No Nuclear Submarine base or Royal Navy on the Clyde if the SNP has its way.

 No Nuclear Submarine Base or Royal Navy on the Clyde if the SNP has its way.

An Independent Scotland will remove the Faslane base, its nuclear submarine docks, the Royal Navy facilities and repair yards. ( A lot of jobs will go with them).

The SNP has once again been trumpeting about independence for Scotland, and how that visionary First Minister Nicola Sturgeon believes her new version of Scotland will function on international matters. Totally ignoring all the economic implications of breaking with the United Kingdom, totally ignoring the implications of building Scotland's economy from scratch, totally ignoring the reality of building Scotland's 'new' currency from ground zero ( Euro's?).

More seriously Sturgeon says that the independent Scotland will remove all nuclear weapons from Scottish territory which includes closing down all the Royal bases on the Clyde and also shutting down the Royal Air Force bases in Scotland. 

No mention of how this is to be achieved of course, or what impact all that will have on Scotland's economy (thousands of jobs lost). Plus the great glaring question as to how will Scotland create its own military ?

Over to you First Minister Sturgeon.



Meanwhile on the Covid Front....

Now Nicola Sturgeon and her SNP Health Secretary are announcing a 'return to normality' across Scotland as Covid restrictions are relaxed (allegedly). But some controls remain in place and Sturgeon's concept of normality is being denounced by some commentators, who think that Nicola has become addicted to the powers that controlling Covid in Scotland gave her. powers and authority that she does not want to let go.

Of course Covid is to blame for all Scotland's current economic failings, and the failings of the NHS in Scotland - it cannot possibly be that the SNP policies have created those problems. 

It is always someone else to blame.

Time for Sturgeon and the SNP to go......

Sturgeon Still Has Fantasies Of Independence - (De-criminalising 'Dope' Must Help)

 Sturgeon Still Has Fantasies Of Independence 

- (De-criminalising 'Dope' Must Help)


In 2016 the SNP government asked Police Scotland to change its guidelines on prosecuting people for possession of cannabis to just a police warning, and between January 2016 and 2021, the number of prosecutions in Scotland halved.  The SNP claimed that this was evidence of more 'progressive' attitudes in Scotland towards cannabis use than in England and Wales.

But now Public Health Scotland has admitted that over the same period the numbers of people suffering mental health problems linked to cannabis use has rocketed. In 2021, a record number of 1,263 patients were admitted into psychiatric hospitals for mental disorders linked to cannabis use.

Is that what the SNP consider to be progress?


Meanwhile the fantasy of an independent Scotland continues to seep out of Holyrood and at every twist and turn First Minister Sturgeon seeks to demonstrate how Scotland does things differently to the Westminster government and never fails to indulge in point scoring.

The latest futile gesture is over the Westminster government's move to create a series of 'free ports' across the United Kingdom. Of course, Nicola Sturgeon has to put a spin on this and during the recent visit by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, she insisted that Scotland would create 'free ports' BUT these Scottish free ports would be classed as 'green free ports' with more environmentally friendly policies and industries than those in England and Wales.

A turn about here because last year the Scottish government was opposed to the idea of free ports because the strategy had grown out of Brexit, which the SNP opposes. But now the SNP and their Scottish Green allies have been able to put their own spin on the policy and Dundee is likely to be the first 'green free port' in Scotland.

Sturgeon Has Lost the Plot (again)

 


SNP Government launches a £4.3 million campaign to "improve airflow" in Scottish schools to help control Covid 19 infections in schools. In a bid to demonstrate her technical knowledge,   First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has proposed allocating £300,000 to fund school caretakers sawing off the bottom few inches of classroom doors and school internal doors as part of the drive for "improved airflow".  Apparently Fire Service and Health and Safety experts are not impressed because such a move would increase risk of fire and totally remove any possible benefit of having fire proof doors in schools.

Well Done First Minister Sturgeon!

Then even more expert opinion.

Nicola Sturgeon says that when Scotland becomes an independent country the UK government will continue to pay Scottish pensions !

What happened to a complete from Westminster and an independent Scottish economy ?
