Perhaps one of the few good things to come out of it will be the Islanders getting sunday newspapers on a Sunday!
There will be all sorts of background manouvres to persuade BMI to at least extend the Sunday service to route via Benbecula, where the huge military presence means the real world operates on the Uists.
Obviously it's a fine dividing line between operating costs and BMIs bottom line return, but having lived there for several years, I think it would work.
May the Lord gods Murdoch and Desmond spread the alternative word, and the Wee Frees wobble in their hypocritical boots.
