Comment posted Are we going to accept the death of the Argylls? by Lowry.
Thank you for your correction and, of course, you are right, some of the subsidies do come from our electricity bills however, are you saying that there’s no link to the government and the renewables subsidies?

- Well, if we suround it with wind turbines we are unlikely to atacked by an armada! Tiree should be safe.
- At risk of being accused of obsession with my objection to wind turbines, perhaps if the government stopped the rediculous subsidies to renewables (that we all pay for and which go to the rich), issues such as cuts in defence might be avoided. This is a service that we all need.

Agreed – I often find that some folk muddle UKIP with the BNP. - First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
However, sometimes they do go a bit wonky – I’ve seen them add several at one time and then on a couple of occasions they have subtracted ticks. It did happen last night. To be honest, I only see it as a bit of fun so don’t feel it’s anything to get worked up about. - James Robb, as the cordite clears
So, you condone a protest that required the police to protect someone; that person had to stay in a place of safety until a police van could provide transport; a taxi driver was unable to provide transport because of potential damage to his vehicle; and where two people were arrested.

The unfortunate thing is that uk plc is broke.
And sentiment has little room when there is no cash in the coffers.
We spend 25% of our GDP on welfare compared to 2.7% on defence. So it depends in what’s important to you?

What is unfortunate is the fact that Scotland has the UK
nuclear defense, and an extremely long coastline.
Neither of which are being properly defended.
I would say that should be of concern to Scotland!

Not much we can do about the long coastline . . .

Surely the biggest problem with the long coastline of Argyll is the threat if global warming leads to the sea level rising faster than the land itself is rising due to post-glacial pressure release; not just roads but towns increasingly at risk.

Lowry, you are obsessed with wind turbines
However, I will indulge you long enough to point out that the subsidies you so object to are in fact added to your electricity bill, not to your taxes.
I can’t see many people being happy with a ‘defence levy’ being applied to their utility bills, can you?

The Renewables Obligation is fairly complex – have a look at the Wikipedia entry for a brief explanation.

As an ex-resident of Argyll, who chose the Royal Marines ahead of the Argylls (they answered first!!), I think this government is taking the absolute p1sh with their cuts to the Armed Forces. They seem not to care about, not only tradition, which keeps young lads joining their local regiment, but also the future which will be bleak should we ever need our Army to do anything for our own country. There are Tory politicians spinning madly in their graves at this excuse for a Conservative government hacking at the fabric of our National existance. I blame the minority partner in this government. The Liberal tail seems to be wagging the Tory dog, while they try and sort the Labour mess out. Crikey what a mess.
