- Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
Maybe that one was a multi-tasking oozlum bird. - Argyll and Bute Council: Where are we now?
Why do you assume that ‘anyone’ was voting for a political party, rather than for their best local representative? Isn’t that a major factor in the current mess? - Big welcome at Campbeltown for new Ardrossan ferry
I wonder if there’s scope for WCM to extend any bus routes that could be deemed to ‘connect’ to the ferry terminal – the current (traditional) Campbeltown bus terminal seems to be conveniently located for the buses but less so for many of the passengers, let alone anyone using the new Ardrossan / Arran ferry link.. - Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
Surely party politics are national politics, dealing with national issues, and as such can often get in the way of resolving the local authority issues that councillors are elected to deal with. - Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
Thinking of ornithological similes, the behaviour of the Argyll & Bute body politic brings to mind the story of the fabled Oozlum Bird – the one that flew in ever decreasing circles…..

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

WCHB – Are you sure you didn’t mean “Hearsay! Hearsay! Burn them! Burn them!”????

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

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.

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.
Have a good day

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.
