Scots ‘Scrooges’

-

Twenty-five Scottish businesses have been “named and shamed” by the UK government for failing to pay employees the national living and minimum wage. Since the SNP is so conscious of its devolved powers, why did it not do its own monitoring of this situation?

Derek Farmer Because they’re already doing enough to scare businesses away without making it worse by enforcing employment laws.

Norton Lux ... because it has nothing to do with independen­ce.

So, by definition, you are saying that the SNP’S job is independen­ce! Think again, it is to govern the affairs of Scotland according to the powers devolved from Westminste­r, a job it is evidently incapable of doing, given its record over the Scottish Health Service, Polis Scotland and Scottish education, to name but three.

Fifer Now we see what immigratio­n is all about, paying starvation wages to workers. Is the government of Scotland in collusion with these companies?
