The SNP saved Prestwick airport from closure just over 12 years ago, protecting around 3 200 jobs in the airport and in the surrounding area and boosting the local economy by £61 million annually.
We’re used to having a wee laugh at Scottish Labour sums but that £5 million won’t go far. 450 jobs, never mind the 60 apprentices? 5 million divided by 450 means only £11 100 for each employee, to cover not only their wages but all of the costs for the employer.
The average wage in Scotland is around £39 000, the media wage is around £31 000 and the minimum wage is around £24 000pa.
Scottish Labour is a tiny thing? Is the genetic pool too small now with resulting collapse in the IQ of members? They keep doing daft things like this.
Talking-up Scotland 
it has been a good week for job announcements in Scotland. A total of 2300 including the ones at Prestwick have been announced. Kate Forbes, deputy FM, seems to have played a leading role in getting the jobs.

Thank you TuS for bringing this to people’s attention. The more idiotic mistakes by Labour exposed, the better.
