Letters / Brassed off

Danus Skene must be feeling pretty brassed off at this news.

It is now obvious that Alistair Carmichael only instigated this inquiry to ensure that his complicity would not be made public before the election.

Scotland would almost certainly now be a LibDem free zone if this information had been made public immediately, even if an apology by Alistair Carmichael had been made at the same time.
