TTIP 'Bad For Scotland'

A transatlantic trade deal being promoted by David Cameron is only supported by 1 in 8 Scots.

Most people surveyed by 38 Degrees are against TTIP - the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partmership - which is a free trade agreement between Europe and America that would seek to harmonise laws on both sides of the Atlantic.

David Cameron says it would be a boost to the UK economy, as it would cut taxes in imports. But campaigners fear it would allow foreign companies to sue the UK if they felt their financial interests were at risk.

Rebecca Falcon, campaigns manager at 38 Degrees, said: "Growing discontent around this deal should come as no surprise. TTIP is toxic and threatens so many of the institutions we hold dear in this country - including our NHS.

"Today’s results show that the Scottish people aren’t fooled by David Cameron’s warm words on TTIP. That’s why hundreds of 38 Degrees members across Scotland will be out in force this Saturday - to stop corporate lobbyists rewriting the rules of our democracy behind closed doors in Brussels."

Jane Glen is joining demonstrations against TTIP in Dunfermline on Saturday, she's worried it could lead to health services being privatised:

A day of action is taking place on Saturday, with protests taking place across Scotland.
