Letter: Broken Bond
Or that he and the party he supports whined and clamoured for a British knighthood, surely the unassailable height of hypocrisy.
Then Joan McAlpine (Comment, 25 August) purports to defend her leader, Alex Salmond, obediently putting out the party line. She confuses, deliberately or otherwise, self-confidence and egomaniacal bluster, belligerence and lack of grace and statesmanship. These facets of the First Minister's character are the antithesis of good leadership.
Only when egos such as those of Connery and Salmond have left the scene can Scotland move forward.
