More questions than answers on indy bid
IJUST received Nicola Sturgeon’s ( ballot?) card and leaflet through my letterbox. More cost to taxpayers. Regarding her independence vote bid for next year, she cleverly compares Scotland with 10 existing independent countries but “forgets” to tell us they have been independent for many many years and are part of the EU.
Nor does she tell us how much they pay in tax and insurance and that prices are higher there.
More importantly, she doesn’t tell us how much we will pay in tax and insurance, nor what currency we will use. She states that we will use the pound meantime. Has the Bank of England agreed to this or is this the same claptrap we have heard for years from her and Alex Salmond?
Aye, she can paint a pretty picture but what about our roads? Rubbish bins and everything else she has failed at.
Prove you can do better now Nicola and then we may consider whether you are a fit and proper person to run an independent Scotland. FMK

I met Billy when I was 16 working at Reid’s the bakers on Gordon Street. I got his autograph and he also signed my hand.
It was a pleasure to meet the big Yin. Happy 80th Billy.
