Yesterday John Swinney, the SNP Cabinet Secretary for Finance and (no) Sustainable Growth told the SNP Conference of “very significant restraint” of pay for all public sector workers in Scotland. Today, Alex Salmond is going to confirm fears that the SNP Government is going to cut the number of police forces in Scotland. The SNP is presiding over cuts in nursing staff across Scotland - one Health Board is cutting 553 nursing jobs.
So, its an obvious time for the SNP to annouce that they will continue with implementation of their policy of free prescriptions for millionaires.It is about time this SNP government of cheap headlines and no responsibility woke up and smelt the coffee.
