LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
DEMOCRACY WALL
Holyrood's search for a single quotation for their Canongate wall is surely a little bit elitist.
Why not allocate a reasonably sized expanse of concrete free for anybody to spray or chalk what they will? This "Democracy Wall" could be resprayed once a week to facilitate new postings or simply left so that new postings naturally covered up previous postings over time.
Either way, it would demonstrate that our Scottish Parliament was at least as willing to tolerate criticism and debate as was the Chinese Government of the 70's.
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas
