Calum Steele: This Central Belt knows best attitude leaves islanders’ high and dry

A year and a bit on from Robbie Drummond’s departure at CalMac and nothing has really changed for South Uist, which kind of reinforces that he wasn’t the (only) problem. Fundamentally the islands are failed by the belief the Central Belt knows best which is why islanders’ voices are nowhere to be heard around the tables that matter.
