Dear Sir/Madam,

TAKING STEPS

 

Whilst there is nothing intrinsically offensive about the neo-fascist facade of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and its adjoining steps, it is the littering thereof with grubby and inebriated refugees from Paddy's Market and other remnants of long gone and unlamented manifestations of working class culture and politics that have detracted from efforts to re-invent the city.

 

The removal of the steps is long overdue and the City Council is to be congratulated on this brave move to help create a bright and modern city for the New Millenium.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

POLICE VERACITY ESSENTIAL TO JUSTICE

 

The gay abandon towards truth and accuracy exhibited by Police Scotland Chief Constable Sir Stephen House when dealing with MSPs on Holyrood's justice sub-committee on policing does not augur well for his force's conviction rate.

 

If his attitude is shared by his subordinates, jurors in any criminal trial where the veracity of his officers' evidence is at issue would be well advised to give the accused the benefit of the doubt and return a not guilty verdict.
