Time will tell on this one ,but Mr Wiggins you was in a group that was trying to buy the port ,so you was wrong on that one ,and I do not agree with most what you are saying . I said you still support that group and what it stands for and you have just said that in your post.We have had many a talk on this one and will never agree,The good thing is if you get to sit on the D.H.B. you can only put a view over which I know will be your own anyway.Also I do not agree you should get paid a wage for being there, it should be unpaid.

I can confirm the accuracy of every word of Neil's above post. In particular, DPPT wanted to buy the port, not sell it off; but only to keep it in community hands if the DHB persisted in its attempts to sell it.

Sorry but you would see it that way ,what you are saying is yes in one hand we want to buy it, and in the other you are saying not to be sold off,you cannot have it both ways .I do not blame Mr Wiggins for putting his name forward I would have done the same thing my self in his shoes ,it was the bad handing the way the D.H.B. let him in ,I think I know why they done it that way,by taking Mr Wiggins on ,it would keep him from talking out against any moves the D.H.B. wished to make ,but it back fired on them .
And Mr Garstin even if you had got the port it would not have been in the community hands but in the hands of the companys that loaned you the cash in the first pace. So it was a no win in any way you look at it.

For goodness sake give it a rest Vic. I hate typing this but to put it bluntly in my opinion you are now quite simply making a fool of yourself which is a shame.

No need Vic. You are welcome in our pub any time and I celebrate the fact that we can remain friends in spite of our disagreement over the port.
