Dear Sir/Madam,

OUT OF STEP

I was surprised to see that the builders are in at the Waverley Steps installing a very expensive escalator.

As it is only uninformed tourists (generally overweight North Americans who could do with the exercise) and and sportive types like joggers who actually climb the steps - all sensible locals knowing to exit the station via Waverley Bridge - surely this not inconsiderable portion of Scotland's transport budget could have better gone towards the Tram scheme which, we are told, will benefit us all?

Dear Sir/Madam,

CRIMINALS IN CONTROL

How can the 234 MPs who voted to continue to deny prisoners the vote in breach of a European Court ruling have the effrontery to condemn convicts in our gaols when their vote shows that they too are prepared to flout the laws of the land?

When demonstrators next riot outside Westminster, these legislators will have to keep silent least they rightly be accused of hypocricy. I can only fear for our increasingly lawless society when our very law makers consider that they are above the law.
