Letter in the Sunday Herald

I've had a letter published in the Sunday Herald today. The Sunday Herald is a Scottish national newspaper slanted towards Scottish independence.

THE tone of “Rifkind looks like the right choice” (News, June 12) surprises me somewhat as the general theme seems to be how anti-Scottish the government is. What absolute tosh!

Scotland currently has more devolved power than any other part of the UK, and Scottish politicians hold the majority of senior positions within the Cabinet. On the flip side, England has no devolved government, is denied a referendum on the subject, and has legislation imposed on it against the will of elected English MPs by their Scottish counterparts.

Only a devolved parliament for England, with equal status and powers to that of the Scottish parliament, can end the inequality and bring an end to the rule of the despotic Scottish Raj.
