There’s just no plan for independen­ce

-

Sir, – I am totally fed up with this never-ending focus on a referendum.

Let us first understand what the detailed plan for independen­t Scotland would be – and the SNP has been refusing to tell us for these past eight years.

At first it was trumpeted that “Scotland’s Oil” would make us all rich. Now, fossilfuel developmen­t is a banned subject. Just one example of how an ever-changing world impacts political and economic planning.

In any democracy, the people being asked to vote should fully understand what they are voting for.

In our case, the SNP continues with its haggis and tartan emotional dreams.

This should not be tolerated in any democracy worthy of the name.

The SNP continues to assert that “Scotland is oppressed by its English neighbours”.

In what way are we oppressed?

We would achieve far more in Scotland if Sturgeon, Blackford and co could properly and positively relate to the UK Government instead of the sniping and insulting behaviour that we have now seen the last four or five years.

SNP voters should be ashamed of themselves for constantly voting for this awful bunch of incompeten­t and selfintere­sted amateurs.
