This week Craig talks to Prof Richard Murphy about the agreement between the Scottish and UK Government's to create two "Green Freeports" in Cromarty and Forth. They discuss the origin of Freeports, their promises of creating "jobs" in the freeport area and how those promises often end up panning out.
