It would appear Ms Sturgeon is struggling to understand she is in charge of all of Scotland. Not just her supporters in Central belt. The North East of Scotland will not forget her lack of response re lack of electricity. Four days late before a mention.

Ms Sturgeon on GMTV talking about Democracy. I nearly choked on my tea. SNP have ignored UK vote to leave EU. Ignored result of 2014 Election. Gobsmacked.

For the first time in my life I am ashamed to be living in Scotland. We have reached an all time low that we have allowed SNP to perpetuate their brand of politics and Scotland's Press and Media do not take them to task for their many failures. Shame on them. Cowards.

Apparently my local SMP member of Parliament has claimed expenses for around £207,000. If this is correct along with a very large salary I can only say I am flabbergasted and disgusted.
