Letters / What a shock!
It was with shock that we learn a Yes vote will now mean no Doctor Who.
It is shocking that Better Together can produce such nonsense along with similar threats such as higher mobile phone charges, no currency union, no warship building and passports to cross the border.
Better Together should join in constructive debate and stop treating the people of Scotland with utter contempt.
Perhaps a live debate in Shetland is what is needed?
Although the No vote was slightly ahead after the debate in Shetland College, the Yes vote has since more than doubled.
We should discuss the revenue figures for the BBC, article 346 defence procurement, how borders work across the EU, and the structure and charges for mobile telecommunications throughout the UK and EU.

Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
