Theres one thing that politians fear more than anything else and that is democracy. Even Tavish doesnt want a referendom on Scottish independance. They are terrified to bring in PR in England because the BNP will probably hold the balance of power. And how many countries in the EU would have ratified the Lisbon treaty had they given thier citizens a vote ?. Not many would be my guess. Gordon Brown believed in it so much he couldnt even bring himself to sign it with the other leaders. It is a total disaster for our fishermen and a betrayal of our country. David Camerons U turn is probably even worse than Gordons lie. And finaly to suggest that we wouldnt know what we were voting for is an insult to our intelligence .

A Whalsay skipper said to me years ago If you have no boats atall youll get a pier right away. Nothing has changed. There are other places where a pier is needed long before Fetlar. Mid yell , Collafirth needs more berthing space urgently and Ronas voe . All these places are a hive of activity and in Ronas voes case there is no safe berth between Collafirth and Westburrafirth . Probably one of the most exposed pieces of water on earth. The SICs policy seems to be if there is a genuine need for infrastructure of any kind then you have no chance of it ever being built.If there are any SIC officials reading this and I hope there are If you want to know why the shetland public think you are useless.I will give you one example. If you drive from VOE to LERWICK there is an empty car park at every junction you pass except one .Sandwater the one with all the cars parked at it. I rest my case.
