Sir,
Your correspondent Yowann Byghan is clearly a staunch supporter of the SNP and lists some of its ‘achievements’. These include such things as free tuition for students, lack of prescription charges, free school meals and so on.
There is certainly a long list of these freebies that we have to thank the SNP for – or perhaps I should say the English taxpayer. Before pushing for independence, SNP supporters should ask themselves where does the money come from for all these benefits, and where would it come from if Scotland were to become independent?
