In reply to Nemo9:
It seems horribly wrong to me on a community level. While Skye gets more overcrowded with residents (and new homes) by the day, remote communities like Laggan struggle in particular for younger, energetic residents and children to fill the schools.
It would be easy to rail at the Border Agency. However, the family was offered an entrepreneur's visa and given every chance to make a go of their dream. It's not as though they were stopped at the border 8 years ago. It appears that, even after a considerable number of years, the key economic test of employment creation has been failed. Nevertheless, if Sturgeon wants to highlight this as a case of Westminster being unfit to govern Scotland, then I'd have to concur.
Do I think they should stay? Without a shadow of a doubt. At least on the basis of this admittedly one-sided report. Hopefully the publicity will help their cause.
