RUSSELL FINDLAY: Bus passes for asylum seekers while OAPs shiver. Why ARE the Left so out of touch with ordinary Scots?

Most afternoons, to the delight and amusement of visitors to Edinburgh Zoo, a procession of penguins are released from their enclosure for a 'wee waddle'.
The article by Russell Findlay in the Daily Mail discusses the Scottish Government's decision to provide free bus passes to asylum seekers, which has sparked controversy among some Scots, particularly older citizens who feel neglected. The piece highlights the frustration of pensioners who are facing financial hardships due to the cost-of-living crisis, while asylum seekers, who are not yet granted refugee status, receive benefits like free travel. Findlay criticizes the SNP-led government for what he perceives as misplaced priorities, focusing on policies that benefit migrants over long-term residents. He argues that this approach not only strains public resources but also alienates the local population, especially the elderly, who are left to "shiver" in the cold, both literally and metaphorically, as they struggle with rising costs and reduced services. The article suggests that this policy reflects a broader disconnect between the political elite and ordinary Scots, exacerbating feelings of being overlooked by their government.
