I’ve just received the latest propaganda sheet from the Scottish Lib Dems and John Thurso emblazoned with the legend “The SNP are bad for your Health” If anything is bad for our health John Thurso it will be the fracking you are so keen to support. He and his Westminster chums are keen to support drilling under people’s homes and use a toxic chemical sludge to hydraulically fracture the rock in an attempt to extract shale gas. There are numerous instances of contamination where this has been done in the USA. Some European countries have banned it. Yet our Westminster elite seem to believe it will be fine. It has not gone unnoticed that the main target of this activity is going to be directly under the most populous area of Scotland – the Central Belt.
Aside from the health issue the leaflet assures us that John Thurso has a proven track record of helping to create jobs and bring investment to our area. I was more than a little surprised then to see that he and his Scottish Lib Dem colleagues had this leaflet printed in Walton Road, Portsmouth which is about as far away from Caithness as you can get.
I suggest that before the honourable gent and his happy gang criticize anyone they should be careful not to appear hypocrites and be mindful of the old adage, ‘people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones’.
