Comment posted Scot Heather Stanning in Team GB’s first gold medal by newsroom.

The Scottish Government has claimed her here – http://www.sisport.com/sisport/7330.html – as ‘a Scot who has made onto Team GB for London 2012′.

We have made inquiries and found that Heather Stanning has lived in Lossiemouth in Moray since she was something like ten years of age and is happy to be seen as a Scot.

• Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
  We have heard from two highly credible sources this morning that Councillors Gordon Blair and Robert E MacIntyre [Bute] have now resigned from the SNP – but we cannot ourselves understand quite why these two councillors would have done so.
  Both are in the ‘Russell camp’.
  It is inconceivable that they would have fallen out with their principal.
  So, if this information is correct, what’s the move about – because it will be one?

  The information is not unconfirmed. It is utterly authentic.
  The venue was in Lochgilphead and yes, we admit to being more concerned with the content that the venue.
  This does not mean that you are wrong – and there is indeed an additional interest in the session being held outside Kilmory.

  Duplicate salaries would not be possible within the rules.
  This would be a matter of sharing the leader’s salary three ways for the duration of the triumvirate.
• NOW – 21.00: BBC 2′s ‘Town’ with Nicholas Crane visits Oban
  Wasn’t it fantastic – history – and with Catherine Gillies at Dunollie as mercifuly crisp as a brandy snap; the entrepreneurial spirit; the landscape; the seascapes; the island connections; the uniquely beautiful waterfront location that actually addresses its waterfront; the thrilling, mad and testosterone-packed outdoor activities born from the natural resources of a place like this; the masculine industry at Glensanda; the great food; the great music….
  Now it all has to be made to be true all of the time.
  There was that honest and fundamentally worrying glance at the shops for sale and to let, the shabby properties… and we all know there could have been more of this.
  But this programme reminded us all of the core value to Argyll of the unique asset of Oban.
  The warmth of the programme should not make us complacent that all is well with Oban – but absolutely determined to get it up to speed and keep it developing.
• Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
  The SNP group are clearly unable to progress what they had already agreed at the earlier meeting on 16th May. All of them seem to be totally unable to agree to anything. “Impotent’ gets nowhere near the reality.
  The paralysis bears witness to the situation we have already published – that the SNP party now requires its councillors to submit their intentions in advance for signing off [or not] by either the local MSP or an NEC member – and the SNP Constituency Association Convener.
  The minutes also bear witness to what we said this morning – that they were squabbling amongst themselves and getting nowhere.
  What no one could have imagined – nor would we have dared to publish it – was that we would be getting a New Way hydra as leader.
  A triple headed short term leadership with three very different heads – Duncan MacIntyre, Michael Breslin and Vivien Dance.
  Did someone say something the other day about popcorn and a seat in the front row?
  The difference between the clued up and the clueless revealed in these minutes could not be sharper – and the frustration of the clued up is manifest.
  It’s dreadfully funny – but you have to feel real sympathy for Councillor Walsh. Follow him through the minutes and you get the picture.
