  • McGrigor writes to Minister on Campbeltown Hospital
    Correction – It was SNP councillors who were “happy” for Struan House to close , not me.
    I think it is insane to reduce the facilities to care for old people when their numbers are increasing and set to increase much more .
  • McGrigor writes to Minister on Campbeltown Hospital
    Thank goodness we have one MSP willing to speak up for the Kintyre community .
    ‘Local’ MSP Michael Russell has been nowhere to be seen on these issues .
    It’s past time Argyll & Bute had a MSP to fight for the constituency not one who spends his well paid time trying to destroy the United Kingdom .
  • Argyll and Bute Council Coalition Cup 2013: runners and riders
    Has jockey Donald Kelly given up trying to ride two horses at once ?
    Elected as a Conservative & Unionist he prefers now to be known as Argyll First .
  • First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
    The issue is not whether people like Nigel Farage , the issue is whether we live in a country where we have free speech .
    Clearly , there are people in Scotland , in this case left wingers who support separation who believe their opponents should be silenced by violence if necessary .
    Worrying and disgusting as that fact is , the most disturbing aspect of this episode has been the response from what could be called the establishment in Scotland .
    The First Minister , other MSPs including all the SNP MSPS ,Green MSP Patrick Harvie , BBC Scotland , Scottish Socialists and too many others have failed completely to defend the right of an individual to free speech against the threats of a mob . Indeed , some have clearly relished the fact that an Englishman got roughed up in broad daylight in one of Scotland’s main public spaces .
    Sadly we are all the losers . Many like our friend above will now see Scotland as a place to avoid , as an inward looking anti English intolerant land .
    Representatives and supporters of the Conservative Party in Scotland have long had to suffer personal abuse , threats and intimidation from these sorts of people and now it appears as if the terror has spread from attacks in cyberspace and on the Conservative Party to anyone who dares to challenge the Tommy Sheridan view of how Scotland should be .
    Perhaps we should not be surprised when we have a so called Justice Minister who openly flouted the law over the Community Charge . When Ministers start choosing which laws to obey then the future for our country is bleak and a wave of emigration the likely outcome if they were ever to achieve their ambition of a one party state .
  • Council latest: meaning well is not enough
    Who can forget all the talk of the “progressives” gaining control of Argyll & Bute after the last local elections .
    It appears to me , rather than progress the area is going backwards at speed .

  2. OK the Catholic Church has a lot of money – mainly fixed capital. But the UK spends $15 billion EVERY year on Trident weapons which will never be used. Luckily the gaining of Independence by Scotland will see the end of that and Scotland, and EWNI, can subscribe a good part of that to reduce child hunger and death – now there’s a good cause. After all, our contribution to aid for the World, when we make the 0.7% of GNP which we have promised, only amounts to 1.6 Billion dollars.
