Show time

SNP MP Angus MacNeil, never the shy, retiring type, took to Twitter last week to moan about how parking barriers at Edinburgh Airport were creating huge congestion for drivers trying to leave the facility.

But, not for the first time in his life, Mr MacNeil was then politely asked to get his facts straight when a member of the airport staff replied to point out the source of the congestion was in fact the neighbouring Royal Highland Show.

All a bit embarrassing, as Mr MacNeil who is the SNP’s rural affairs spokesman!
