Sovereign Shetland

The Viking Energy project is dead. If we want more money in the economy, we should stop giving the UK government £76 million per year to spend on illegal wars, the bottomless corrupt cesspit of the EU, MPs’ expenses, high speed trains, Trident – the list goes on.

If you want: half price petrol and diesel, 20 per cent less for goods and services, fair money with interest-free loans and mortgages, fair banking, direct democracy with real and instant control over our politicians and the budgets they spend on our behalf, it’s all possible with The Sovereign Nation of Shetland – www.sovereignshetland.com.

The first step – DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTE. Go to the ballot box with a felt tip pen, put a line through the boxes and write SNS across the candidates. Spoiled papers will be counted.

Orkney voters do the same – this is not just about Shetland.
