Joke’s on Sturgeon

THE First Minister has found a sense of humour. expressing a strong desire for a separate Scotland to join Nato may not meet with unalloyed enthusiasm within the SNP but it is her policy, along with joining the EU – membership of which a separate Scotland would not be qualified for.

She told an audience in Washington her ‘independent’ Scotland would play a key role in protecting the world’s seas against Russian aggression. anyone familiar with the SNP administration’s record in commissioning ferries might well find that hilarious – not to say ridiculous.
