Sark resident Kevin Delaney, who was formerly in charge of the billionaire Barclay brothers’ property portfolio in the island, has criticised the 22-strong group, including former Chief Ministers Frank Walker and Terry Le Sueur.
In February, representatives of the group, which wrote to the governments of the UK, Jersey and Guernsey calling on them to intervene to tackle ‘economic and fiscal problems’ in Sark, visited the island to meet its government, called Chief Pleas and Mr Walker was among the seven people on the visit.
Following that meeting Mr Delaney, the former head of Sark Estate Management and who writes the Sark Newspaper – which says it is ‘campaigning for the end of 450 years of feudal rule and for a fully democratic process of government’ – has hit out at the group and he describes them as ‘slavishly’ following the lead of Sark Seigneur Michael Beaumont and not seeking out their own facts.
