Tories taking over?

IN further evidence of a Tory tidal wave, Union Flags are flying in windows above the SNP offices in Helensburgh. And in Aberdeen, where Kezia Dugdale has suspended nine Labour councillors for doing a deal with the Tories, anyone visiting the aberdeenlabour.co.uk website is diverted to the Scottish Conservatives.

NATIONALIST MSP John Mason told last week’s education debate how being ‘regularly belted’ at school did not guarantee ‘we turned out to be complete human beings’. This could explain him calling IRA terrorists ‘freedom fighters’ and boycotting Barrhead Travel for voicing concerns over independence. Dog can see why Nicola Sturgeon might wish she could sometimes reach for the belt.
