Sutherland No More

Can this be serious - the Scottish Executive under the control of those who claim to understand our nation's history, are planning to give £10MYN of taxpayers' money to the family at the heart of the Highland Clearances? Salmond clearly has no sense of irony.
We also need a sense of perspective - no matter how fine a work of art the Titian is, in the current economic climate, what chance the Duke of Sutherland finding a buyer at any price let alone the fixed £50MYN he started off at - call his bluff and see if he can find a buyer on the open market.
Perhaps Eck with his two salaries could make him an offer?
