SNP MP Philippa Whitford Lied on Cancer Operations Wined and Dined by Bombmakers




Absolutely disgusting behaviour. There is no level the SNP will stoop to in order lie to Scots to get elected, even worse the sheer number of useful idiots that believe their every word.

An SNP politician who criticised UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia has received more than £400 worth of hospitality from a trade association whose members include arms firms who sell to the Saudis.
Philippa Whitford, MP for Central Ayrshire, attended three dinners at the expense of the ADS Group, a trade association which represents companies in the ‘aerospace, defence, security and space’ sectors.
ADS Group members include BAE Systems and Raytheon. BAE Systems has helped train the Saudi Arabian air force and provided it with fighter jets.
Smart bombs with laser guided systems made by Raytheon in Scotland were linked to an alleged war crime in Yemen.

In February 2016, Whitford attended the ADS Group’s annual dinner in London’s Park Lane Hilton hotel while protesters outside condemned the role of the British government and arms companies for Saudi Arabia’s bombing of Yemen.
As well as attending the above two dinners, Whitford received a £36 ticket to the Farnborough International Airshow in July. She also received a £180 ticket to the Confederation of British Industry Scotland’s annual dinner in September, both at the ADS group’s expense.

THE surgeon fronting the Yes campaign on the NHS is today exposed for spreading bogus claims about cancer treatment.
Dr Philippa Whitford had become the public face of the SNP’s campaign to convince voters the NHS is under threat of privatisation.
But medical staff at one of the UK’s top cancer hospitals in Newcastle are furious with her - after she wrongly claimed a privatisation agenda is forcing them to consider cancelling cancer operations.
The furious boss of the hospital yesterday condemned her claims as “codswallop” and “a load of crap”.  Full article can be read by clicking here
