Defending an investment in fossil fuels is like defending the slave trade, an East Lothian councillor claimed this week.
Scottish Greens councillor Shona McIntosh made the comparison as she led a motion calling on Lothian Pension Fund to divest from oil companies.
And she was backed by fellow councillor and Young Persons Champion Brooke Ritchie, who told elected members some young people saw no point in having a pension because they did not believe their would be a future to invest in.
