to provide basic public services.
Which brings us to the matter of the council elections in less than two weeks’ time.
So what else is on the side of the SNP’s cat-sick-express?
Maybe plans for your children’s schools? Or local road and transport policies? Perhaps something about libraries or police stations? Some thoughts on the council tax - which Sturgeon and her old pal Alex Salmond pledged to scrap in 2007?
Of course not. Instead, in bold lettering, is the SNP’s imbecilic instruction ‘to send Boris a message’.
Yes folks, there’s an election round the corner and the duplicitous Nationalists are trying to take you for fools again.
SNP chief executive Peter Murrell, who happens to be Sturgeon’s other half, wants you to think that Scotland’s local council election is about the Prime Minister.
Increasing numbers of Scots realise they’re being played by a party built on greeting-faced grievance.
There is something you can do about it. The election on May 5 is an opportunity to get the focus of Renfrewshire Council onto your local priorities.
Scottish Conservative candidates will do exactly that. They will help school pupils catch up, get roads fixed and protect services while keeping council tax increases low.
They also all oppose the SNP’s reckless plot to impose another divisive referendum, unlike Labour, who have at least 25 candidates who think another referendum is okay.
Labour are already in coalition with the SNP in six Scottish councils and they will always do deals with them rather than work with pro-UK parties.
You don’t need to paint it on the side of a bus – but you can send Sturgeon a message by voting Scottish Conservative on May 5.
