You have to ask would they still be there if they left the UK if not how would the 30,000 islanders (give or take a 100 or so) survive. The Shetlands, like the rest of Scotland is heavily subsidised by the rest of the UKs taxes
But the point is, if they had all those resources and independance
they wouldnt need to beg from uk RM !!

Sturgeon would be the bonus !!
The gas and oil reserves are running out Donks. What's left under the seabed up there are getting progressively much more expensive, difficult and dangerous to extract.

Once we kick the EU poachers out of the British territorial waters we will see the dish stocks recover.

So l believe Percy !
But l am sure the islanders could get by with just issueing
fishing permits to suitable applicants as Todger says as well
as administering the return of illegal migrants to their home
countries for uk and any other invaded country ??

I want to send the migrants to St Kilda not Shetland. Shetland's far too civilised for the likes of them.

There might be (it's been decades since I went to Shetland) but St Kilda is about 40miles off shore (and totally battered by any Atlantic storm that might blow up) so, once the boats have left, any one left on the island is as good as stranded there until they return.

Send them to the Isle of Man. They deserve each other.
