Dear Sir/Madam,

GARDEN VIEW

The majority of Aberdonians who voted in favour of the Aberdeen City Gardens Project in a public referendum must feel sympathy with supporters of capital punishment.

The councillors of Aberdeen have ignored their electors in just the same way that Westminster ignores the majority of UK citizens who would see the return of judicial hanging.

The fact that the council has saved such a beautiful city from despoilment in the interest of progress is irrelevant to the expressed will of its people who really do not deserve the benefit of their wisdom..

Dear Sir/Madam,

FAST LANE

Now that the Olympics are over, it is time to consider their legacy for our capital city.

As a guest of the Olympic Family, I was impressed by the speed and efficiency of the Olympic Route Network's segregated lanes and would ask Boris Johnson to consider their permanent retention for use by official vehicles and those who are willing to pay a premium.

Their aspirational affect on those in the slow lanes could well drive new generations to hard work and consequent economic success.

Dear Sir/Madam,

COLD CELLAR TURKEY

I write in support of Scottish  Borders Tory MSP John Lamont in his opposition to the NHS's distribution of Naloxone kits designed to ameliorate the effects of heroin.

The NHS spends far too much money on nampy pamby liberal "solutions" to the willful recreational use of narcotic drugs.

The most effective solution is cheap, as I know from personal experience.

My wife was an addict before I met her but has now been "clean" for over thirty years. Being locked by her parents in a dank cellar with rats and the like for six months is not an experience that she would care to repeat. Which is why she will never touch drugs again as she is well aware that, were she so to do, she could expect the same "tough love" from me although, unfortunately, our abode does not have a cellar.
