Letters / ‘Do a Tavish’
I find it quite strange that Theo Smith took umbridge at my obviously ‘skympy’ letter (‘Diasappoined‘, SN, 19 Sep 12, and ‘You cooldna mak it up’, SN 18 Sep 12).
However I do seriously find it very worrying that some Shetland Charitable Trust trustees – Theo among them – are naive enough to even think that Viking Energy gives a damn about people who will be affected by the wind farm.
Manson’s statements prove this.
When SCT in their wisdom awarded VE their final £6.3million demand, they ‘slippit da tedder’.
Theo’s contribution to that decision was to ‘do a Tavish’.

Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
