Letters / Latter day Tokyo Rose

I see that you have received another email from cyberspace from the mysterious “Catriona Murray” (Islands referenda; SN 8/4/14), who is only prepared to communicate from behind an email address, refusing to furnish a proper address, or answer questions either on the phone or in person – sort of a latter-day “Tokyo Rose”!

I think we are entitled to ask who this person is, where they are actually living at a proper address (presumably not in the islands), and why the excessive secrecy and subterfuge surrounding this whole palaver.

If I write a letter to The Shetland Times or any other newspaper I am required to give my proper postal address as authentication and I am happy to do so as I am fully prepared to stand by my opinions as publicly expressed.

I expect no less transparency from other people who post their opinions in public.
