Letters / Wind farm bias
I am sick of those people who are making miles out of Alistair Carmichael’s humiliation, those who address the world as The People of Shetland and wish that they would desist from calling themselves such.
I understand that the 30-odd-thousand or so under this banner (almost 50 per cent more than the actual population of Shetland) are mostly from mainland Scotland, with just a tiny percentage of voters in Shetland being part of this lynch party.
If the call for Carmichael to stand down was from Some of the People of Shetland or A minority of the People of Shetland, their case might be more palatable, more believable.
If some Shetland voters upset by lies and duplicity in politics involving our MP were to protest, this group might therefore receive less press publicity than this lot do, but as it is they should be seen for what they are, troublemakers outwith Shetland who are following – no, pushing – their own agenda to make all of Scotland SNP.
I did not vote for Alistair Carmichael this time round, as he has lied about his bias towards giant wind farms in Shetland, (promoting them at Westminster) but thought he would have had the sense to stand down after this new deceit was made public, and that he would let someone else keep us free from SNP zealots.
However, he may have by his foolish selfish actions lost Shetland to Scottish Nationalists after all.
