Dear All
After the big U turn on the EU by Scotland’s
unpopular First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, we have another U turn, or maybe we
should call it a ‘wee turn’.
Time for a quote by Alex Salmond:
“My problem is that I have too many
talented people and not enough Cabinet positions”!
The people of Scotland and of Raasay would
probably dispute that claim.
Scottish National Party is full of
talentless people.
It seems that after the SNP Government screwed
up, Raasay shooting and fishing rights have been returned to crofters, this
means they get back the lease to manage shooting and fishing rights on Raasay.
The rights were sold out from under them to
an Ayrshire company which sparked a row.
Does this mean an end to the farce of
standing up for Scotland?
No, the SNP Government will continue to use
that ‘gag’, always someone who is gullible in society.
The Scottish government had been accused of
behaving like an absentee landlord; the reality is they just didn’t care; now
the media is on the case, they do ‘care’!
Pathetic, another self inflicted wound,
brought on by sheer rank stupidty.
Announcing the U turn, First Minister Alex
Salmond told MSPs that the contract had now been withdrawn by mutual consent and
the crofters' lease would be extended for another year.
What was the pitch that the people best
placed to run Scotland are the ones who live here?
The Raasay Crofters' Association has
managed the lease for 18 years, after paying £3k, the company; South Ayrshire
Stalking will receive £9,000 in costs towards expenses already incurred.
Salmond said Environment Minister Paul
Wheelhouse would be meeting crofters on Friday.
Mr Wheelhouse said:
"Raasay is a fragile island community
and ministers recognise the sporting rights are very important to the
islanders. I share the concerns expressed locally about the way in which the
contract was awarded and will ensure, as I have indicated previously, that in
future appropriate ministerial consideration is given when such decisions are
being made. That is why I have taken steps to resolve the situation and I hope
the Raasay islanders will be content with this solution."
Didn’t appear to put much stock in their
opinions before stabbing them in the back tho!
