When truth gets in the way of agendas, it is brushed aside and lies become the norm and are presented as the truth.

So, how do we sift through all the sand?

I don’t often say things like this, but sometimes age has an advantage because we have been here before and we remember what truth sounds and feels like!

Life has taught us how to go with our gut and how to smell a rat!

Politicians hate direct questions, in fact, they go on courses to learn how not to answer them! Direct questions demand factual answers and you just ain’t going to get that!!.….instead you get a ‘word salad’!

Now, I am not a salad person, I prefer a good steak, so I don’t take too well to being patronised. And I imagine you don’t either.

You are going to be fed a lot of salad during these pre-election weeks, so it is important that YOU know what YOUR priorities are. Don’t let others tell you what they should be!

The vote you hold is yours, it is your chance to have your say.

Read manifestos and go with your gut.

This is the ISP one….

For us ‘oldies’ the technology behind a group of dots is mind-blowing…..this party takes you on a journey of hope, not false promises.

There is a huge difference between striving for something and making promises you know you cannot fulfil.

We are paying a heavy price for the lies we are being fed, maybe it’s time to change the chef and the menu!

When the price for energy gets too high, we look around and switch over, maybe it’s time we did that with our political affiliations.

Try truth and integrity for a change!

How many red flags do we have to see before we stop and take notice?

If this isn’t a red flag, then I don’t know what is. Wishart, on the day when his own party were marching in Edinburgh for Independence!!

Wake up folks, they are playing you for fools.

How many more times do we have to walk around with that knot in our stomachs, knowing something is wrong, very wrong with our country?

I was going to say, we are the only oil-rich country who have Food Banks or equivalent in our cities, but that’s not quite true. Go to any city in the world and you will find the same problems.

It’s not the lack of resources that’s the problem, it’s how those resources are managed and by whom.

In Scotland, our resources belong to us, the people, but you would never know it. The resources of any country should be for the benefit of the people who live in it. Not shareholders on the other side of the world.

Why do we never get the governments we vote for?

The simple reason is, that we always fall for the lies… and they know we will!!!

Not everyone who cries ‘change’…..wants change! Why would they when the ‘gravy’ is so rich?

Apparently, politicians can’t be prosecuted for making false promises at Elections… and they know that, too!

So, what can we do about it?

Well, we can use our brains for a start and remember their track records!

Politicians never have ‘Damascus road’ experiences! Just as a leopard never changes its spots!

So, please be careful about who you vote for. Look at their professional and private histories and see if there are any red flags. These people want to represent you therefore their histories are important!

This election is too important to just vote for who is the most handsome😄

At the moment Scotland is up for sale with the Freeports etc, we cannot wait another 5 years……STOP THE SALE NOW!

Private money is a con unless those doing the bargaining can make sure that, we, the people also gain! …… and don’t get taken in by the ‘jobs’ promise….they have a habit of disappearing!

Paper promises are just that…..pieces of paper!!

Honest Manifestos will show a vision, not promise heaven and deliver yet another form of hell!

Here is a vision for the future.

You have nothing to lose by trying something new but everything to gain!
