Comment | You've made up criticism from hypothetical people with your "damned if they do, damned if they don't" argument, and completely disregarded reality - there are dozens of shipyards with competent management all over the world that manage to turn a profit, in some cases enormous profits. If they had to absolutely buy the yard then they should have poached someone from one of these businesses.
If the yard was going under then they should have let it, the Scottish government isn't and shouldn't be in the business of ship building. Wasting hundreds of millions of pounds that could have been better spent on other projects to benefit more and for a greater public good than the 300 whose jobs were temporarily (that yard will close as soon as the ferries are out) saved at Ferguson's to score political points with Glaswegian working class voters was utter folly. |
