Dear Sir/Madam,

FOOTBALL SOCKS

Now that the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012 has come into effect, I wonder if its provisions would cover a group of Celtic supporters standing outside Ibrox doing nothing more than laughing their socks off?

Dear Sir/Madam,

CONTRA NANDO INCREMENTUM - SWIMMING AGAINST THE TIDE

Cardinal O’Brien is acting like King Canute in resisting the tide of gay marriage as I fear that the political classes in the UK have swallowed the homosexual agenda and it will be permitted whatever the public has to say.

Perhaps he would have more success in persuading the government to allow the use of police and courts to enforce Canon Law on members of his Church thus discouraging them from such abominable sexual practices let alone their public proclamation in a civilly sanctioned ceremony. Whilst not protecting the morals of those who are not Catholics, it would do much to elevate the status of his members amongst other morally focussed groups who do not share their religious dogma.

And our devout Muslim citizens would surely encourage the similar enforcement of Sharia Law, although I would hope that no UK court would ever go so far as to enforce a capital penalty.

Dear Sir/Madam,

MATTER OF BELIEF

Kenny MacAskill says that he didn't urge the only man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing to drop his appeal to smooth the way for his compassionate release whilst Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi says that he did. They can't both be telling the truth.

Bearing in mind that one of them is a dying man wrongly convicted of mass murder and the other is a respected Scottish politician and upstanding member of the legal profession which secured his conviction, I know who I believe!
