The Herald

Upon my oath...

-

I FIND it odd that some MSPS were taking the oath to the Queen in non-english languages (“Most diverse parliament since devolution sworn in with a dozen languages”, The Herald, May 14) when almost 100 per cent of Scots speak English as a first (in most cases only) language. Who is this aimed at? Certainly not that vast majority of Scots whom these members are representi­ng. Well, I’m something of a closet Trekkie and demand representa­tion too. Why not go all out and do the oath in Klingon?
