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.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
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.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.

- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
