Letters / Hard to believe
Once again I find it hard to believe anything that Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon tells us.
They have been harping on about how they are going to create jobs in Scotland and yet on the late news on Friday night a representative from NHS outside Aberdeen Royal Infirmary said they were short of over 200 medical staff and were on the verge of closing some of the hospital down.
I have no doubt they (the SNP) will find some excuse to blame Westminster once more for this situation which they (the SNP) should have been addressing long before now.
Every politician as far back as I can remember has told lies and been devious to get into power and do what they want so what makes anyone think Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon will be any different.
