Cole-Hamilton comments on day one of SNP conference

Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:

In the morning Stephen Flynn is on the radio trying to sound contrite but by the afternoon depute leader Keith Brown is already bellowing about how the answer to everything is breaking up the UK.

The SNP don’t really seem to have learned anything from the defeat voters handed them in the election.

When I am out knocking on doors, no one is interested in wasting more time on constitutional clashes. They want to see action on long NHS waits, rising violence in schools and our disappointing economic performance.

    Interesting that ACH has mentioned the issue of the need for action on rising violence in Schools as the Government published its action plan to tackle violence in schools just over a week ago and one of the ‘actions’ in the plan involves having risk assessments for violent pupils. (Action 16). I’m surprised I have not seen or heard any comment on this by ACH or any other Party representative. We do need to keep children safe from other children who may be prone to use violence, but does our Party agree with risk assessing children as a way to do it?
