What a gob-smacking bonanza in The Echo (August 16) when various letter writers warned of dangers inherent in a ‘Yes’ vote.
Firstly, Mr Olson warned us of unnamed ‘foreign vested interests’ exploiting unnamed ‘loopholes’ in the Voice. Then Mr MacDonald sermonised that all those who care about the environment and community will have ‘egg on their faces for eternity’ so there!
And finally, Mr Pratt tells us that it’s only a bit of a no-no if slaughter and dispossession are unleashed by Anglo-Saxons rather than Japs and Jerries. Then it’s legitimate conquest, not theft. All in the name I suppose.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
