Letters / Indebted
We are indebted to your correspondents who replied to our letter (Immediate impact; SN, 09/02/14), and to the 83 people who took the trouble to share it throughout the isles.
We should point out that the Yes Shetland Facebook site is made up of a team of locally based admin and content writers, so personalising any replies directly to me may detract from the issues debated.
With followers numbering nearly 1,200 from Shetland, Scotland, USA, Canada, Australia and many European countries any publicity that is based on information and not deceit can only help people to reach the correct conclusion regardless if they vote Yes or No.

Become a supporter of Shetland News
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.
If you appreciate what we do and feel strongly about impartial local journalism, then please become a supporter of Shetland News by either making a single payment or monthly subscription.
Support us from as little as £3 per month – it only takes a minute to sign up. Thank you.
