BM Scotland opinions: Scotland Drug Deaths - Yet SNP obsess about Independence

 DRUG DEATHS IN SCOTLAND

A European Record - Why ?

SNP Making Deals with Greens at Holyrood to push Indy agenda

In spite of all the problems facing Scotland; drug deaths, Covid-19, a struggling economy, struggling NHS, struggling schools and education system.

But First Minister Sturgeon is focussing on an alliance between the SNP and Green Party MSP's at Holyrood to get enough votes to push forward a 'new' Indy campaign.

Seems that the Greens are judged to be enough pro-Independence and Left-wing.

Ferry Services - CAL MAC - Yet Another Public Service and Financial Disaster Overseen by the SNP

2021 - 65% drop in Cal Mac ferry services to the Isles and Hebrides, all ferry services from the West Coast are in crisis due to break downs and ageing, unreliable vessels.  There are two new ferries under construction on the Clyde at the Ferguson Marine shipyards, but these are five years behind schedule, there are on going contract and cost disputes between the ship yard and Holyrood. (So far construction costs have doubled to over £97 million) Another triumph for the SNP government. According to Transport Scotland the SNP ministers have set aside £580 million to cover the next five years of ferry services and Cal Mac - meanwhile essential transport, tourist travel, businesses and essential goods and exports continue to suffer and lose money.  And the SNP insists that it could efficiently govern an independent Scotland !
