Drop dream of independence

Sir, - Nicola Sturgeon doesn’t want anyone to deny Scotland its opportunities. I would suggest this is just what the First Minister will be doing by rejecting the UK and making a laughing stock of herself and the country by pushing forward a teenage dream of an independent Scotland.

Her unreasonable ambitions make her unable to realise we cannot afford to go it alone.

The SNP’s hatred of Westminster is all-consuming and blinds the party to the fact it is destroying our country.

School standards, the NHS and the disgraceful condition of our roads are conveniently swept aside.

This pretendy parliament, as someone so eloquently put it, is not paying its way. This extra layer of government which we, the taxpayers, are having to support, is not worth the money. Wilma Thom. 55 Callander Drive, Forfar.
