I'm well up on this story re not paying out the EU farming subsidies to the farmers and there is definitely more to it than 'meets the eye'. Also the Scottish govt offered loans to the farmers to cover for this problem and 80% of the complainants took up that option. It's not a perfect scenario but it's not as though the Scottish govt did nothing to make up for this failure in delivery. I agree in the issue of sorting it and make it seamless in a political climate in which there are lotsa unionist people clamouring to criticise our government as much as they can and also demonise Sturgeon in the process esp during tight fiscal times when we're not exactly buoyant in economic terms and that's no thanks to UK govt policies either! Also don't be influenced by this constant political jibe of 'not doing the day job' FFS!!!!! You must be reading too many of the wrong newspapers or the constant unionist media barrage against the nasty anti-union SNP! The SNP govt and Nicola are indeed doing the day job in spite of the difficult economic climate/circumstances that we are living in and many critics seem to conveniently forget that because it does not suit their dialogue of constant mud-slinging that has been going on for a while!! Have you not noticed that constant media barrage with it's narrow agenda of LETS STOP ALL MOVES TO INDY REF 2 AND ULTIMATELY THE POSSIBILITY OF SCOT INDY!!! Unionist democracy at work eh - my erse!! The Scottish independence movement is 'alive and kicking' and no f###### wonder! As for voting Tory because Nicola made a rightful move to legitimise indyref 2 after being continually blanked on pragmatic moves to soften the brexit negotiations and even being involved in them!!???? A disgraceful Tory vote for that reason?????? F###### ridiculous and these c#### have already got a 'flavour' AGAIN of how we are regarded up here!!!
