Letters: Time for the SNP Government to show some ambition

CONGRATULATIONS to The Herald and the Ferret for the important and informative series on Who Runs Scotland (The Herald, July 12, 13 & 14). These issues on the Scottish economy and polity have been of concern to some academic and campaign groups but are seldom discussed and critically examined in the mainstream media, even less so in mainstream politics. Thank you for asking the serious questions about where power lies and who are making or influencing the decisions affecting many lives. And of course who are profiting. There has been much justifiable anger about the contrast between how Norway managed her oil resources and how Scotland s resources were managed by the UK Government. Norway now has a massive sovereign wealth fund for its future security. But Scotland s renewable resources and their great future potential are being managed in a similar way to Scotland s oil. The Holyrood Government has shown little ambition and initiative in controlling these resources for Scotland

Drew Allan: Pardon me, but do you speak American?

Pardon me, but do you speak American? NOT for the first time, a headline in our Voices section caused some controversy this week. It appeared above Andrew McKie’s column on Tuesday: “The budgets are still big. it’s Hollywood’s imagination and verve that have gotten small.” There was some spluttering of tea over toast on breakfast tables.

Covid in Scotland: Study probes lives of ethnic and religious minorities during pandemic

A new survey is to examine the lives of 17,000 ethnic and religious minority people to highlight the issues they have faced during the coronavirus pandemic. The Evidence for Equality National Survey (Evens) will document the impact of Covid-19 lockdowns on people from ethnic and religious minority groups in Britain. It will ask participants about employment, finance, education, economic wellbeing, health, housing, policing, identity and experiences of discrimination and racism. The project is led by the Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE) with researchers from the Universities of St Andrews, Manchester, and Sussex, and will run until May 2021. The research, which its founders say is the “first and largest survey of its kind”, is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
