Letters / John of Patmos
Since he found refuge in Scotland’s central belt, in the Land of Labour, John Tulloch seems to be under the illusion that he is actually John of Patmos, the name given by some modern scholars to the author of the Book of Revelation.
Surely if this is the case, he has ‘divined’ some evidence of the conflation of Shetland’s unpaid housing debt and the rise and rise of Glasgow Housing Association?
Whatever the case may be, I think the advice given in Deuteronomy is very apposite for John Tulloch, “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations”.
