ANDREW Learmonth’s article, “FM told ‘heads should roll’ over Sick Kids delay” (September 13) is enlightening as it exposes Jackson Carlaw’s extravagant – and I would suggest inappropriate – use of language.
When compared with Boris Johnson’s illegal action of closing down the Westminster Parliament and lying to Her Majesty The Queen, I would have thought that an appropriate punishment for the PM would have been to have him hung, drawn and quartered! I also note that Jackson Carlaw exonerates the contractor from any blame. I wonder why?

Sadly this form of debate in the Scottish Parliament only demeans it in the eyes of the people, but alas it is part of the Tory party’s ongoing campaign to rubbish everything Scottish in the hope of closing the parliament down.
It would appear it is the leaderless Tory party in Scotland that will close down unless they can attract talented candidates whose loyalty is to the people of Scotland.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
