Anyone living on Sark who received the letter below which was last week posted to every home on the island from four long standing older members of the community would have to had possessed a heart of stone not to have hung their heads and wept. Forget the Sark Newsletter and its comparisons to 1930’s Germany. We are witnessing scenes more reminiscent of America during the great depression. These men will be known to many Guernsey visitors to the island. I apologies to them for highlighting their plight here but ask who the hell is listening to the needs of working men and women of Sark? Whilst Charles Maitland, Paul Arditti, Jan Guy, David Synott, Dave Melling, Rosanne Guille and others are only too happy to appear on Panorama for “the cause” and to continue to play loose with Sark’s economy, those that need to work to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table are suffering because of the warped ideology that these big fish in a little pond are pursuing for “the cause”. Grow up, all of you, and face up to the fact that you are not only destroying people’s livelihoods, you are destroying people’s lives. THE PEOPLE WHOSE NAMES APPEAR BELOW HAVE GIVEN MANY YEARS TO BEING PART OF THE COMMUNITY OF SARK. WE HAVE VARIOUSLY BEEN MEMBERS OF CHIEF PLEAS AND APPEALS TRIBUNALS, CONSTABLES AND MEMBERS OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICES. WE HAVE BEEN PART OF NUMEROUS FUND RAISING PROJECTS, AND IN SHORT, HAVE BEEN USEFUL MEMBERS OF THE GREATER SARK FAMILY. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN OUT OF WORK BEFORE, AND NEVER EXPECTED TO FIND OURSELVES IN THIS POSITION. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO HAVE WORK DONE, PLEASE CONSIDER THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW, WHO HAVE ALREADY GIVEN YOU 183 YEARS OF THEIR LIVES.
