WHAT a bunch of bampots the Conservatives are.

Their latest vote catcher is to abolish inheritance tax for houses valued at a million pounds.

I'm sure all the folk in zero hours jobs, attending foodbanks, living in diabolical rented accommodation, will change their minds and rush to the polling station to vote in the Tories once again with that kind of incentive. What world do the rich live in, certainly not ours. Don't they realise that folk with million pound houses vote conservative anyway.

I WRITE to indicate my disquiet and anxiety of the prospect of austerity max which would be the favoured option of the SNP and its leader Nicola Sturgeon, if they were successful in driving forward their wrong, muddle headed and disastrous policy of full fiscal autonomy leading to £7.6bn of cuts being forced on the Scottish budget.

This as a consequence of the SNP axing the Barnett formula and Scotland having a much smaller and more volatile pool of resources due to dwindling North Sea oil reserves, and the like.

Warm words and glib phrases might convince some, but not if the reality happens and the SNP were ever successful in pulling the wool over voters' eyes.

FOLLOWING on from Miliband's comments that SNP plans would devastate Scotland, he continually harps on about sharing resources when he really means "exploit."

Scotland is a net exporter of electricity and England is the main benefactor due to it's inability to produce enough to be self sufficient.

Scotland is also a net exporter of oil as we produce over 90% of the UK's total output.

Our agricultural production is also in excess of our own usage.

Yet we are still supposed to be thankful to Miliband, Cameron and the like for their patronage.

REGARDING the shops to open in Glasgow's new hospital, how is this good news as all over priced.

How expensive is M&S. When you or your child is in hospital you don't have much option where to eat - it all costs a fortune. Looks like I will need to remortgage my house for when my daughter goes in for surgery.
