‘Claim of Right for Scotland’ just another disingenuous Nationalist debate

With a struggling debt-laden economy and problems in all our public sectors, you would think our SNP politicians would have enough to concern them rather than ponder on constitutional issues .

Apparently not, as we learn Mr Patrick Grady SNP MP for Maryhill is to lead a parliamentary debate on the portentously entitled ‘Claim of Right for Scotland’.

As you can guess, this is another tedious constitutional exercise serving as a platform promoting an SNP independence agenda .

You can glean a flavour of this debate from Mr Grady’s initial comments claiming ‘decisions are still being foisted on us’ and that there ‘still exits a democratic deficit’, basically all the usual Nationalist gripes.

He points to Brexit as the need for this ‘Claim of Right’ and says we ‘clearly’ voted to remain whereas the UK as a whole voted leave. This is disingenuous as he knows full well there was nothing at all ‘clear’ about the remain vote as many voted to remain as part of UK not as an independent Scotland in the EU. Needless to say the latest opinion polls confirm that the majority of Scots wish to stay in the UK.

For all his sanctimonious talk of democracy Mr Grady omits to mention Indyref1 where most Sots voted to remain part of UK and the then leadership promising it as a once in a generation event.

Now only two years on we are likely to have a divisive Indyref2 foisted on us based on their devious flawed interpretation of Brexit vote.so much for their lauded democracy. DEREK DREVER Campbell Drive Troon, Ayrshire
