- Rustle with Russell
More utter rubbish from Lynda Henderson. Have you actually spoken to Bob Allen? Whoever told you the story sold you a pup and in your arrogance you cannot admit to be wrong so you make up this story that he was persuaded not to resign.Your position is completely untenable.

I’m afraid you condemn yourself by your own words. I don’t think that anyone reading what you have written here and the language you have used would conclude anything other than that you have a deep dislike for Mr Russell and that dislike is leading you to basically lose all sense of either proportion or impartiality. It doesn’t matter how well (or otherwise) you know Mr Russell you are clearly exercised by your interpretation of his actions and it is leading you well beyond the pale in what I would consider fair comment.This vendetta against Mr Russell and the SNP is destroying FA’s credibility and I have to confess that I’m seriously considering whether or not to continue reading FA (which will cheer Malcolm up if nothing else). I for one am becoming increasingly disenchanted by the constant negativity and sheer nastiness that has crept into this blog. I say that with a lot more sorrow than anger because I think that FA could have been great and indeed still could but there has to be a degree of balance, civility and indeed humour. All we are getting here is bile and it is causing me heartburn.

To be honest, this post clearly shows that you are speaking from your personal dislike of Mr Russell rather than an unbiased analysis of the man. Phrases such as “publicity hungry coward” are well beyond what is reasonable comment. - Russell back in the bathtub, now trying to sink Keith Brown’s boat
You don’t seem to understand the separation of a MSP’s duty to his or her constituency and their responsibilities as a Government Minister.Yet again, this is another instance where a member of the Government can do no right: speak up and be condemned as “desperate” or stay silent and be accused of not serving your constituents’ interests.
It is just as well that Mr Russell has broad shoulders!

Ron “Managing decline has to end” oh c’mon. It is your SNP Government that passed these cuts on direct to local councils!!!
If “managing decline ” has got to end – then we need a change of govt at national level…

Where do you think the devolved government receives its cash from?
Its not a change of government that we need but a change of level.

Amen to that. The upside to Ron not getting in is that he can focus on getting back to full health and I am pleased for him that his place representing the ward as been taking by a fellow SNP councillor. I think it is safe to say that Ron will still be active for the SNP across Argyll and also at a local level.
Irrespective of political allegiance it would be nice to think that everyone recognises that this has been a sad year for local politics with the loss of councillors from the SNP and the Lib Dems – with that in mind I wish Ron the very best of recoveries.

Best of luck with your future endeavours. Without doublt one of the hardest working councillors In Argyll. ABC will miss your expertise but I am sure the SNP group will be on a mission to turn round this failing council.

Dunoonmum – Actually I’m quite happy to foxtrot oscar – my man got in
But you ! Happy are you with (what Dave McEwan Hill called) the toy boats?
Is that evidence of the SNP in action?
Lowering the standards???
Reneging on election promises?????
Why not ask Dave?? (if he’s not barred…)

The fact that the SNP actually lost four candidates – three of them sitting councillors – in the run up to this election makes the result – the highest number of SNP councillors ever in Argyll and Bute – very credible indeed. You will meet very few people as dogged and determined as Ron Simon and he surely will be back!
Barred from what, Simon? Ladbrokes. Never!
