Poor sacrificed

Nicola Sturgeon is having such an easy time during this General Election campaign, turning up at any available nursery for a photo op with smiling babies and doting mums, a quick soundbite with waiting media to criticise other parties and call for Scottish independence, and then off home.

She has no manifesto to defend, policies to explain or to be scrutinised but, sadly, she is in danger of facilitating the election of Boris Johnson who, with Nigel Farage, will support a hard Brexit with catastrophic consequences for Scotland.

She is demanding her place at television debates but she has proven that she has absolutely nothing to contribute but negativity and criticism, but is willing to sacrifice the poorest and most vulnerable people in the UK to a Johnson -Farage Brexit.

The majority of voters are sick and tired of Nicola Sturgeon bleating on about independence and nothing else – no mention of economics, education, health, police and massive amount of money wasted on vanity projects such as Prestwick Airport. Also, exasperated and embarrassed at Ian Blackford whining daily and supposedly speaking on behalf of “the people of Scotland”, which he most definitely does not.
