Las Vegas resident urges Scots to vote SNP

Sunday’s anti-climactic finale looked set to be the biggest Line of Duty let-down for fans of the hit BBC series. But now one of the drama’s stars Martin Compston has waded into the Scottish independence debate and urged his fellow Scots to vote SNP this Thursday. He says that the ‘Tory government in Westminster’ some 325 miles from the Scottish border, ‘do not care about Scotland’ adding: ‘The big decisions, whether it be Scotland’s future relationship with Europe, whether it be nuclear weapons on the Clyde are best taken by the people who live here.’ 

There’s just one problem – Compston’s main residence is in Las Vegas a mere 4,872 miles away. The star bought a flat in Greenock earlier this year but spends most of his time in his sprawling four-bedroom home in Nevada where he says ‘you get more for your money’.
