Rogues Gallery

[Porty]

From todays EN letters page:

Think before vote for rogues' gallery

THE MSPs' expenses are a disgrace, I have to pay my own way to get to work why should they be different?

I had a look at the Solidarity Party - Tommy Sheridan £57,121. The Scottish Socialists - Caroline Leckie £61,940; Rosie Kane £55,473; Colin Fox £50,392.

And these are the people who make out they are on the taxpayers' side.

They are all the same, they could not give a damn for you and me. Expenses this year have reached £10 million so devolution has been good for some but bad for the taxpayer.

So ask yourself this question. What has devolution done for you? And don't forget Holyrood cost ten times its budget. Just think what we could have done with the £414m.

So think before you vote in May or we will all suffer under the Holyrood rogues.

I doubt if any of them except maybe Tommy will get back in. Certainly Colin got in on a wafer and he has lost his entire branch to Solidarity.

So ask yourself this question. What has devolution done for you?

Er hopefully a new school for Portobello?

To be fair on the Sociialists, expenses doubled all round. However, when compared with their voting record one does smell a rat or two.
