Putting British industry first

Madam, – A £2 billion wind farm project in the firth of Forth is run by French energy firm EDF and the construction work is going to Indonesia (Unions resurrect the battle for BiFab, Courier, May 23)?

Just what is the Scottish Government doing?

We had the steel work for the new bridge going to China when three yards on the Forth were more than capable of doing it.

The politicians call this foreign investment. I call it exploiting the taxpayer who will ultimately cover all the cost of building.

Just how much subsidy will be paid every year to this French company?

Do any of our politicians benefit from this project? Why all the secrecy?

Why do we need French or any other

foreign companies to own our utilities?

We give more than this away in Foreign Aid every year.

All I see is a political party selling the country for short term profit for the few.

We need a leader who puts the country, the people and British industry first.

We need an elected head of state to drive the country forward and protect us from the politicians.
