Love lorne

Any shop or business has the right to refuse business for whatever the reason.

Stuart Cowan

Entirely agree. There should be no let or hindrance put on the lives of gay people, but gay people cannot demand approval. Free speech rights don’t just cover the right to say something, but also not to say things. The initial decisions were ridiculous.

The Christian bakers weren’t asked to say or agree/disagree with anything – what had it to do with their free speech? They were simply asked to provide the service they advertised but chose not to because of their intoleranc­e for something that’s legal in all of the UK but not in NI.

Dunnomuch Surely we’re “allowed” to disagree with same sex marriage? If we disagree with it are we necessaril­y “intolerant” and/or “homophobic”?

Pax Vobiscum This was entrapment aimed at humiliatin­g the bakers. They would not have pulled the same stunt at an Islamic baker’s shop.

Logic Probe A school’s charity breakfast has been postponed because the rolls and lorne sausage on the menu were deemed not “in compliance” with a council’s nutritiona­l standards.

It will soon be illegal to serve any meat or white bread in Scotchland. Only celery wholegrain pittas will be

allowed for breakfast.

Iain Make the council run around the football pitch ten times as punishment for their stupidity. Pupils can run round afterwards to improve their health.

richard hoare Any truth in the rumour the council offered large cakes emblazoned with “I support gay marriage” as an alternativ­e?

Arch Stainton

First they came for the booze, then they came for the fags, now they have come for the Lorne sausage. What next from the control freaks that run our councils?

Sir Albert Tatloch

Let’s hope Stirling council has made the kids feel better by donating a wad of money from their discretion­ary fund to the charity.

Sweeny Bean Wonder how many chocoholic­s sit around in that council chamber.
