My name is Sally Hughes, I retired from policing in 2020 after 25 years on the beat in the Tayside area. I am a lifelong Independence supporter.
I should be putting my feet up... but I look around and see everything broken, including Party Politics, when I know we can do so much better.
I see wind turbines on every hill and out to sea, and shops and businesses closing on every street. Scotland is a POWERHOUSE, not the poorhouse of Britain. How dare they do this to my beautiful Scotland.
So, I'm walking the walk. I'm standing as a Candidate in this year's General Election. Standing for Independence in Scotland, in the constituency of Perth and Kinross-shire. My home.
Scottish Independence is now a matter of survival, and I intend to make the issue front and foremost of this campaign.
Quite rightly, people will want to know my position on other matters. Let me share a couple here.
I am an adult human female - or woman, as we used to be called. Woman's rights and child safety are something I will never row back from, and something I will always stand up for. And I'll defend the Freedom of Speech in order to do so.
Grangemouth Oil Refinery. We must save this profitable refinery. I've seen enough, under Thatcher, of the jobs and the resources going south. If we lose Grangemouth - every bag of groceries, every trip to work will cost more. It must be saved.
I need assistance to fund the campaign. Your help will provide me with the tools to get my message across in the form of secure IT Services, a website, leaflets, posters, hall and office hire, videos, travel expenses and associated costs with canvassing and campaigning in the entire constituency.
I, Sally Hughes, swear to uphold, protect and defend the Sovereignty of the People of Scotland and to faithfully serve the constituents of Perth and Kinross-shire to the best of my ability.
These are in accordance with Electoral Commission rules.
If you are kind enough and able to donate more than £50 to my campaign, your name and address will be checked against the electoral register to ensure that you are eligible to donate. Your name, but not your address, will be made available by the Council on request after the election.
