Comment posted on Helensburgh candidates putting the rules back by Stephen Mackenzie
So long as “illegal” doesn’t mean “everyone else’s”.

- Yes, Simon appears to have fallen into my troll-pit. Can I refer him to the sage advice of that great actor, Whil Wheaton?
FWIW, outside my polling station in Helensburgh today posters for Dance, Mulvaney and Robb, but not anyone else. Also bonus sighting of Mulvaney wandering down the street, looking a little lost.
(JOKE/SUBJECTIVE COMMENT)
- Pending the announcement of what constitutes an illegal election poster, a light-hearted post was responded to with a light hearted comment.
In future such comments will be marked JOKE, to help those with a irony deficiency.
Serious comments will be marked SERIOUS, to help those with a reality deficiency.

- A83 closed due to another landslide – now reopened
This is true; it was initially shown as a slip on Loch Fyne side just north of Inveraray.I note that TS are yet to master the spelling of the word “Arrochar”.
- A83 closed due to another landslide – now reopened
That photo looks like the slip is in a different place from normal. Can anyone confirm that? - A83: Is there a planning issue in Transport Scotland’s intent to revise the old military road below Rest and Be Thankful?
Is there a source for this story about naming the Rest? I was under the impression the naming was older than the era of the motor car…I once walked up the remains of the old road from Butterbridge, and it occurred to me that it would be a very worthwhile part of a long distance route/cycle route into Argyll.
- Transport Minister tells McGrigor A83 emergency route ready in November
Go for a walk… all you will hear in Glen Croe is traffic noise. And don’t forget it’s full of forestry. So it’s hardly unspoiled. So an appropriately designed road gallery would on the whole, be a benefit. I remain convinced that the best long term plan is to divert the trunk road away from that glen and that hill, though. - 10 Downing Street to fly Saltire with Union Flag tomorrow for Andy Murray

‘Illegal’ – needing planning permission? libellous? packed with porkies? – we need enlightenment.

Don;t know. Probably no more than exhausted campaigners throwing everything at it in the last day, with helpers who stick things up all over the place.

Is it fair to publish something that is only heresay about two candidates, whoever they are? If you don’t have a clue what has happened why bother saying anything – unless, of course, you have a personal bias.

See what happened there Lowry??
Newsie comes on with a non-story – non attributed, no quotes and no evidence. You ask a more than reasonable question and the next two posters – Crazy and Stepehen ignore your poiint and comment on the Newsie’s non-story.
Gawd help us all if these half-wit zealots get in…

The SNP must be better mannered in Helensburgh than they are in Kintyre as Unionist posters were ripped down there within hours.

Unionist posters?
What are those?
And does your correspondent, echoes of good old kintyre1, have any substantive evidence to support his implied charge?

It happens in the Dunoon and Cowal area also.
We know who does it but they come out with excuses like “do you have substantive evidence to support this implied charge” or “it wisnae me, a big boy done it and ran away”
But guess what? Their posters stay up!!!!

The fact that ” their ” posters remain untouched is all the evidence needed as to the culprits

No, Simon
That’s what Lowry meant.
Pay attention, please.
On second thoughts, the “Burn them!” should be deleted for Health and Safety reasons

Vivien Dance smiling benignly at the Princess Royal as both stood on the Victoria Hall steps, as seen on the front page of the Helensburgh Advertiser, when Mrs Dance had been explicitly banned from the property because of the election ‘purdah’ – how does that shape up with the rules?

Stpehen – but if you mark them JOKE – then they are supposed to be funny!!!
The ‘light-hearted post’ and ‘light hearted comment’ were about as funny as week in jail.
