This is insanity! Just look at the numbers, £183m to build. It's quick to say like that, maybe we should write it like this for more impact. £183,000,000.00 “Could” generate £6m a year in revenues....it won't so let's pretend it stays the same. "Economic contribution" is a vague way of expressing it anyway. So is this £1.3m profit for the harbour? £1.3m turnover for the harbour, OR is the £1.3m as I suspect from the wording £1.3m currently spent in our economy from cruise ship passengers a year? If it's the first option then assuming no other costs, staff, bills, or maintenance (although no maintenance I could believe...........) then it will take over 140 years to pay for itself – in other words it never could, would be condemned as in need of replacement well before then. If the figures are actually turnover or money spent in the wider economy then it would take hundreds or thousands of years to see a return. Once again I can only conclude that the people that have bought this laughable scheme to the table are idiots. What makes me really angry though is that even if this gets thrown out, then just getting this far and bringing the report to the states has already cost us millions. The harbour master is on record comparing the wider scheme to Genesis in the bible! Where do we get these power hungry lunatics from? When are our elected representatives going to start reining in those they are supposed to be in control of? No more consultants and their fat fees for schemes we don't want!
