Letters / Don’t speak ill of the dead
The late Gussie Angus devoted the majority of his adult life in the service of the Shetland community.
The huge number of people at his funeral bears testimony to this.
I was taught that ‘you do not speak ill of the dead’.
Recent correspondence in Shetland News demonstrates this no longer holds true.
I had not realised that people within this community could stoop to such depths.
