SIR, – Has the SNP gone bonkers? Is Nicky fit for the job?
Agriculture is a mess and when Fergus Ewing came to the fore ‘he was the man’ – sadly this is not the case and he has shown how good he is at his job. 
No point of running scared when you have boobed. All last week on the radio we heard the apologies of First Minister Nicky, because of the mess our education system is in. How right she is! 
Our local school sets out to recruit teachers! The qualification needed? – ‘Just say you are a teacher!’
Brexit has put the whole thing into a turmoil, the politically correct are running about like headless chickens, especially when an outsider, Donald Trump, got elected into office in the US, after all our politicians rubbished him. Talk about getting egg on one’s face.
I would suggest that the SNP add another type of degree of education into the curriculum – master of integrity. But the downside, where are they going to get people to teach that?
Could we get teachers from the media, or the politicians or the clergy or bankers or subsidy-soaked farmers or lawyers or doctors?
How about vets? Yes they would fit the ticket as their patients are not human and very seldom do they stray from the truth!
