Letters / Emma has missed da boat – again

I honestly didna ken if I should laugh or greet when I took a look at da Lib Dem’s ‘Shetland Gazette’ dis week.

On da second page Emma is pleepsing aboot da cost o travelling on NorthLink ferries. Does she no ken dat last week da Scottish Government scrapped peak ferry fares following Hannah Mary’s passionate speech at the SNP conference?

Maybe she forgot ta check da proofs afore da Gazette geed ta press, or maybe she wrat yun bruk dat lang ago it’s past its sell-by date.

I tout dir might be some acknowledgement o Hannah Mary’s successful efforts ta abolish peak season fares fir islanders. Not at all – just an endless list of complaints.

If you want somebody wha will sharg fae da sidelines; vote fir Emma. If you want somebody ta roll dir sleeves up and get things done; vote for Hannah Mary.
