GRAHAM GRANT: No solace for harried drivers and frazzled commuters who've been taken for a ride in SNP's go-slow Scotland
Daily MailHow many times have you wished that speed limits were lower while you’re stuck in a traffic jam or behind an HGV? Nicola Sturgeon couldn’t drive while First Minister – and was famously spotted being driven past mounds of rubbish on her way to a Festival gig in Edinburgh during a bin strike Limits It’s extraordinary that anyone thought this was a plan worthy of even a moment’s consideration. Nicola Sturgeon couldn’t drive while First Minister and was whisked past mouldering piles of rubbish to Festival gigs during the Edinburgh bin strikes – well, she couldn’t have been expected to set foot on those filthy pavements. Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop says she can guarantee the A9 will be fully dualled by 2035 – but that’s about as believable as Mr Gray’s attempts to justify his limo rides. There’s no solace for harried motorists and frazzled commuters in John Swinney’s go-slow Scotland – and the final destination is economic ruin.
