Spot on, during the Jubilee the Republicans joined hand in hand with in happiness & unity. Don’t know where you were in this country (Scotland) but here in Dunoon you were very lucky or unlucky depending on your viewpoint if you clocked a small red white and blue streamer fluttering from someone’s door handle or the odd elipse of bunting. Apologies if you are posting this from England or Northern Ireland as they appear to favour this abhorent circus and obviously brought people together in happiness and unity.

• Regrettably we do have a mindless anti-English element who give the rest of us here in Scotland a bad name. Thankfully they are well and trully in the minority and hopefully will remain so. It’s all very well having a bit of sporting rivalry and friendly banter however, when it descends into nasty insults or verbal abuse simply because of your country of birth then this is very disappointing. This said, waving the National flag of your country be it England, Scotland, Wales or N.Ireland I don’t think should ever be deemed inapropriate or merit disdain.
• Intolerence? Not at all, simply a point of view shared, I’m sure, by many many more in Scotland. The Olympic flame, yes probably bring sections of communities together, sport tends to do this. When the comparison to the Golden Jubilee was made by Islay for ever I am sure I was not alone in noticing the lack of enthusiasm north of the border, wonder why?

• Argyll and Bute Council: Where are we now?
  Well said Archie r.e Hall, Breslin, Blair and MacDonald.

  There are some genuinely decent councillors who can hold their heads up high in all of this.
  It has to be a concern that those with real integrity, those who have the interests of the people who elected them and for the betterment of the communities they reside, those who choose to put these very interests before personal financial and/or positional political gain do not get that disheartened that it stifles their potential.
  I genuinely fear some of the less experienced, the new kids on the block could get utterly sickened through witnessing the actions of the few, the egoists the plunderers and who could blame them.

  Great pity the actions of the many are being judged by the actions of the few.

• New SNP group leader unable to keep the sheep in the pen
  Like your tedious disingenuious Americanisms after each post haven’t we seen these very same observations in your posts?
  How many times now have you typed up this list before, did you just copy and paste?
  Now, we can all if immature enough to, highlight others grammar and punctuation but as you say lets leave that behind, a wee bit boring eh?
  Finally, where in my posts have I accused you of “lying”?
  The issue I had with your views are clear, nothing to do with lies, nothing to do with competency in what they deliver to date, just your suggestion that these deficiencies, call them what you will, are endemic therefor don’t vote for an independent Scotland as this is what you’ll get.
  “I’m waiting (yawn yawn)” There you are, 30 mins, is this quick enough a response for you?
  Hope, if content isn’t, my grammar is at least up to your standard in this one.

  So this is where your at Simon

  “Have the SNP shown, by example, that they are no longer a party of protest but a party that is unified and capable of governing Argyll and well as they would govern Scotland?”

  Don’t vote ‘Yes’, an independent Scotland will be run just like the SNP run Argyll.

  FFS, what kind of arguement is that?
  What have you got to say about the SNP’s performance first and second term in Holyrood? Noticed you only cited a small elected group in one region of this country to suggest this is how an independent Scotland would be. I don’t mind for the squillionth time reminding you lot that a proper Scottish Labour party, Scotland focused Tory pary etc etc will as well as the SNP have Scotland’s interests at heart if ‘Yes’ is successful in 2014.
  ” imagine if you had voted for them – what an embarrassment.”
  Well I and many like me did in two successive Scottish elections, not in the slightest embarrassed.

  We get the same garbbage here in Dunoon, “If they cannae run a ferry service how can they run a country” You know, good, level, well thought out, rational comparisons!

  If this new, partially inexperienced administration in Kilmory were ticking over like a well oiled machine delivering good steady local governance, which they are not for the time being, not for one single second would I expect you, Newsroom and those with other political leanings to endorse anything the SNP delivered locally or let alone nationally but we’re well used to this.

  “Two SNP councillors, not the sharpest”

  On what grounds do they merit this description?

  The SNP councillors have been condemned from pillar to post for not doing what is best for the electorate in this fiasco instead accused of prioritising self interest, yet the decisions of two to co-operate for the greater good is viewed as a decision made by “not the sharpest” of individuals.

• First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
  If come independence our Welfare/Social security is to be exploited by as you predict “the creep north” we would no longer rely on another country reforming it to discourage.

  As things stand being on benefits and work is a close call for some and will continue to be until as fairer system is brought in.

  Voting ‘Yes’ gives the people who live here in Scotland that choice.
