| Scotland’s Children's Commissioner this week launched a
consultation amongst the nation’s youth to find out what they wanted her to do for
the next two years. Perhaps wisely, kids are only allowed to respond under 7 rather
anodyne and politically-correct headings. I mean, could you imagine giving Scottish
kids carte blanche to ask for anything? |
- (Shona, age 6) "I would like there to be world peace and for everyone to have
plenty of food to eat."
- (Cameron, age 14)" I would like you to make Fiona in fifth year go out with me and
stop treating me like a kid".
- (Callum, age 7). "I wish people would be nicer to animals".
|
- (Brian, age 13) "I wish I had X-ray glasses. Never mind why."
- (Asam, age 8) "I pray for peace in the Middle-East."
- (Fiona age16) "I wish that Cameron kid would stop following me ‘round.
He’s freakin me out."
- (Cameron age 14) "Forget what I said earlier about Fiona, she’s a slag and I
hate her. Can I just have Brian’s glasses instead?"
