LETTER TO THE EDITOR


Dear Sir,

I noticed in a recent Letter column John Hein's letter complaining about being unable to hand in items of mail for MSPs at Holyrood. I too fell foul of this last week and resorted to posting the item sans postage stamp in the nearest pillar box.

Methinks that the security people at Holyrood have an overinflated idea of their charges - I really cannot see anybody wasting valuable explosives on the bunch of nonentities who make up our Parliament. As for the building itself, judging from current reports of its condition, this will fall down unaided within ten years if left to its own devices.

Sincerely,


John Eoin Douglas
