IN relation to the refugee crisis, what about St Kilda?

This would be the ideal island to put our refugees escaping from their war torn countries.

According to our politicians, there will be many skilled workers among them.

They could build houses, create business and other enterprises.

This would mean jobs as ferries would need to travel between St Kilda and the nearest mainland.

Our politicians would need to get cracking on this.

What an asset for Scotland!

Dear Nicola Sturgeon, instead of gloating about another referendum will you please get your act together and start running the country as you were elected to do.

The police force is a farce, the fire and emergency services have to pay VAT, the education system produces pupils who can't do the 3 R's and, last but not least, the new hospital can't cope and has bed shortages.

Mind you when you take NHS funds to pay for the completion of a tram service that just shows me where your head is. Stuck in the sand.

In relation to the report on the young boy attacked while playing football in "upmarket Glasgow suburb" (Evening Times, October 16) it seems to promote a poverty /class agenda instead of the real issue of violence on our streets.

The kids involved suffered serious injuries that's why they should be reported, not because of where they live.

If you think these are isolated incidents in upmarket suburbs , you are having a laugh.

Most parents either don't report violent attacks on their kids as the kids themselves fear of reprisals at school or in their neighbourhood

The police arrive days later to take a statement and most never hear anything else about it

So it really is not any different where you live. Violent little thugs are everywhere.

A boy was assaulted in upmarket Newton Mearns just last week and that story also reached the newspapers.

Kids in deprived areas are attacked all the time and those stories don't get publicity like this.

In fact, the police don't even bother with those cases.

They are not upmarket enough.

How sad to read of a man who was found dead four years ago had still not been identified (Evening Times, October 16).

A sad, sad situation.Hopefully the police will eventually identify the young man.Someone must know him.
