Letters: Do not repeat oil folly with this wind bonanza


ENTREPRENEURIAL Scotland is well represented in the new Council of Economic Advisors to the Scottish Government. I expect it will shortly get down to considering the country’s huge potential to create clean energy far beyond our domestic requirements. No doubt it will also look at the prospect of exporting clear, clean water as Europe and the south of England warm up due to climate change.
Already several very big businesses are gathering to bid for offshore wind licences from the Scottish Government ( Giants increase competition for windfarm licences off Scotland , The Herald, July 16).
This evokes a strong sense of déjà vu, as I recall Westminster doling out the oil exploration and development licences in the early 1970s. Big Oil rewarded Scotland with several decades of hard-working jobs extracting this national resource from our waters and Aberdeen enjoyed boom times – now a distant memory. ....

We have now witnessed another extreme of allowing crowds of fitba bawheids in homes, pubs, streets, fan zones and stadia, to fill their mooths wi swally and then jump aboot, shouting and screaming. ....

Letters: State has a key role to play in free speech debate


The then Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf steered the Hate Crime Bill through the Scottish Parliament in March, but it still has many critics
AT first reading, Adam Tomkins’ article ( Free speech matters – even when it’s offensive , The Herald, June 9) said little with which I could disagree. He wrote: “Just because someone else’s speech upsets you – just because you find it offensive – does not mean they have no right to say it.” However, a little thought makes me side with the University of Edinburgh, who described free speech as “complex”, and not with Mr Tompkins, who thinks it’s simple. ....
