Scottish Hospitality Group questions Swinney referendum comments

The Scottish Hospitality Group responds to Swinney’s comments that The Scottish Government is planning another independence referendum while their businesses are still suffering from the covid restrictions:

Hearing John Swinney’s comments as I was driving, I nearly ended up on the central reservation. I think Mr Swinney, just needs to take a walk down Glasgow high street on a Friday night at 6pm or 7pm with shops that are still open but with no one in them, and come into restaurants that would normally be busy that are dead. If he’s going to make a statement that the economy or many sectors are back to normal he’s got to tell us what ones, because I certainly don’t know what they are. It’s certainly not hospitality and certainly not retail.
