Unionists need to be taking off blindfolds
CORRESPONDENT TR ( Letters, October 19) appears, like many anti- Scottish readers, to think that the English Government in London can do no wrong despite crystal clear evidence to the contrary.
To suggest that the First Minister carries out a party political broadcast every day is firmly in line with Tory propaganda and utterly baseless.
We can understand the jealousy felt by Unionists when comparing the measured approach by the Scottish Government to the strident falsehoods from this corrupt Tory administration, so take the blindfold off and live in the real world.

WHAT a joke of a politician ( Thomas Kerr: Our council cares more for Catalan independence than clean streets)! We’ve got a real issue here about items being dumped and no bulk uplift. But Mr Kerr ( below- right) would rather play political points on the constitution. To some Tories everything is about “The Union” at all costs and has to be brought into the conversation even when it’s about piles of rubbish! It’s no wonder the SNP will remain in power if all the Tories are going to do is bring the national debate down to the single- minded level of the SNP on independence!
This sounds more like Mr Kerr’s pitch for the 2021 election rather than actually trying to get things sorted! And by here, they need sorted!

SINCE Thatcher’s time, Scots would not vote anything Tory.
Labour ruled the roost. But, Labour became way too comfortable in their “infallibility” in Scotland – the electorate in Scotland had had enough. Due to lack of a viable choice, they voted SNP and that party got in ( which would never have happened with fully proportional representation). But now we have the SNP and their very misguided logic running Scotland.

IS it just me or has the TV selection during lockdown and beyond been pure and utter trash? Not everyone has access to Netflix or NowTV. Thousands of people are spending most of their time indoors, especially the elderly, and in return they are getting endless reality shows, sing- a- longs and cookery galore for their sins.
Surely the BBC has some classic TV programmes locked away that could be aired again? Knowing them though, the classics will be too non- PC for the modern viewer. Still though, we could do with better.
