Ever-sinking with few hands left on board, the Herald of Glasgow, like the lost Channel ferry, the Herald of Free Enterprise is desperately baling out anything it can to stay afloat and has now reached its bowels.
Today, Senior News Reporter, Martin Williams has this:
Where to begin?
- ‘Forced to bring in relief vessels?’ Isn’t that what you do when you have a breakdown? Isn’t that good? They have relief vessels.
- ‘Fresh chaos?’ 99% of more than 520 sailings on time across Scotland, for days now and a 95% average across the Summer.
- There is a causeway to South Uist for Eriskay’s around 140 residents. How much does it cost the rest of us to subsidise a ferry for 140 folk?
- ‘All services dropped? All?’ There were only 2 anyway.
- The South Uist crossing to Mallaig returns today.
- There is another crossing in North Uist.
The Award – Scottish Highlands and Islands Transport Excellence…SH….!

I also noticed a few days ago the Herald tried to hide its “Should CALMAC be broken up” poll results.
That didn’t quite go the way that the Herald clearly wanted! 🙂

Lorry broke down on the M73, caused thousands of hours of people delays until a recovery truck appeared.
Have you seen the M8 at Hillington? or at Charing Cross?

Even by Martin Williams’s “stranded”, “beleaguered” low standards, it is pretty damned pathetic.
However, given Stephen McKenzie’s revelation the Herald “tried to hide its “Should CALMAC be broken up” poll results” because it came out supporting CalMac, it is perhaps understandable given the notion someone with commercial interests is funding this entire propaganda campaign for that precise objective.
On a totally different topic, does nobody else think it odd that Douglas Powers and James McColl have never been seen in the same place simultaneously ?

‘Calmac problems’ and ‘ferry fiasco’topics bring news outlets in Scotland a lot of readers. Calmac seems to be getting close to solving the problems. (Let’s hope so..)
