Dear Sir/Madam,
GARDENING WOES
As a keen gardener, I am most annoyed that the Government intends to ban the plant food Mephedrone because a handful of people are claimed to have suffered ill health or death after misusing it as a drug of intoxication.
Will I become a criminal if I stock up on it before the ban? Or will my azaleas have to suffer because of a Nanny State attitude towards the lack of self control of a few selfish drug-taking individuals who will stop at nothing to alter their state of consciousness?
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas

11th of March 2010 - Don't Risk Losing Civil Servants

Dear Sir/Madam,
DON'T RISK LOSING CIVIL SERVANTS
The Government was absolutely right to allow the payment of large bonuses to bankers at our state owned banks in order to dissuade them from resigning and taking up better remunerated employment in foreign climes.
Why is the Prime Minister now risking a similar exodus of our senior civil servants by imposing a freeze on their pay at a time when we most need their experience and wise counsel?
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas

1st of March 2010 - Trish Shouldn't Trash Prostitution

Dear Sir/Madam,
TRISH SHOULDN'T TRASH PROSTITUTION
It is apalling that Labour MSP Trish Godman has tabled a string of amendments to the Criminal Justice and Licensing Bill currently going through the Scottish Parliament to make it an offence to engage in, advertise or facilitate paid-for sexual activity.
I can assure her that many decent, intelligent and well educated people of my acquaintance consider that a well paid career as a sex worker is infinitely preferable to the tedium of cleaning lavatories, flipping hamburgers or, worse, exposing oneself to public derision as an expenses-claiming know-it-all politician.
On the other hand, if her proposals do become law, I suppose that many of her parliamentary colleagues will expect to get for nothing that for which they currently pay.
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas
