Scots do not share Blair-Sturgeon vision

Sir, - Nicola Sturgeon’s praise of Tony Blair’s condescending attitude on Brexit speaks volumes of her obsessive focus on Scotland becoming part of the EU regardless of the cost or claustrophobic consequences.

Mr Blair and Ms Sturgeon would happily see Scotland become a mere region of a political union under the control of a German hegemony, big politics, big business and unelected, unaccountable commissioners.

Mr Blair is the champagne socialist former PM and epitome of the liberal left political elite in which the EU bureaucracy is awash.

This supercilious, arrogant and vain class of international bureaucrats and former politicians like to jet around the world offering their opinions and contacts for obscene fees and have little time for democracy or ordinary people for whom they have contempt.

Multi-millionaire Mr Blair will miss the endless gravy train possibilities of the EU when, as likely, it fails and once Brexit becomes a reality.

Mr Blair was an unquestioning believer in the euro and would have had us in this disastrous currency union.

He was well known for his ambition to become the president of a politically united Europe. His current hysterical outburst reflects his frustration and anger at the 17.4 million “stupid” people who voted against his better judgment. This comes from a leader who led us into a war which the world is still reeling from the consequences of.

Scots voters will have to consider very carefully if they wish this Blair Sturgeon vision for the future of our country.

Fortunately I don’t think Scots (except for Ms Sturgeon and her closest followers) are as gullible as Mr Blair believes. Iain G Richmond. Guildy House. Monikie.
