    Voters can easily sack any MP, at the next election.

    Farmers can't be sacked, they're getting plenty of subsidies which aren't based upon food production.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    I seem to remember a heck of a lot of bother to get rid of a local Sherriff a few years ago.

    the Scottish farmers subsidies are not being paid by the SNP government, they are holding them back.
    But I believe vegetarians need farmers to grow their food as well

    The SNP are not holding back the subsidies. And only about 10% of all subsidies go to food suitable for vegetarians.

    Turning up drunk is one of the few reliable ways to get sacked from certain well-known employers.

    Not all of them are, many farms are owned by business and put farmers in to run the show for them as employees
