Although there is an argument that might look at some of Mr Seely’s points from a different perspective, overall, it’s clear he acknowledges and recognises the issues Islanders face with the ferry companies.
However, the first thing in Mr Seely's response that caught my eye was why Wightlink needed millions of pounds of public money to avoid bankruptcy?
I have looked at Wightlink’s accounts covering the past four years and they show over £59million net profit.
In the same period over £50 million (85 per cent of Wighlinks profit over the same period) was paid in dividends to Wighlinks parent company, Arca Shipping Limited.
