Letters / Do you have no shame?

A message to the trustees of Shetland Charitable Trust prior to their hastily convened meeting on Monday 30 April:

“Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear”. (Jeremiah 5:21)

As a group, you are acting in an unseemly manner, without integrity or common decency. You discredit yourselves and those who support this project. Do you have no shame?

Like many others that you purport to represent, I urge you, as individuals, to salvage some dignity and walk out of Monday’s meeting, with your heads held high before it starts. Please do not remain at the table to be counted.

The decision to release more money to the VE wind farm project is morally no longer yours to take.
