Dear All
For some time, I have been saying that the
Scottish National Party under Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon is anti working class.
George Laird right again!
Scotland’s unpopular Deputy First Minister
Nicola Sturgeon is going to rob working class people of their historic right to
buy their council houses.
In a move that even the Tories wouldn’t
even consider, the anti working class SNP is to draw a line under one of
Margaret Thatcher’s most iconic policies.
If you live in social housing, you will
have until the autumn of 2017 to apply to buy your home at a reduced rate.
This policy was a rare gem for the Tories
which proved massively popular as nearly half-a-million families in Scotland taken
up the offer.
Nicola Sturgeon doesn’t stay in council or
social housing; she lives in a new build detached house in the East End of
Glasgow with a small conservatory.
Ms. Sturgeon has now firmly taken up the
mantle vacated by Wendy Alexander as Scotland premier Champagne Socialist.
Since taking office the SNP have ran an
effective campaign to con working class people that they are on their side, the
truth is quite the opposite.
Nicola Sturgeon isn’t standing up for Scots
and neither is Alex Salmond, they are pulling up the ladder to ensure people at
the bottom remain at the bottom. The SNP is probably doing this measure as part
of their plan to allow mass immigration if there is a Yes Vote.
So, not only will working class Scots be
shut out of a home, they will also be shut out of jobs as well.
People of Scotland have been conned, they
thought they were voting in a left wing government only to find out they have
duped, the SNP are more right wing than the Scottish Tories. Last night Tory
leader Ruth Davidson was given an open goal by the SNP as she stood up for ordinary
working class people.
Ms. Davidson now has a policy for Holyrood
2016; restore the right for working class people to buy their council home.
Will this move by the SNP prove popular?
No, as I previously said, there is a genuine
lack of talent in the SNP, and now, it is bubbling to the surface.
Sturgeon insisted:
“It is absolutely vital people can access
social housing when they need it most. Social housing is under significant
pressure and so too are the budgets that support it.”
This will not free up a single home unless
people move or die.
She added:
“The Scottish Government is doing
everything possible to maximise our investment in housing and deliver on our
target of 30,000 new, affordable homes over the lifetime of this parliament. But,
given the pressure on both the housing stock and budgets and with 400,000
people on waiting lists for social housing we can no longer afford to see badly
needed homes lost to the social sector.”
So, rather than building enough homes, she
seeks to rob the poorest Scots in society of their opportunity and legal right.
Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson said:
“Right-to-buy has been the most effective
single measure to enable a whole generation on modest incomes to take pride in
owning their own property. It has enabled thousands of people to make better
choices about their future and given them financial security and a flexibility
their parents could only dream about. But it’s a choice that the SNP wants to
take away from the next generation. Ending the right to buy for council tenants
slams the door in the faces of families with modest incomes who want to own
their own home and who have no other route to achieve that aspiration.”
Scottish Labour MSP James Kelly said:
“The SNP seem to have some very odd
priorities when it comes to housing. On one hand, they will stop right-to-buy,
but on the other have slashed the housing budget so that the number of new
social homes being built has collapsed.”
He added:
“While today’s decision will impact on
some, the real difference is that housing has been simply left on the
sidelines. Through kick-starting the economy, they could have ensured
much-needed homes were built.”
So, further proof and George Laird right
again, the Scottish National Party is anti working class, imagine all those
working class members out campaigning who Sturgeon has robbed of the chance to
own their own home. Today, they must feel like mugs and realising that the SNP is
run as a clique where they are the ‘cheap Labour’ to get them elected.
Votes for independence are steadily
dropping; add now, another 15,000 families who will be voting no!
It’s time that working class Scots got into
the fight not just against independence but against the Scottish National
Party.
Yours sincerely
