Sir,
It is with some amazement that we read of the Labour candidate offering an opinion
regarding the Lochboisdale -
In what is obviously quite an
embarrassing episode for him, we remember that he was an MSP and government minister,
along with having tourism as part of his remit at this time, when he, and the Labour

What makes this even more damning is the fact that during this time, Alasdair Morrison
had the benefit of having his party in power at both Westminster and Holyrood, the
level of support available to him to make the ferry service happen was enormous.
The next time he decides to take issue on matters like this, he should think back
to how he and his party let not only our communities, but also our country down,
with their poor management and economic recklessness.
