"Although Romano Valente has the same surname, he has no connection with our shop. If you go back three or four generations, there will have been cousins in some family tree, but he has never worked with us or been affiliated with our business. His father did have his own business in the town, but it was never any connection with us."
"Marco said he and Romano - whose father also previously owned a chip shop in the Fife town - were not related and any connection could have been eliminated with "very little research"."
"The flyer, which was later posted on Facebook by Marco, calls for customers to "bankrupt" Romano. It added they should "support other fish and chip bars" which were "inclusive of everyone"."
A flyer calling for a boycott targeted Valente's Fish and Chips in Kirkcaldy because one of the by-election candidates shared the Valente surname. The flyer urged customers to "bankrupt" Romano and to "support other fish and chip bars" described as "inclusive of everyone." Marco Valente said he and Romano are not related and any link could have been dismissed with "very little research." Romano's family previously owned a different chip shop in the town that was sold and became a kebab shop. The Glenrothes West and Kinglassie seat was won by the SNP candidate Zoe Hisbent.
