Troubled waters

Oddly for some, Boris would be very good for the Union. His performanc­e as mayor of London was very good and he communicat­ed well with a largely Labour population, too. So well he won a second term, too. He is also very intelligen­t and has managed in all this to write several books. That on Churchill and that on the Roman Empire being particular­ly good.

Corrigenda A real bridge-builder is ol’ Boris.

Boris will be good for Scottish independen­ce.

Allan Reid

Yes, he will free us from the Euro-shackles.

Ian Beale It’s like cholera endorsing the bubonic plague.

Brus Mckee Kiss of death for Boris? We can but hope.

Scotspat Boris will be the next Prime Minister of the UK, whether you like it or not.

Boris is popular with the Tory members but the list will be down to two before they get the chance to vote and by that time the MPS who don’t like him will have voted him out.

Roddy Macdonald

He’s just another non-uk born comedian intent on destroying the UK, and the under-educated plebs think he’s a great bloke because they’re too dim to realise that he’s leading them by the nose.

Mocha Man Open the original bridge to traffic until this mess is sorted – can’t be that difficult.

Graeme Robertson It is worth recalling that it was Mrs Sturgeon who cut the budget for the repair and maintenanc­e of the Forth Road Bridge by a staggering 63 per cent – and then when the bridge had to be closed to all traffic for several months for repair Mrs Sturgeon claimed that its closure was “unforeseen”.

Ah’m No Bluffin The QC is another SNP vanity project that was opened far too early – for political reasons – and the prospect of up to 27 months after opening is not a realistic “snagging” period! As many have noted from the start,the roads infrastruc­ture does not help the traffic flow and £1.3bn is not money well spent – but, hey doesn’t it look nice?

Is the Queensferr­y Crossing closed? No. Do motorists pay bridge tolls? No. Do petrolhead­s each want their own bridge to save inconvenie­nce?

Queensferr­y Crossing is another success story for the SNP. Just like the SNHS, From a personal point of view you have to congratula­te the Canadians on their attitudes towards cannabis. It can be bought in different formats and strengths tailored to the type of high required. Less people now smoke it, which will have added health benefits and it is controlled, out of the hands of criminal gangs.

Another Voice I’m gonna take a wild stab here and suggest many of the admissions resulted in telling the patients that they

handytrim Nursed for 35 years and never had a patient rushed into hospital due to cannabis; I did, however, have loads of people admitted due to alcohol.

Heather Henderson Just a thought, I wonder how many were admitted for drink-related issues? I’ll bet it was tenfold the number of people who reacted badly to weed. And just a little point, you can’t overdose on weed ... impossible ... you can make yourself sick but not overdose.

Martin Excessive or cumulative consumptio­n of “weed” causes feelings of paranoia and aggression and like all psychotrop­ic substances is addictive.
