Comment posted Statement from Ron Simon by Simon.
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…)
In your own time mum….

- 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…

H20 – are you the same H20 that on Cowal Courier is calling for Cllrs McCuish, Robb and Semple to be removed from the SNP for ‘bringing it into disrepute’???So, the SNP’s Civil war and personalised attacks on fellow SNP ‘colleagues’ is still going well then???
Mmmm?
- New SNP group leader unable to keep the sheep in the pen
Well if this is all idle gossip what’s the real story then?Peace has broken out and the SNP are all unified once again?
You have a(nother) Leader you can all unite around?
There will be no more factionalism?
You will work for the benefit of the people rather than yourselves?
you will no longer sneak-off to the media leaking stories against your particular SNP colleagues/bogeyman or bogeywomen or describe in the press your fellow SNP Cllrs as “traitors” and “duplicitous” ?
Any of that true??
Or are you like Anne are you just claiming to be in the loop ??
Mmmm?
- Peace Pilgrimage going through Crinan Canal now, en route for Faslane
Any chance the Peace Pilgrimage could make a short diversion via Kilmory?? - New SNP group leader unable to keep the sheep in the pen
Anne – if you have news or wish to dispute what Newsie says (and who in their right mind wouldn’t – she has previous for this sort of nonsense)- why not put it on here instead of coming over all secret squirrel-ish??Or are you just doing a Newsie as well pretending to be in the know when you are most defo in the outer circle…?
- Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
Just read the story TC thanks for that. http://www.cowalcourier.com/snp-duo-declare-support-for-new-administration-and-urge-others-to-follow/This seems to be a reassuringly mature and diplomatic statement, it is therefore unlikely to secure universal support from the various factions within the SNP.

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.

Simon, you know the saying about if you have not got anything good to say?
Let’s see what you say next Friday once the snp are in administration!
I’m going to break my own advice and suggest you foxtrot Oscar……and don’t have a nice day.

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.

All the best for the future Ron. Always treat adversity as an opportunity and in your case an opportunity to regain your health.

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!
