Cull Scottish MEPs.


Mr Smith welcomes the support of Mr Paul Hutcheon in the Sunday Herald, for his comments supporting an "overdue cull" in the number of Scotland's Members of the European Parliament from seven to six as advocated by Mr Smith.

Mr Smith notes Mr Hutcheon's closing comment in which he says: "Former Bush administration official John Boulton once said the UN building in New York could lose ten storeys and nobody would notice. Ditto for Scotland's seven MEPs."

Come to think of it why stop at the UN building, or even the European Parliament?
