WHAT are you doing, Nicola? I am an 80-year-old lady who greatly admired you though I am not an SNP supporter.
After this week’s announcements I feel you are going to destroy this country.
You have misjudged the morale of people wrongly! I feel your way out of the Covid pandemic is a political ploy.
What is all this about April 15? Do you think the euphoria the people will feel will carry you through the next election?
I don’t think so or I hope it doesn’t!
A really disappointed octogenarian.

WOULD someone, please, just give us straight answers about the Salmond inquiry?
I don’t believe there was a witch-hunt against the former first minister but the Scottish Government hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory during this fiasco.
There needs to be a proper investigation into what has happened here, so the public can make their own minds up.
Nothing adds up and both sides are twisting the truth to suit themselves in my opinion.

HAVING read Susan Aitken’s (pictured right) comments regarding Monica Lennon and the (inevitable and repetitive mania of constitutional issues) need/demand for another referendum (Glasgow Times, Wednesday), I have a few questions.
In the most recent vote, the SNP scored (a commendable) 45%.
Allowing for a 67% turnout, 30% of the General Election electorate voted SNP. The flip of this is that through decision, or indeed indecision, 70% did not. Is that grounds for a mandate for another election?
Even ignoring the non-voters, 55% did not vote SNP. Either way, and by the state education I got mercifully pre-SNP days, they have not scored a mandate. They do hold the lion’s share of MPs, but that is because the Unionist/No vote is split three ways.
My second question is that had it been a Yes vote in 2014, would there have been a second referendum when people realised the financial prospectus we would have been sold was at best wishful thinking, at worst reckless?
If there wouldn’t have been a second referendum in this case, why is there now a need for a second referendum? You cannot pick and choose which results you honour if you’re a democrat.
