From The Scotsman newspaper, 24th February
"Margaret Thatcher is responsible for Scotland’s problems with drink and drugs, health secretary Alex Neil has claimed.
The SNP Cabinet minister’s decision to blame the former prime minister was attacked as “preposterous” by the Tories last night.
At a pro-independence rally in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, Mr Neil insisted that Scotland’s predilection for heavy drinking is a direct result of Mrs Thatcher closing heavy industry and failing to create jobs, sparking a huge rise in drink-related deaths among working-age men." :wink:
