Sir, – Looking at the names that the self-appointed knights have forwarded to be elected to the Crofting Commission, I am appalled that the gall of some of the rascals that at one time worked behind a corporate shield and that the body that employed them spent time apologising for their actions!

Others have a slur about them that involves the commodity that we all want, money! Other people's money!

If one wants to get into a church marriage, the minister asks: “Is there anyone here that thinks this marriage should not be allowed?”

Will our minister screen the knights? Will the minister that ordered the previous commissioners to apologise for something they didn’t do, will he treat the new knights the same, as whipping dogs?

Ah yes, I see the demise of the Crofting Commission, the writing is on the wall, since the Red Baron has been appointed there has been a heavy bleed on staff, how many will be left before March?

But there again, he can rely on Police Scotland to give him staff!
