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

- Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
I doubt it very much too , however I don’t need any lectures on the working of small rural schools , having attended one for seven years .
While it is quite possible to have friends and work together happily with older and younger pupils , what happens when the child goes to Secondary School ? He/she goes alone not knowing anyone , is amongst people who have their friends of seven years and will forever be an outsider , is likely to be poor at team sports having never experienced a proper same aged team .
The parents opting to send their children to larger schools are doing so for the best of reasons and should not be judged for so doing . - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
Anne , I thought that living in Southend , you’d be more in touch with the goings on at the primary school .To talk of one parent and her child is either deliberately misleading or you are unaware of the children who will be absent from the school when it resumes after the summer .
Can you tell us out of interest , how many people are employed at the school and how many pupils there are at present ? I am told there are ten employees . - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
What’s the situation regards Southend Primary School ? see post above - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
Campbeltown is a buzz with the news that yet more pupils already attending and children due to start school at Southend Primary School this autumn are being placed at schools in Campbeltown by their parents .
It appears that an increasing number of parents in the Southend area are deciding that having their children in classes of one or two pupils is against the interests of their offspring and are voting with their feet .
How a community campaign to preserve the school can be successful when it cannot convince a growing number of parents in it’s own community to commit to it suggests that parents are doing politicians’ job for them and that the days of this school are numbered . - Auchindrain in crisis: facing paying off its two permanent staff
Can any funds be secured from Wind Farm Trusts in the vicinity ?
Asking businesses to contribute at this time of hardship is a big ask .
Can a sponsor be found , for example one of Argyll’s whisky distillers ?
Rather than taking school children on trips to Alton Towers and abroad , Argyll & Bute Council should be helping Auchindrain by supporting School educational trips to the township .

‘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.

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!!!!

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?

The ‘light-hearted post’ and ‘light hearted comment’ were about as funny as week in jail.

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.
