A fine bridge

-

A £50 penalty is facing car drivers who use the Forth Road Bridge – only taxis, buses and bikes are meant to be on it, but some drivers are still using the road bridge rather than the Queensferr­y Crossing, which opened last year as a replacemen­t. We don’t have double the capacity if the bridge is restricted to buses and taxis only. The basic question that should be being asked is how are we going to fix this bridge, so that it can be used to full capacity. Maintainin­g it for just a few buses and taxis is a nonsense.

Jock Tamson What is needed is for one bridge to carry northbound traffic and the other to carry southbound traffic. Before that can be achieved, the Road Bridge needs repair because of its inadequate original design, but that repair should now be given the highest priority with (as far as may be possible) as many lanes as possible being kept open in the meantime.

President Trump is echoing what his supporters already well know; that the left-wing media has suppressed his many successes ever since he became President, and has highlighte­d sensationa­list nonsense.

A Fine Disregard Many successes? I can’t think of even one.

Google decides which results come up first when entries are made. Some never come up because they are so far down the list.

Joan Simpson It just seems to be the altright that thinks mainstream news and journalism should reflect only their views, prejudices and take on things, and because it doesn’t it means that all mainstream news and journalism must therefore be fake. How has it come to this?

Fake news.

Fake President.
