Letters / Emma and the fishing industry

Last week the Lib Dem candidate Emma Macdonald, spoke about fishermen in a Facebook video post.

She said, ‘We must value them and must listen to them’.

Just a couple of days later, the SIC approved a plan for a large salmon farm, against the strongly expressed views of Shetland fishermen.

What role did Emma, as SIC leader, have in arriving at this decision?
