Letters / Clear o da lot o dem

Douglas Young’s latest piece to the local press (Not worth responding; SN, 06/03/15) is in line with the rest of his pieces, totally inaccurate either that or the Shetland News got it wrong.

So maybe a retraction from the Shetland News would save his face. Failing that I guess he will carry on spouting rhetoric and hoping we are mug enough to swallow it.

Thirty six per cent swallowed it in September; let’s see how many fall for it come May.

I for one will keep pointing out the equine manure wherever Douglas cares to spread it.

As for my personal views; you all know where I stand and that is we would be far better aff clear o da lot o dem.

I just feel sorry for all those who think the politicians in Holyrood are any different to those in Westminster, rogues and charlatans one and all.
