If he were truly concerned about subsidies, and their payment for non delivery of contracted service, then he will switch his attention from the minor to the major.If he doesn't start investigating the Serco subsidy, and start posting on here on a regular basis about how much its costing the Caithness taxpayer to subsidise a ferry that doesn't run to Orkney, then we will know where his true colours lie. Heaven forbid, if he remains silent on the Serco subsidy racket, then it might even show that he is simply someone who doesn't like windmills, and all this "supporting evidence" is nothing other than bluster.I might even temporarily take him off the Ignore List to see what happens in the next, crucial, 24 hours!
