ArabiaTerra Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 After having read Mr Swick's letters I thought it sounded more like our esteemed Dr Wills, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On closer inspection, Mr Swick uses shetlandersagainstreality.org slightly different to Mr Hills shetlandagainstreality.org Maybe he is not as bonkers as I thought!

I don't think either of the Swick letters can be Stuart Hill. Why on earth would he start a campaign of satire against himself? The letters are too funny to be him, and too well-written. Surely someone else has just taken out the domain in his name? Or he's taken out the domain after reasing the letter. The site is certainly not as funny as the letters. If Stuart is Cedrick Swick though my opinion of him has skyrocketed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjool Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 This isn't really a thread about Stuart Hill. Let's try to keep focussed on the independence angle and avoid getting personal. Thankee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khitajrah Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 It's been postponed for a month because the Sheriff was delayed (so I heard on the Radio 2 news). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonners Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Whether he wins or loses I admire Stuart's get up and go on this one. It's funny how a soothmoother can sometimes be more passionate about Shetlandic issues than most Shetlanders. The fact that this is now being picked up by the national media almost gives his claim more credence, rightly or wrongly. I'm no expert on this issue at all but Stuart has done a lot of research. He will probably lose, but the legal thing hardly seems to make the UK claim on Shetland seem all that sturdy. It basically comes down to the fact that people have sort of accepted Shetland has been part of Scotland for years so that is how it should be. I thought law was supposed to be a bit more refined in outlook. If Brian Smith is right then Stuart Hill will lose ... but what if he wins?

I thought law was supposed to be a bit more refined in outlook. An awful lot of non-criminal law seems to revolve around the word 'reasonable'. Not much refinement there, it's all one big grey area.

MJ Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 What about the poor accountants? Maybe that sounds a bit like an oxymoron, but did they really want to be caught up in all this fuss?A rather long way round getting out of paying off a debt.Did turn up to have a gander, but got there to be told it's postponed till 22nd.
