Scotland Matters Letters

DISASTROUS, incompetent, idiotic. SNP policy after disastrous, incompetent, idiotic SNP policy. Instead of trying to sort out the mess the SNP has created for the people of Scotland, what does the new First Minister for Scotland come up with? A new white paper for independence an independence the SNP refuses to acknowledge the majority of people of Scotland do not want. Proof, if proof was ever required, that the new First Minister is just as incompetent as his predecessor. I’m an agnostic, but if there were such a being, I would pray: God, save Scotland. James Simpson, Erskine.

ON the subject of being “absent from the Chamber” (Letters, June 22), I and many other rural residents from all over Scotland attended a debate at the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday, directly following the vote of no confidence in Lorna Slater. It was a debate about the environment, renewable energy and a just transition. Yet, as Douglas Ross pointed out, less than half an hour from being at full strength to support their Green minister holding on to her job, not a single Green MSP could be present in the parliament to listen to or contribute to this very important debate. It is very telling, for a party that claims to put the environment above all else, that they are not interested in hearing about the negative effects of their obsession with wind farms, in particular, on our landscape, wildlife and people. Aileen Jackson, Uplawmoor.

Islanders have blasted the SNP over the ferries fiasco. Stop voting them into power. Might help a wee bit. Ian Balloch, Grangemouth, Stirlingshire.

Humza tells us that there would be a monarchy referendum within five years of independence. With these comments you would almost think he was trying to ingratiate himself with his core support, as he is seen as weak. Oh, wait a minute-they are having a conference this Saturday. Now there is a surprise! William Ballantine, Bo’ness.
