Helpless lot

ScOTTiSH education in meltdown and the SNP minister for education helpless. Scottish NHS in meltdown and the SNP minister for health helpless.

Now we find our first Minister is helpless to push for her unwanted independence referendum which almost everyone knew beforehand was untenable. Yet she has wasted a huge amount of taxpayers’ money and civil servants’ time on it. We have a helpless government in Holyrood and very severe problems here. Not a great combination, is it?
