Letters / Be wary, Shetland

I have just watched the documentaryYou’ve been Trumped about the destruction of environmentally unique sand dunes for the construction of some golf course and housing complex in Aberdeenshire.

I was struck by the similarity of language used by the developers to justify this outrage with the uttering that have come from the Viking Energy mob.

Be wary Shetland. Be wary!
