WHAT a pity David Lacey (HAS, May 14) resorts to cheap anti- Scottish jibes by saying: "We seem to be surrounded by deluded Scots".
Scotland can stand on its own two feet very well - that is why it can look after its old people free of charge and provide free university education. If England were to offer these services free it would be bankrupt in no time at all.
I am actually in favour of the Union and, with Scottish oil and whisky, I think we Scots pay our way.
It is careless talk to accuse we Scots of being deluded. Maybe it is the accuser who is deluded for entertaining such a ridiculous idea.
