It's pretty sad that the Executive are still considering this proposal, or, more accurately, pretending it's nothing to do with them. It shouldn't take all these people ringing the hotline: the Forth is already known to be an incredibly valuable natural habitat (Bass Rock bird colonies, anyone?).

The proposal to spill, sorry, trans-ship, oil in the Forth doesn't even bring any jobs into Scotland, it just saves the oil companies one day's transit and makes Forth Ports a bit richer.

The feeble and absurd Ross Finnie should get his finger out and do something about this before he gets turfed from office.

Well said Ted!

Aye, about right Ted. On the importance of being ernest one must have the ability,integrity and the resources to be so.Finnie, the Fibdems and oor Labour executive appears to be somewhat lacking in those departments.Maybe we would be better off writing to the queen or better still Charlie. Something about ownership of the foreshore I believe.
It is unbelievable that this executive sitting in Holyrood cannot command authority on a stretch of water that practically laps against their own doorsteps.
A clear case of our representitives absolving themselves of their responsibilities again .

Small -time crooks , out of their depth

The Forth Port board members and various council officials should do very well out of it!

Or is that too cynical!!!!

Hey AJ

Hullo Steve,

The pub is looking swish, but is more of a restuarant type of thing. P*shing yersel at the bar isnae tolerated onymair!!

How's the campaign going? What did you think of Christopher Smout's comments the other day?
