Today, a reader has a simple statement: enough is enough.
Peter Wright of West Kilbride writes:
"Enough is enough. Your reporting of the escalating problems of CalMac ferries is yet another indication of the failure of this SNP Government to support the islands economy.
Will it be possible for the new First Minister in his promise to "dedicate every fibre of of my being to economic growth" to sort out this mess and include the islands in his great vision?
Will he stop the stupidity of awarding CalMac an uncontested contract and will he abolish the incompetent CMAL/CalMac/David MacBrayne throttle-hold on good economic management and businesslike common sense?
Will he continue his Government's concentration on the Central Belt or will he lift his eyes beyond its confines to those abandoned citizens?
Or will he continue to support quangos that are destroying the income and jobs of hard-working but frustrated islanders?
It is time for change but it is looking like John Swinney will give us continuity and all the pain and hurt that it involves.
Oh, and will the deputy leader, Kate Forbes, MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch also support the many islanders that she represents? Oops. Sorry. Skye has a bridge."
