Arrogance of Conservatives

Sir, - The sheer arrogance and complacency of Conservative voters such as Jill Stephenson (May 1) is astonishing.

She states SNP supporters have swallowed propaganda whole because we fear what the Conservatives will be capable of if they get an enhanced majority.

She suggests SNP supporters have a persecution complex. I would counter this by suggesting the Conservatives have a superiority complex. They believe they have a God-given right to rule.

The truth is that we have had decades of Tory rule proving that Scotland has been treated as a second-rate colony.

In England there is massive discontent because of the state of the NHS. There are huge problems in education, with schools having to cut staff and increase class numbers.

What David Cameron did with the Brexit referendum has caused the worst constitutional crisis this country has known.

This Conservative government is the most right wing the country has had in my 68 years and does not reflect the politics of Scotland. Our fear is not a matter of propaganda but as a result of years of experience of what the Tories actually do when they have the power.

The only way that Scotland can be certain that the Tories don’t clobber Scotland is to vote for the SNP and independence.
