Anyone else think gorden Brown looks like the future scottish first minister

I had no time for him as pm , but no doubt he won the the battle for the UK

Edd millewatsit was hopeless as ever

But I think a man is lining up a future job would first minister Brown be a bad thing?

Love the comments from Brian Smith on the shetland times web site today

It proves the saying

It's best to keep your mouth closed and look an idiot , than to open it and dispell and doubt

At last it looks like we are seeing the snp smoke and mirrors I was thinking Alex would get to the end without showing his secrets

But if anyone thinks only a brass plaque will move down south and nothing else, they will think you can saw a lady in half

 

How many of the snp members turned up this week to vote on one of there favourite topic the bedroom tax

Was it 2 out of 6

 

According to the SNP there was no need for their MPs to be there as the bedroom tax is an English matter. The SNP has used the Scottish parliament's funds to abolish it in Scotland.

Love b Smith comments on a parliament voting

How many of the snp members turned up this week to vote on one of there favourite topic the bedroom tax

Was it 2 out of 6

And the last vote in the Scottish parliament was a vote on removing tridant

IF it was a yes vote ,so that was a vote for something that might never happen , no wonder 1 in 4 children are in poverty

Two lost chance for utopia two more

Well all this talk of default on the UK debts even Wonga won't lend Scotland money after these comments it shows the immaturity of the current Scottish government , if it is a yes vote the S.N.P will be found out no one in Westminster to hide behind , and blame for all the wrongs in the world , if it's a no vote you can bet every small issue will be someone else's fault or lack of powers

I can think of 25 million reasons and one  ,why a currency union won't work

25 million English Welsh and northern Irish citizens won't bail out a foreign country banks if the cash machines run dry would the Scots do the same if the situation was reversed 

And the one main reason is Alex salmon he would have to agree with very strict rules agreed  with the rest of the UK and that man would argue a badger was pink even if one was sat in front of him

Any way scotland is already threatening to default on it debts would you lend money to someone who said they may not pay you back its bonkers 

It's not project fear it's project we we will promise you the earth  ,just don't look down

Thanks benjiboy I've told my clan to stay away from it I may ask the council if they are aware of it hate to think something serious happened with kids on holiday 

its more than an eye sore pleased  I don't overlook it

Someone else has told me it was his latest raft maybe he's sailing away bigger islands to invade

HI does anyone know what and who is building something at longwell in cunningsburgh it looks  like it made from old pallets in the water , 

I had to warn some children from playing in it this morning it's looks like a bit of a death trap , worried it may hurt some young folk

Are more fancy picture painting , if anyone thinks a new country with no history of borrowing will pay the same as Germany is deluding themselves and others .

I don't think it will pay much more but even half of one percent will affect us

Then not one mention of Scotland having to borrow money from someone else but want to set up a oil fund 

Would anyone out there go to your bank manager and ask to borrow money every month to set up a savings account it's utter madness

And as ever if's it will just the same as before if we vote yes ,if so why vote yes?

I think that's a poor respond , I also think it will need many more millions pumping in to break even

Millions that would have helped poverty

Maybe use tax raising powers 3p in the pound would help 

Maybe use a rise in council tax  to help

Maybe reduce the r.e.t. to the isles

Maybe stop millionaires getting free prescriptions and university education

Maybe that whould have no one to blame  , wouldn't win votes 

Or buy loss making airports and then promise to increase revenues by improving the duty free offer

Oh and push for minimum pricing on alcohol

If in doubt blame Westminster

Does anyone know the history of Sinclair's yard in Fladdabister a small kale yard with stone dykes

Next to the old Sunday school

Try the catalogue company Very the just had a corner suite delivered to cunningsburgh for £6.95 

Very happy arrived in under a week also an American fridge freezer for same cost

Hi does anyone know a company that

does soakaway percolation tests

just heard Tavish on the radio wanting home rule for Shetland

is is the 1st of April early

he clearly isnt spending much time on the island lately

the council is spending silly even after a full year of cuts this year the overspend is the same as last

it takes years to decide if lights need turning off unless its road crossing lights then it takes years to repair

try dealing with the council

roads or planning takes an age folk deperate to hang on to jobs for a few more years

even the councillors cant find out what property they own and rents paid on them in under a year

surely that job need to go

we have someone paid to judge the impact of geese on carrots

yet disabled kids are suffering cuts

put shetland in charge of its banks

well folk will be stacked in cars outside cash machines to withdraw money

if so would the last person in shetland please turn out the lights

(just not streetlights we need more time and salary to think on that one)

Just burnt a paper from 13th jan 2012

page 7 is a great articile stating the sic new 1.1 million pound cable will be ready in weeks

from lerwick to maywick

capable of delivering 25mps download speeds

did this ever happen

was it money well spend

was it weeks as in more than 54 weeks

is this happening now and we are missing out

i remember being stuck behind the ditch witch for weeks

anyone know???

dont waste your time ring the roads dept

they are a law unto them self

ive never seen so may do so little for so few

a boys club

Hi does anyone know what hours the night rate charge for econ 7

im on econ10 that has different hours

40 jobs

how many staff what a joke

more non jobs paid by the council tax

if it cant run off its own back close it , the interveiw on the radio sounded like they were trying to push the council into a corner

well let hope they grow a set and push back

its only about money he`s only interested in not paying his way

he`s wont have to pay court cost after this loss

he wont pay car tax mot etc

even credit card debt`s

if he wont pay

then lets hope he wont use the nhs the roads and all the other things taxes pay for none of us like paying them but we have to

grow up stuart

does anyone know if the king of a unnamed island still has an elephant

i wont name him or the disputed island or this post may dissapear as well

[*** Mod Edit - to make a bit more sense ***]

good luck with building a new house and being a newcommer

this council is so anti deveolpment and if the name don`t fit

last year the roads dept was to busy with yarl squad planning to worry about pushing for development

planning officers are now quite they drag out simple plans to justify drawing a wage

and land even a a square foot of land is fought over by neighbours from miles away with fence posts drawn at noon

this council is cut 1st (but not staff they are 1 third voters)

blame others

oh should we think about growth?

look at battery powered ferries large up front cost windpower the charge of them

reduce the roads service and planning dept

both are overstaffed looking at the time and ammount of people its taken to ditch out around us

sub contract road works no Ni tax hols island allowance and no doubt twice the work done with half the workforce

reduce planning officers no more plans coming in for sheds small extentions etc they must be sat on their hands

stop posting skip lists in shops (stop flytipping from local handymen etc)
