Letters / Like a veggie eating meat

In reply to Carole Radford (Rue the day; SN 17/5/12)

Thank you for your reply, I’m a great believer in debate and enjoy it thoroughly. Sadly Aberdeen Union Gardens is another thing we disagree on.

I believe Aberdeen desperately needs a civic square which stands out for the capital of oil and gas.

As for Sustainable Shetland I simple can’t take a group seriously that go on about their members’ health and well being yet happily standby and watch a hydrocarbon processing plant get built five to 10 miles north of where the windmills will be built.

It’s like watching a vegetarian eat meat.
