Attack on Tasmina is questioned

Dear Editor

This being an election season, I was waiting for the Tories to get slippery and, as usual, I haven’t been disappointed.

Your name and address supplied correspondent (Perthshire View, May 26) has a scattergun go at Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, claiming that she has made less than two visits to the village where he lives.

We don’t know where he lives so who can argue against him. I wonder if he lives in a Tibetan mountain village where the PA arrives in bundles every couple of years.

I could (and no doubt will) make a case against Ruth Davidson for constantly trotting down to Southumbria to get a pat on the head for saying that nine out of ten Scots are state spongers and insinuating that we are thieves and vandals, as she has done in recent times, but at least I’ll put my name to anything I say.

Your correspondent tells us: “Perhaps if Ms Ahmed-Sheikh spends less time on TV and more time outside the Westminster bubble and voting en bloc with her pals and in touch with real people I might be minded to vote for her”.

He is as likely to vote SNP as I am to vote Tory – something I’ll do on the day Jeremy Corbyn becomes a colonel in the SAS.

Maybe one reason Mr Slippery of Whereville seems not to have spotted Tasmina in his mini-metropolis is because she has been getting in touch with real people as he wishes.

Going by his poor propaganda effort, they don’t come more unreal than him. Thomas Burgess, by email
