Shetlanders have a very long Liberal connection, even when there were no other Liberals left and that may well continue - despite the fact that their current MP is a court-proven liar. That they should tend to wish to stand outside the mainland's consesnus if only as a means to ensure that they are heard and attended to, is entirely understandable; however, even there the SNP has made big strides in recent years and the SNP government has continued to make more and more special arrangements for Scotland's island communities - and quite rightly too.
As to our independence date, we'll see - but you will find it will come much sooner than you or the arrogant May think - and as the Big Yin would say - "That's a fact and no a rumour."
