THE playground ban on cooked takeaway lunches (yesterday) once again shows a council ready to tell people what to do.

Don't take your car into town, take the bus, cycle or walk, we're told.

Now its young adults, recently given the right to vote in an important referendum, being denied the choice of taking cooked food into schools.

Will there be "cooked food wardens" on patrol, sniffing out vinegar, chips or pakoras?

When did all this personal interference begin? I don't recall the councils getting involved in this sort of thing previously.

Why don't they just get on with fixing roads and the other mundane things councils do and let people get on with their own lives ?

Man is danger

Regarding your reports on Jonathan Kelly, why was this person allowed out in licence in the first place? He is obviously a very dangerous individual and he should have been kept in custody.

The people who allowed this to happen, released a very dangerous man who is a threat to the public. They should be asked why this happened.

No means No

I can't believe some people are still campaigning for an independent Scotland.

They need to accept that there has been a referendum and Scots voted No because they want to stay part of the Union.

No amount of Saltire waving will change this. It's time to move on as its become boring listening to the same old arguments.

Yes supporters need to get a life and get out more.

Time runs out

Great to see the Yes campaign goes on.

Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Time is running out for Scottish unionists come the next round of elections.

As those old sandwich board ads used to say, "Be sure your lies will find you out".

And your lies have certainly been found out this time.
