Letter: Careless talk
I am sure all of us will welcome Alex Salmond's apology for using the word "schizophrenic" as a parliamentary insult (your report, 29 October).
As a supporter of the campaign to destigmatise mental illness, it is encouraging that the First Minister has recognised that how we use words matters.
I am sure that he would not dream of using someone's race or sexuality as a form of insult.
Let's hope all politicians rem-ember that what they say, and they how say it, has an impact.
