Shetland is the New Scotland

Coincedently, having just taken an idle interest in how the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands became Scottish, a news item appeared today, regarding a guy nicknamed Captain Calamity who is insisting Scottish law has no jurisdiction in Shetland.

He's campaigning for Shetland and Orkney independence (although he comes from Essex) and seems to carry a deep distrust of the EU (well, you can take the man out of Essex...).

Here's his website.
