Ironwithin Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 The poll was worse than ones we used to do at school. Would be better if the Shetland Times or a group without a vested interest in the result did one. I don't disagree with the polls out comes just the methodology and someone doing it who is keen for a certain result. Davie P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserker Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 In my experience of campaigns like this on the street, people who don't agree with the banners on display will just walk on by, so this really just seems like a poll of 28 supporters who took the time to stop. And to be honest, 28 is not a lot for a days work. Davie P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffererof1crankymofo Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Blatantly obvious that the poll has people voting more than once by clearing their cookies/swapping from Firefox to Chrome to IE. Elected was in the lead and then just like other polls, selected option went up and up and up every minute. It could have been worded better. They could have had selected appointees used throughout for selected trustees just like in the last option they referred to selected appointees.

Ghostrider Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 A somewhat more verifiable and credible petition than the ST poll, for anyone who cares to show their displeasure at the incesteous mutual back scratching cabal that's steadily taking over the SCT. http://www.petitions24.com/democracy_for_shetlands_charitable_trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuckleJoannie Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well this beats all! http://www.shetlandtimes.co.uk/2017/04/21/shetland-charitable-trust-appoints-four-new-trustees They include Margaret Roberts, Geoffrey Hay and Malcolm Younger. A man who won't register his foundation with OSCR, can't file his company accounts on time and has been threatened with eviction by SLAP. https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/search-judgments/judgment?id=5bf186a6-8980-69d2-b500-ff0000d74aa7 https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/document-api-images-prod/docs/U7oAOOXqSDxCNMwPX-dENlm01U1AEQSrZMXgcZdZrzY/application-pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=ASIAJZMZYT3O3EFHLNIA&Expires=1492810597&Signature=wqPNOKOSrbcNt1KuGJ9o%2BIWlzK8%3D&x-amz-security-token=FQoDYXdzEJP%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2FwEaDHoXWgsNvP7F8NcvmSK3A%2FQ%2BTCweMbXNr0o%2FJLPTA9XM5SRI7DxAxK9gDXJx0IoW3j7%2Bo16tK4yHShTWcAB7pSfBVR3F1XpwFWawXGcmNxracofn1KuArZoNkqNMN%2FnCcbYptWhAqhmLur6rCYa%2FZwuNrqsLmhhpsMcw%2FGxy%2Ft%2BZVuuBr%2BtcYIjSBrxWXRiu5oWt9MvMDplsGSJhZJ4X4F%2FSlN%2F7kZEAVIuLdYZmui9FSrYQl1gT%2B7ufywU4n34YsNMDCsTAx%2FP80hM5JdogZXBCnwX%2BY3LJABNzKVVv6oym7rARlQCCDndlatg893JiGD4qo2Y3iuY7S0behcQ63d62Amn4T%2BRKd1AJFaGKQyv6G0QY0LOZjdE9cBVnTzRzPBbSDgz%2F%2FvzI4oUntqezvul345IQCxsV8iKOKFQYUWmCWSLFJ4hPcbz4CtUG6MfxAZLbvjTZAmUyfqKcrbubCiAbO6J9mgb3yT%2BQ8QVXD1Uc241e6RbVeBLhwTmfCeVPRL2Il%2FlrCVLyqXs4ip1cNO4Pa64QohAwMTosBRtP7zcbwyGmJCfqJ%2FmlSpAK8FLXCY0LfKzZkygVYHuXgC7PJ3G1oiqYDYUojYvpxwU%3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windwalker Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It is laughable, but also worrying, that this unelected group of people can fill the trust with whoever they wish and control the people of Shetlands money. I though one of their arguments for appointing trustees was they could get the right experience on board, If this is the best they can do then I can only assume it's just jobs for the boys or we will appoint those who fit our agenda. Personally I am very concerned as to where this trust is going and that we now have a self appointing group of people who seem to crash ahead without taking on board the concerns of the community. It makes you wonder what their future agenda is. They have already proved that they will just do their own thing regardless of public concern.

George. Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I wonder just how many of the trustees of the Shetland Charitable Trust can define "Democracy", let alone spell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabug Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Why do they not just give us each our £10000 or what ever it is,and let us as all decide for ourselves how we want to invest or spend it , This would solve the problem once and for all. menkeeeaneahi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Why do they not just give us each our £10000 or what ever it is,and let us as all decide for ourselves how we want to invest or spend it , This would solve the problem once and for all. That was suggested by a sitting councillor waaaay back when the whole thing started. Trouble is, far to many other councillors thought that the idea of "the public" actually benefitting from oil was abhorrent as they all had little "pet" schemes that they wanted to finance.
