Be clear about allegiances

Sir, - With tedious monotony, the letters from Alex Orr of Edinburgh arrive in print within minutes, it seems, of any news detrimental to the SNP.

He leaps into a writing frenzy claiming any and every reason and opportunity to blame the Westminster Government for mismanagement of the Scottish economy, when in reality it has simply underwritten the economic folly imposed on the people of Scotland by the SNP whom Mr Orr (anonymously) serves.

Mr Alex Orr is the managing director of the PR company which ran the media campaign for Scotland Forward and who has stood as an SNP candidate for Edinburgh Council and the Scottish Parliament on multiple occasions as well as being a member of the SNP executive committee as recently as 2011.

It would be more agreeable for Mr Orr to share whatever partisan opinions he holds were he at least to put his political allegiances alongside them in print rather than hiding behind a blatantly phoney mask of altruism.
