Just spent the afternoon with my Scottish stepfather. He is 88y old. In his opinion, Nicola Sturgeon is considered a good communicator and her unchallenged SNP ‘party political broadcast’ every day is giving her a great platform.
However, in his opinion (for what it’s worth) he said leaving the EU was one thing but voting to leave the UK? It would never happen. Different allegiances entirely.
I said but what about the polls? He said ‘you don’t set store by them do you?’. In a referendum, in the privacy of a ballot box, Scotland will remain part of the UK. In his opinion.
He said he laughed when one of NS colleagues wished her a happy Christmas in Gaelic and she couldn’t even give a greeting back! It flummoxed her completely!
After that his conversation moved on to the fact that the Sunday Post newspaper has put up its price by 10p to £2.10 from this week without due announcement .
He was shocked I tell you, shocked!
