| | The Scotsman - Fishing leaders' anger at SNP letter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | JOHN Swinney, the leader of the Scottish National Party, and Richard Lochhead, his fisheries spokesman, were last night accused of unprecedented political interference in the affairs of Scotland’s most powerful fishing organisation. |
 | | His accusations, vigorously denied by Mr Park and the association, are threatening to cause a major rift between fishermen and the SNP at a time when Scotland’s fishing industry is facing the most severe crisis in its history. |
 | | I believe Richard Lochhead’s letter is just the tip of the iceberg and I think you have to question the reasons for his intervention at this time. |
