Fringe benefits

YOUR columnist Donald MacLeod describes David Cameron’s resignation honours list as cronyism, which is difficult to disagree with.

He then destroys his argument by recommending that readers attend his “very talented” brother’s show at the Edinburgh Fringe, when there are over 2000 to choose from. If that isn’t cronyism, I don’t know what is.

Robert Wilson, Newarthill.

WITH reference to Cameron’s honours list, what about me?

I have been looking after my friend John, who has dementia, for 13 years with no help, no pay, not even a holiday. I’ll say it again: what about me?

June Buchanan, Motherwell.
