Letters / We can sort it out
What are the priorities in Britain?
We live in a rich country and yet foodbanks are becoming the norm, they will be busy over Christmas.
In contrast, 75 per cent of banking millionaires in the EU are based in Britain, over 2,700 of them.
What can we expect from the Cabinet?
This Cabinet is full of millionaires, they award tax cuts to the rich and are dismantling the welfare system for those in need.
We are moving back to the Victorian idea of the poor, the deserving poor and the undeserving poor.
There is indeed something rotten in the state of Britain.
We can sort that out in September with a Yes vote and build a country for all.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.
Your contribution will ensure Shetland News can: -
- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
- Give a voice to the community;
- Grow site traffic further;
- Research and publish more in-depth news, including more Shetland Lives features.
