Let's see what the courts make of their trial . They are total scum if they are proven guilty . Trouble is these scum make us even more cynical when press conferences are given seeking public sympathy

Innocent till proven guilty , but why did it take 7 polis to arrest him at 630 still a waste of the taxpayers money two could have done it not 7

Well HNigel is not going to Liverpool as Rodgers has been appointed , Breaking News on BBC

SNP have lost the plot with giving the ferry service to Serco. The Natives up here are very angry especially with them cutting the mid day sailing from stromness to scrabster. and changing fares un les you book well in advance

I see he has been arrested and taken to Glasgow But why did it take 7 polis to travel to london stay in hotels and arrest him. Im sure if he was asked he would have gone without the hearvy police presence. What a waste of Tax payers money

They may be innocent. but who can forget Karen Mathews (who now wants to go on the jeremy kyle show and take the lie detector test . And the other arseoles who plead for someone to come forward and then it turns out to be the pearent or someone close to the family who were responsible. Look at ian huntly soaking up the media attention. That gu needs to be executed

Its interesting the the police have said they have arrested the parents. They could easily have questioned them at any other time or under oath. maybe the police use that terminology re arresting somebondy when they havent got a clue who actual did it. Helps to show they are being proactive in the case Up here the police always put things on the orcadian website asking for witrnesses etc to various types of crime translated in the community means the polis havent got a clue who was responsible. Unless your caugt driving a couple of miles over the speed limit or not put on your seat belt in a car park before driving off

Ah Yes that wonderful celebrity Mick Philpott he of Jeremy Kyle fame etc I was just reading someposts about him and his misses and how terrible sad for them a few days after the fire. If it was them then they need to rot in hell but if it is not then the police will come in for a lot of criticism if they are found innocent. Still no smoke without fire as the saying goes RIP peace the wee children that perrished in that awful fire

some views from Shetland The SNP haven’t thought this out and so have vague answers on important issues like the currency we would have; the position of our armed forces; what happens with embassies; and the share of oil revenues we would get. Braveheart nationalism is no alternative to the security we get by being in the UK. An independent Scotland would spell economic disaster for Scotland and Shetland because our country lacks the economic means to survive on its own. The fact is that it was Westminster that bailed out our Scottish banks and saved us from the experience of Iceland and Ireland. Shetland’s future is best served by the continuation of the Union and if Salmond ever did win I would worry about the centralising plans of the SNP, which would be against Shetland’s interests. On the other hand I would not like the SIC to have more powers as their track record proves they are incapable of handling more power. An independent Orkney or Shetland is a fantasy and hardly worth taking seriously. Nobody believes it would work and why should Orkney and Shetland go it alone when other parts of Scotland cannot? On Scottish independence I would say it is not a viable path for Scotland to take, and certainly not at this time of economic instability. It’s hard to see how the markets could favourably view an independent Scotland which has lost any say over sterling and is no longer part of a union that has been beneficial. It is irresponsible of the SNP to try to introduce such a radical and far reaching change to the running of the country at a time when we should be focusing on recovery as part of the union. While Scotland is capable of being independent, why risk an uncertain future as we can continue where we are with support from the rest of the United Kingdom? It was shown in the banking crisis that Scotland does need help in some situations as Westminster had the resources to bail out Scottish and other banks, with the result that nobody lost their savings. Going for independence is a risk which could fail, leading Scotland to being economically damaged in the future. If independence does fail we cannot go back and people should remember this when they cast their votes in 2014. If Scotland does become independent there will be a government in Edinburgh with local councils all over the country. Shetland should not seek independence, nor gain any more financial power as we have spent a lot of money on various projects that have not come about – the Bressay bridge and the new AHS to name a few. Some people seem to have forgotten that England helped us with the Treaty of Union as our economy wasn’t doing well with the failure of the Darien scheme. It’s being suggested by the SNP that we turn our backs on 300 years of history and also our identity as Great Britain in the modern world. Losing this will take away much of our influence globally. I think that Shetlanders should vote no to independence in the referendum. If Scotland was independent it would probably need to increase taxes to maintain this standard of living in a smaller country. For Independence

If Scotland become independent there wli be loads of Scottish mps that will be made redundant from Westminster . Including Alistair Carmichael . The last labour cabinet were predominantly Scottish I'm not sur how many of the current cabinet are Scottish

Salmons has said very little on what he will do apart from suggesting there will be tax increases up here and a year or so ago he mentioned the armed forces . He wants to pull every Scottish soldier out of afghan . He will have small Scottish airforce army and navy . He hasn't said how this will be achieved as many scits are equally dispersed across all areas of the armed forces . Likewise English in Scottish regiments . Does he sack all non scots in Scottish regiments . As for airforce he said a. While ago he wanted to keep all 3 air bases open but has now referred to only having one airbase . Shetland and Orkney do not see them selfs as part of the process but there is a small nucleus of snow supporters around the Orkney candidates have very little respect

I have heard strong rumours that Michael Appleton has been approached to takeover Saints I cannot name names but they are people in the know. See how easy it is to spout of false crap rumours. I dont go with the theories that Nigel is about to be sacked nonsense. If there was any truth do you think NC would keep him at saints during the close season What utter tosh is being spouted

The y have such a diverse range of talent This is from 1965 http://youtu.be/TAOLl2KeTsA

RIP Robin. For me the Bee Gees singularly and individually were the more were tthe best musicians and songwriters of their time. Like Saints are a passion to me so were the Bee Gees. Sing a song for Markus for me Robin while your up there

I have lost the plot on this but is it legal for chanrai to get away with this ?

Johny love . constructive dismissal is hard to prove in the world of employment law. If your employers behaviour isunreasonable and that they have in effect brokewn the trust between you and them that it forces you to resign , then yes you certainly would have a case Theywould need to give you contractual notice of changes to salary etc etc the can not arbitarily change it

Just seen the original posters post. Minty and CB have covered a lot of the salient points. with out knowing the status of yoiur contract and salary grades its a bit difficult to give you full advice. Are you in the private or public sector? There maybe sound reasons for salary differences . length of service in position etc. it may well be illegal tombletomble. as for saying that you are having a disciplinary hearing and you are being sacked. is just not on. They are duty bound to give you appropriate notice minimum of 7 days and the right to be accompanied. I hope there was a withness to the conversation . as a manager cannot make such threats especially pre empting any disciplianry. PM if you need any further guidance or you want to advise me of the specifics and I will advise you accordingly

Divided / three camps when there used to be just one. such is democracy I guess. We never had party politics all independant now thats not the case

I always suspected that councillors have been corrupt in some form or another . Today I had it confirmed and we are stuck with a fractured council for the next 5 years . Such deceict . Also snp have got in through stealth by posing as independent councillors

How do you do sign language on this forum ?could be anything see your audiologist

If another thread is anything to go by he's going to Liverpool

Where does dune get this **** . Ahhhh I forgot the Fabian society

What a load of bollixs . Nige is going nowhere

9 including the triple crown

I'm in the pub writing my post kraken. Just trying to stimulate debate . This Liverpudlian was saying he would be their ideal manager . I told him politely not an effing chance .
