As a Shetlander living on the mainland the SIC looks like a ship without a rudder and there seams to be no limit on which the council are willing to waste money. closing schools, reducing ferry time tables, etc. How long could, for an example the primary schools that are closing run with a budget of £7.2 million? There are people who have lost their jobs for less than who ever is to blame for this. Shetlanders get these people to stand up and be accountable for their massive blunders, they shouldn't be in office, will they be part of the £33 million needing to be saved..........no they'll be telling you its you thats going to suffer. No inquiry into the loss of £7 million of public money it just aint right!

The warranties on the turbines would be Provens responsibility. If you bought a new Ford Mondeo from Jim's and something went wrong with it who is liable? Jim would pursue the claim through Ford. It is unfortunate that Proven have gone burst and with it any liability to honour the warranties. This had nothing to do with Michael it was Nevis who pulled the plug on it all. I would imagine Michael has been trying to come to terms with seeing his business broken up and the best of it being sold off to companies on the mainland, him being left the crang to pick over. It remains to be seen what his plans are but i wouldn't be so quick to judge.
