Apologies and congratulation

I’m pleased to have been updated to the fact that Jean Urquhart MSP has signed the Shetland Times “Drop the Debt” petition (our paper has just arrived) and called for others to do likewise.

Ms Urquhart is quoted in a lengthy “Comment” piece, “The Shetland Times “Drop the Debt” campaign is a worthy and welcome reminder of the need for governments to be held accountable for their promises and their actions.”

I was unaware of this and I apologise to her for her inclusion in my open letter (SN, 8 June 13) and welcome her politically courageous, comments.

That leaves only “Yes Shetland” dragging their feet.
