Just a joke

Scott Arthur (Letters, 27 April) claims that Alex Salmond was “secretly filmed claiming he would be writing Labour’s budget for them.”

First of all, this was a political meeting opened to all and was being openly filmed by many people so there was nothing secret about it. Also, anyone with a sense of humour knows it was a joke, and Alex Salmond has said as much.
