Dear All
In tragedy, there is opportunity, as Scotland’s drug deaths
soar to a record breaking 1,187 in a year under SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, the
SNP are busy trying to blame Westminster for their failures.
The SNP run the Police, they run the health service, they
run social care, we know this because when the cuts came to vital services, the
SNP MSPs to a man and woman voted them through.
No fights, no questions asked!
The least vulnerable were an easy target, they had no SNP
Champion. Do you remember the SNP pledge of a few years ago, ‘Elect a local
Champion’. Sick joke then and it still remains a sick joke now.
So, let’s nail something down, the SNP under Alex Salmond
and Nicola Sturgeon have had control of the Scotland Government since 2007 till
present day.
12 years!
During this time, they have given us election bribes sure, but
that was so people would vote them in, targeted bribes at targeted voters.
One group, that doesn’t appear on the SNP voter radar is the
disenfranchised, the people at the bottom of society who don’t vote because
they don’t feel part of society. In Glasgow , you
don’t see the SNP elected representatives at the soup kitchens, or the
traditional places like Glasgow City Mission, or Lodge House Mission or the
Wayside in central Glasgow .
Apparently Mhairi Black allegedly did a stint at Glasgow City Mission prior to being an MP.

Once elected never to be seen again!
Where’s Mhairi now?
Where are the legendary SNP Campaigns for foodbanks?
Did you notice how that all dried up post Westminster elections?
Pulling on people’s heart strings is something that the SNP
have developed into an art form.
Find a victim which suits their SNP agenda then "champion" them for mileage because everything is always about Scottish independence. Once done, drop them to move onto the next cause célèbre, then milk that to death.

You can be sure that some of the 1,187 people who died of
drugs used places like I have mentioned above, but what you don’t see Nicola
Sturgeon visiting them. You don’t see the Health Sec Jeane Freeman visiting
them or indeed any senior SNP figures of note.
The local soup kitchens don’t get any real support or help from the SNP Government; and recently even the homeless saw their chances of getting a bed for night slashed by the SNP Council. That “gift” to the poor and disadvantage came courtesy of Nicola Sturgeon’s pal, SNP Cllr Mhairi Hunter.

What we are really talking about in a blunt and brutally
honest fashion is SNP neglect for the poor under Nicola Sturgeon. So, no money
for food, no beds for the night and because of a party committed to grievance
at Westminster ,
no goodwill.
The cause and effect principle!
The effect of bad will has rippled between Holyrood and Westminster for sometime,
instead of learning to shut their mouth, the SNP have made a vacuous campaign
of grievance putting people’s noses out of joint. The upshot is shocking total
of 1,187 people dead in a year, people who gave up hope, in everything, for
them there was no tomorrow. There was no future, no prospects and like a tsunami,
when things got so bad, drugs washed away their pain. Living while poor is not
living, it is existing; it is a life spent in fear and uncertainty.
You don’t know poverty really until you experience it first hand. It isn’t just lack of money, it is a lack of everything, hope, opportunities, help, justice; every door is barred and every ‘right; and ‘entitlement’ has to be fought for, again and again…… because it is withheld.

A ready example is higher education; we have millions to pay
for rich middle class foreign students at universities but not a lot for
working class people from the most disadvantaged background.
So, whether you like it or not, the poorest working class
students and potential students suffer because the SNP leadership want to be
seen as internationalists. The attack on the poor is further compounded by the
SNP with their nonsensical immigration policy. Everything is done by the SNP to
put downward pressure on the poor, given the SNP won’t deliver fairness in
devolved government, what do you think will happen when they are free of UK oversight?
Out with Scottish Enlightenment and in with Scottish Mugabe-ism.
In previous posts, I blogged I favour drug legalisation, and
although a supervised drug consumption facility in Glasgow sounds like a good idea, the idea is
short-sighted. You see what is needed is a bespoke facility which can offer
alternatives, services and structures to effectively reset a person’s life.
But I would make a point, not everyone can saved, life isn’t that simple, some people aren’t going to be able to be turned around, not in the manner you might expected. The mental impairment caused by drugs in some is just too much damage to repair. We can see of course see the physical signs like people dead or losing their limbs, but the mental side can be as equally damaging.

The Scottish Secretary David Mundell has said the Commons Scottish
Affairs Committee was currently undertaking an inquiry into drug use in Scotland and
the Government would want to consider its report. Then perhaps there maybe an opportunity
for a pilot of supervised drug consumption facility.
Finally, given the traditional Conservative response to drugs and crime, this coupled with SNP hostility, this may kill off prospect of that pilot happening. Rather than holding the traditional view and line, I would like to see Scottish Conservative MPs take a proactive lead and push this through. It is said that there are about 13,000 addicts inGlasgow , in theory 13,000
chances to turn people’s life around. I think it is worth taking a chance and
making the investment for vulnerable Scots who have lost their way.

The SNP do have the power to act. Health and policing is in there hands. They are allowing this genocide of Scots to continue. What an achievement.Not! Highest drug deaths in the western world. Well done fake Nationalist.
