IF Alex Cole-Hamilton really believes that his three MSPs are “crackling with talent and ideas” he has not seen the election communications from his predecessor in the post of leader of the laughable Liberal Democrats (Willie Rennie gets role in Alex Cole-Hamilton’s reshuffled LibDem team, August 27).
As his constituent, every communication I have received from Willie Rennie presents a list of cafes and restaurants he has visited, businesses he has called in on and other people’s campaigns he has tagged himself on to. It is all the work of somebody else and any original idea is hard to find.

Even his “second divisive referendum” mantra was borrowed from Baroness Davidson of somewhere in Fife.
I do wonder if perhaps Mr Cole-Hamilton has been careless with his choice of mushrooms at breakfast because I can see no sound reason to think of Willie Rennie as “crackling with talent and ideas”.

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!
