Letters / Perplexing

I saw that Emma Macdonald has claimed that she contributed to the discussion at the recent connectivity forum about Shetland losing its internet connection.

I was at the well-attended public meeting in Islesburgh and sat a few rows behind her. She never said a word.

Several folk commented on this at the time. For someone who is wanting to be our MSP, her sitting in silence at such an important event is perplexing to say the least.

For her to then claim she contributed to the debate is simply not true.
