Stephen Kerr: “In a free and open society, people should ordinarily be able to see one another's faces.”

After nearly 20 years in government, crime is soaring, while the number of police officers continues to be slashed.

The SNP have failed to give Scotland the police officers it requires and that situation is completely unsustainable.

Something is clearly going wrong when the number of fixed penalty notices is so shockingly low compared to the amount of graffiti Scots see on their streets and in their towns.

This is a national disgrace and a damning indictment of the SNP’s record on protecting vulnerable children.
