Sir, – For years now (although it seems longer) Jenny Hjul has provided a column entitled “As I See It”.

Week in, week out; some 600 words approximat­ely.

Of course, Jenny only needed one column and it would only have required four words: “I hate the SNP.”

This simple solution would have saved DC Thomson paying her a wage and stopped inflicting your readership with her tiresome repeated diatribes.

Without fail, this week is again a personal attack on an SNP cabinet member.

Ms Hjul’s views on our First Minister are well known and this week she attacks Shona Robison MSP as “hapless”.

Not too long ago Ms Hjul described another female minister as “promoted beyond her ability.”

I wonder what it is about strong female role models in politics that so offends Ms Hjul?

However, even the BBC recently concluded that out of all the four nations, hospitals in Scotland seem to have fared the best and that spending per head in Scotland was higher than that in Wales, England and Northern Ireland.

The continuing popularity of the SNP in government is clearly galling to Ms Hjul but no matter how much mud she slings, people’s everyday experience­s show they are correct to trust the SNP and their support for its ministers is justified. Henry Malcolm. 331 Clepington Road, Dundee.
