- HIAL May 2013 overall passenger numbers up 7.2% on 2012 but with some substantial falls
27% down – a shocking reduction , in large part down to the SNP’s heath service cuts , which mean more Kintyre patients are being put “round the road ” rather than the more acceptable air journey . Disgraceful . - 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 .

What a great idea! Let’s give all overweight people including myself a target of Referendum day to get down to a healthy weight.! a leaner Scotland is a wonderful prize.

Saint Andrews Day is a symbolic date for all Scots…… including those not supporting independence for Scotland.

David, St.Andrews day may be symbolic to some here in Scotland, and quite rightly so, however, it is in my opinion under celebrated for precicely the reason of us not being an Independent country. Sadly we seem get more celebrating of all things British rather than that of the very country we reside, a sad fact. This can be expected for many reasons but one which to me appears obvious is the lack of Scottish history in schools, no wonder some grow up with little or no sense of belonging.

Well done Bob, lets hope others are influenced and take your lead just like the party you and many others follow by pursuing and investing in clean renewable energy sources, ban on smoking in public places, free prescriptions for all etc etc. You seem to be doing a cracking job in Oban and need you in good health to continue your hard work with the ‘Yes’ campaign. Regarding the latest polls ife, cast your mind back to the Scottish elections, (SNP’s second term) when the SNP turned around a large percentage deficit in the polls leading up to the election, in fact they didn’t just turn it around they pulverised the other excuse for so called ‘for Scotland’ parties.

Great idea, because remember-
On referendum day, you will have the opportunity to choose the Scotland you want. If you vote No you will have that choice only once and then you hand the real decisions back to London..
If you vote YES you will have the chance to choose your Scotland, not only once, but again and again from then on.
Scotland will always be your choice.
Vote YES. It’s your Scotland for ever.
It’s your NHS. Forever
They’re Your Jobs. Forever.
They’re Your Schools. Forever.
It’s Scotland’s Choice. Forever.
