Dear Sir/Madam,
THE MISERY OF ALCOHOL
One can understand Trades Unions attempting to protect the jobs of their members at Diageo's threatened whisky plants. But the Scottish Government, hitherto to be applauded for its anti alcohol policies, really should rethink its support for keeping these enterprises open.
In several States of the USA, "Johnnie Walker" is a much used term for an alcoholic. Are the jobs of a few Scottish workers really more important than stopping the misery caused by their antisocial products?
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas

Dear Sir/Madam,
UNWELCOME GUESTS
It has been reported that a number of tourists from the USA have cancelled their holidays in Scotland in protest at the freeing of the "Lockerbie Bomber".
It is precisely those sort of USAnian tourists that Scotland can well do without whilst continuing to welcome those who respect our customs and laws!

Dear Sir/Madam,
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
If Libya's major export was carrots rather than oil, Mr Megrahi would still be enjoying free accommodation in a Scottish gaol.
For all the concerted international mumbling and moaning about justice, money is the real driver of the New World Order and we really should not be surprised at current events.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
ILL WIND
The UK Border Agency has done a great service to the people of Scotland in their refusal to allow members of the Lahore Pipe Band into the UK to perform at a bagpipe competition in Glasgow.
We have no need to add a further thirty Pakistani pipers to Scotland's already unfortunately large number of indigenous practitioners of this barbaric, unpleasantly loud and totally non melodic "instrument".
If only the quietly spoken and refined Northumbrian pipes were to be heard in their stead, Scotland would be a calmer and more pleasant place.

John Eoin Douglas
