Mattie got a reaction from Aaron Foord in Sea Shepherd in Shetland
http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/2011/07/06/operation-ferocious-isles-defending-the-rights-of-whales-in-the-faeroe-islands-1
Great to see them in Shetland before they depart to the Faeroe Islands for the annual cull of Pilot Whales. Called the "Grind"..
A shocking and barbaric practice of drawing Pilot whales into a bay and slaughtering them.
The boat is open to the public in the afternoon while they are here.

Mattie reacted to Mistymaud in How Safe is Your Hospital
Just thought of a specific instance with regard to confidentiality. A couple of years ago a woman I know went berserk because her husband had gone to the doctor and the doctor had starting telling the husband all about the woman's medical condition. Shame she hadn't told him first. All hell broke loose.
Breach of patient confidentiality - even to a husband.

Mattie got a reaction from ArabiaTerra in Alistair Carmichael new secretary of state for Scotland
The Man is nothing but a Middle Class Moron!
Wishing he had toffee in his mouth!
Student Fees, The Bedroom Tax, Fracking, Badger Culling and the quick sale by night of the Post Office by his mates South!
Telling us, It won't make a difference to mail deliveries in Shetland!
What planet are you on Carmichael?
It's hard enough getting companies to send items to us in Shetland already..!

Bodger and Badger currently costs £8.48 on Amazon free delivery!! How much when our mail is privatised by Carmichael and his Tory mates??

Mattie reacted to Ghostrider in Gollywogs - is this guy for real?.
^ Yes, as already fully explained in reply #436, defensive and insular against lying, duplicitous, fly by night individuals, especially those orchestrating situations which would not otherwise exist to hijack for their own selfish personal benefit.
Yes, the individual in question this time is coloured, so what? It wouldn't have mattered what colour, race or creed he was, I'd have said the same as I have regardless, and did when the issue that spawned this thread initially arose. The only possible advantage the issue involving Mr. Sissay could have had was that as a coloured person his input could have had greater credence and validity than that of a non-coloured person. Unfortunately for everyone he threw that advantage away when he chose to follow the route and actions he took, which destroyed completely the reliability and credibility of his input.
If you continue as you have this far, of blinkeredly only focusing on his appearance and wholly ignoring all other contributory factors in this issue, you will always see it as a race issue. Please try and set aside your obsession that if a minority of any sort is involved in a situation, that there has to be discrimination against them involved for no other reason than they are part of a minority, and review all of the information relevant to the issue.

Mattie reacted to Lerwick antiques in Gollywogs - is this guy for real?.
I have read the article both on the internet and in todays (13.9.13) Shetland Times about "The Magpies Nest" selling golly's. I have knowing the lady that owns the shop for many years and know her very well. She is in NO way a racist.
I personally find this completely out-of-order and down right cruel to say things like this about the 70 year old Shetland born lady who owns the shop. This has upset her that much that she is thinking of closing down due to this nasty write up about her.
I know some folk do find golly's offensive, everyone has their own opinion. I personally don't see the problem as it is "collectors dolls" still made today by a company and is perfectly legal.
I am not stating if selling golly's are p/c or not. It is certainly well out-of-order to call the lady "a grey lady" and insinuate that she is a racist and to write lies about his visit to her shop.
This is more aimed at accusing the lady of something that she is NOT (racist) and writing insults about her, rather than the p/c topic of golly collectors dolls.
Well and truly sickening for the lady, her family/friends and many shetlanders.
Keep the shop going, ignore this write up, there are many folk behind you.
