there is also btw a significant amount of support in the islands for the sailing (and not just from white settlers) - those sabbatarians are pretty vocal but I'd be suprised if there was anything like a majority against the ferry service. I think a poll done in 2000 (which is the only one ever conducted) had more than 2/3 in favour of sunday sailings to Lewis and Harris (IIRC)

What percentage of people on Harris & Lewis are wee frees dude (assuming that it is them who in the main are the biggest opposition to Sunday stuff)?
Things like this get on my tits tbh. I've no problem with people wanting to observe the sabbath if that's their honest religious belief, and I also don't think that someone should be forced to work on whatever their sabbath day is if that is part of their religion, but why should their lifestyle have to impact on others who do not share those beliefs?
It's the same with churches organising opposition to gay rights, abortion etc. They feel these things are wrong, but they shouldn't be dictating anything to those who do not share those beliefs. Evangelise, and turn people into christians, buddhists, muslims, jews, sikhs, or hindus all you want so they don't do the things you disagree with, but don't try to impose your own will on those who disagree with you.
And yes this viewpoint
is motivated because you can hardly get a pint anywhere in Scotland before 12:30pm on a Sunday
