Letters / Go and buy Forvik 2

Vic Thomas is clearly a bad loser from the tone of his letter (Independence demad still there; SN, 21/09/14).

So, according to the gospel of Thomas of Clousta, anyone who voted No was gullible whereas the Yes voters had a touch of stardust in their eyes and saw “the promised land”.

In fact, some 62 per cent of those who voted saw through the ridiculous independence promises from Salmond and that he didn’t have a chance of delivering.

If 62 per cent of those voting are “gullible” then perhaps Vic should go find another hobby rather than attempting to preach to those who clearly don’t agree with his bitter philosophies.

Vic – if you think the current Westminster government has failed, then perhaps you should take a look at the state of the UK economy at May 2010 and what it is today.

If you don’t like it then perhaps you should go and buy a Forvik 2, live there and do away with democracy altogether.
