Letters / On the contrary
On the contrary, Willie Nicolson, (I am a Shetlander; SN, 03/04/14) I think you have every right to pass comment and sign the petition; it is Yes Shetland that are censoring comments about the petition on their Facebook page.
Yes Shetland supporters are against folk from outside the isles, i.e. expats like yourself, having and expressing an opinion that is contrary to their own. They are most certainly against any of you signing the petition.
The Yes Shetland (Glasgow) tag is being used because they have more folk in Glasgow on their book than folk from Shetland, but claim support for their cause in the isles based on the number of likes for their page.
