I have discussed the issue on several occasions with Margaret Smith, the local MSP, and I also discussed it recently with representatives of the society, whom I told quite clearly that if the showground is to stay where it is, I will not be unhappy.
That is double standards, it is rich and it is utter hypocrisy.I know that some MSPs took part this week in a special edition of "University Challenge".
The approach acknowledges the importance of a work-life balance—although many MSPs' families might think that we are the last people who should be lecturing anyone about that.
