Letters / Join the 1.6 million

There is absolutely no point in protesting against school closures if you voted No, or didna bother voting.

On the 18th of September you voted to give absolute financial power to Westminster on how much of our own money they would return to us.

There is still time to do something about it and it involves some simple choices.

Your protest is wasted on the SIC or Holyrood.

It needs to go further south.

Time to join the 1.6 million (and rising) who are seeking democracy for the bairns.

Aye yours

Douglas Young,
Sumburgh
