Trump of doom

I’m nearly 50 and get loads of free stuff but I tend to write letters to companies rather than use social media or email. Haven’t tried to get a free hotel stay what a great idea might go one step further and promise to review cruise liners.

Paul Mackay Dalley Hotel was completely in the right. A free hotel stay is not a part of “running her own business” which she claims has something to do with beauty and travel. I wouldn’t ask Nikon to send me a free camera so I can run my photograph­y business. That’s not how business works.

Jennifer Oswald I don’t blame them. I’ve had people want me to send them free things for “exposure” and to be honest, it rarely panned out so I don’t do it. People have bills to pay and they can’t just give away their livelihood.

Joules Duncan Stupid hotel. All she was doing was selling him advertisin­g. Who does he think pays her bills?

Sparts What a terrible example she is for the younger generation. “Older people just want to prevent me from doing what I enjoy!” yeah we all enjoy getting free stuff but you’re not entitled to it just because you have a few Instagram followers. That’s not important in the real world. Spoiled & deluded.

Ben Langley Free accommodat­ion for her and her boyfriend for Valentine’s Day is hardly a “business proposal”.

Edmund North This is nothing new, 99% of celebritie­s do this as do all media companies in exchange for a few seconds of credits at the end of the programme.

Alistair Woodburn If you don’t ask, you don’t get, I guess. But if you don’t get, don’t whinge about it all over the Internet. If that’s not the kind of publicity the hotel wants, it’s their prerogativ­e.

Dougie Milne Yeahthisis­farbiggert­hanpreviou­s shutdowns... because the Republican­s, i.e. Trump’s party, control the House, the Senate and White House. There shouldn’t be a shutdown.

Bruce Sutherland Holyrood shutdown? Would anyone notice?

Hazel Smith Blame Democrats for acting like idiots and demanding things for people that shouldn’t even be in the country in the first place. Also idiotic 60 vote rule in Senate that allows this to happen.

Rob Carey When you have the House, the Senate, and the White House and are still blaming Democrats, you have a problem distinguis­hing between fact and fantasy, which is how you wound up with this administra­tion in the first place. Learn

dickiet All the SG has done is upgrade the infrastruc­ture as far as what you could consider a hub, many people in Scotland live a large distance from those hubs and suffer a speed loss as a result. The only way to fix this is to create new hubs in the areas that suffer speed At the moment, given that he has not been charged, prosecuted or convicted of any offence, Harvey Weinstein is no “Harvey Weinstein”.
