A Scottish news agency has been in touch.

They wanted Forest's response to the following tweet by Stewart Stevenson, Scotland's minister for Environment and Climate Change:

I won't bore you with my response. But I'd be interested to read yours.

The Scotsman has the story, including my reaction, here:

Minister accused of intolerance after branding fireworks smokers 'foul'

Meanwhile Stevenson has added this tweet:

PS. You may remember Stewart Stevenson. He resigned as Scotland's transport minister last December "over his handling of the travel chaos caused by the extreme winter weather" (BBC News).

Lucky he's no longer in charge of transport policy. See Ban on smoking in cars the next 'logical step'? (Brian Monteith, The Free Society).
