Full attack mode

The nationalists are in full attack mode. Now they criticise Tavish Scott MSP, the SIC, ZetTrans and anyone who wants the SNP government to reverse their cuts to this lifeline support.

Cutting the high cost of airfares for islanders was the aim of Tavish Scott when part of a government who supported the islands. The SNP have cut ADS [Air Discount Scheme]. When that is pointed out then they resort to attack and bluster. There must be an election on the horizon!
