Dear Orkney News,
All my life Westminster has claimed that the Scots are living off the English tax payers. This leaves me a bit puzzled. Unionist politicians never tire of spreading this myth to scare the Scots from any thoughts of INDEPENDENCE, losing Westminster’s hold on Scotland’s resources, oil money blown by London.
Wind and tide will go the same way. Scotland is the third richest part of the UK. So if I’m a scrounger so is my family, grandchildren, friends, fellow Scots and Unionist politicians in Scotland?
Big question is, why is Westminster so terrified of losing Scotland, they should be glad to get rid of us, nobody wants to hold onto scroungers.
If, like me, you are tired of being insulted by Westminster, do some research into Scotland’s finances, don’t ask Unionist candidates, their bosses are all in London. Do your own homework, ask a local man, Robert Leslie, who is controlled by Scotland and not England. You might find you are not a scrounger after all.
Yours, James W Ross, Orkney.
