William Wallace

Please keep your letter between 300 to 600 words and be sure to read it over first for typos and punctuation.

I suppose the media do not count as a “stakeholder” so the heartfelt “thank you” for them will come in a separate communication. It better come soon because, as the Editor is careful to point out here, Mr Wallace wears more than one football hat.
