Island council leader cites ‘deep cultural relationship’, as authority considers a report looking at status of Channel Islands and Faroes
Do you have any concrete criticism of the Orkney council? If their fundamental complaint is neglect (evidenced by low per-capita funding relative to other island governments) then it hardly makes sense to blame that on Orkney.
They have chosen to use a populist message.
So I assume they share the same traits as other populists. Populists never believe in the cause, only self enrichment.
They by design don’t understand why things are structured and done the way they are because it undermines their simplistic message. “It would all be fixed if we just did x, or got rid of y”
They all seem to rely on culture wars "x group gets more than you, z are trying to stop, etc…).
So I assume if the council are using a populist message they have messed up and seeking to escape blame and maybe get something on the side.
