Don’t send deficit south

Sir, - For decades the English have been taking what is rightfully ours.

The latest cross-border theft is our deficit. We spend the money here in Scotland, but the Westminster Government just lumps our overspend into the UK national debt.

If England wants a bigger deficit, it s hould do it itself by increasing its own spending, instead of relying on Scotland to run up debts for it. Richard Lucas. 11 Broomyknowe, Colinton, Edinburgh. churches of shamefully promoting anti-gay prejudice in Scottish schools.

Christian teaching, based on the Bible, declares that when men burn with lust for men it is shameful in God’s sight and against nature.
