What about austerity imposed by the SNP?

-

We have heard ‘Tory austerity’ mentioned so many times by the SNP it has become a mantra.

But any past Tory austerity there may have been fades into insignific­ance when compared to that imposed by the SNP over the past decade-plus. Nationalis­t cuts in Scotland have been savage and have been in great part the reason for our country carrying the shameful tag of being the worst in Europe for drug deaths.

Equally galling is the fact that in the same period the SNP have found plenty of money for their pet nationalis­t vanity projects – such as the shipyard they nationalis­ed and is now teetering on the brink and the opening of ‘’pretendy’’ embassies abroad, or much more expensive ‘Scottish’ vaccinatio­n certificat­es
