Letters / Vulnerable

An independent Scotland!? All a bit irrelevant now; it sadly looks as if Scotland’s economy may have just lost its petrol supplies and industrial base to socialist ideals.

Unite Union! What an ironic name! Salmond’s argument, claiming that Scotland would be industrially sound, is looking incredibly stupid if Grangemouth is lost.

The threatened loss of Grangemouth shows just how vulnerable and exposed an independent Scotland would be!
