Scotland is competent

Sir, – Perhaps Derek Farmer, and others of a similar faith, should also look at the incompetence of ministers at Westminster? Ours are paragons of virtue compared to them.

Also to be consulted is perhaps the meaning of the word competence.

Scotland is well capable (ie competent) of dealing with all its own affairs, it is just not allowed to.
