Local elections

Hull 802 is the Claymore. The other ferry is called the Glen Sannox.

I know how important it is to you that you get things right, Urmstongram

HTH.

I've just checked to find out what our invisible LibDem councillor is actually doing as generally he doesn't seem to be aware of anything at all that is going on round here.

He provides lots of links to what other people are doing but doesn't seem proactive himself.
Nor can he answer any questions and neither does he bother to find out the answers.

I don't care who gets in next time as long as it's not him.

Opposition parties accused the First Minister of hiding from scrutiny with a "media blackout".

Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said: "This is a remarkable display of both arrogance and cowardice from the First Minister.

“It feels more like the scrutiny dodging antics of Donald Trump than the actions of a leader at ease with her government’s record.

"Then again if I had spent five years cutting local authority budgets then perhaps I wouldn't want to face media scrutiny either.(copied from Yahoo news)

Much the same here. So much so that I sent him an email quoting Cromwell.
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation etc etc.

I’ve been looking for that. I saw it then couldn’t find it to post it later.

Well done!

Oh dear Urm on your high horse again...shame you only get your FACTS from the MSM .Aright wing tory media that hates the thought Scots are making different decisions than the rest of the UK.
Quite why it bothers you so much I have no idea BUT if your SF's family are so distraught about people being treated like HUMAN BEINGS..and getting help then I'd guess there a Tory element there,
Me? I pay the slightly higher tax ,and I am happy to do so when it means that funding is going to the people who need it and not tory donors or people who think a new car every year is hardship.If what happens here annoys you so much I'd avoid the enws or the biased media ...not good for your health

So Varian what do you think of the leader of the Scottish branch of the LIB DEMS taking £200.000 from an OIl company to try to slow down the Green aganda here ? Dont worry though ,hes not alone ...Anas Sarwar took the same amount for Labour .
Shame really when we're doing so well with our renewable programme ..we dont need quislings backing the other side

I’m just interested in the whole of the United Kingdom paddyanne. Better together, in my opinion.

New car? Haha! We drive a 17y old Peugeot. Happy enough.
My dad used to say “3rd class driving is better than 1st class walking”.

No Labour gains in the by elections it seems so far.

Earlier this evening I was listening to Sturgeon on the BBC news as she explained why people should vote SNP.

Can you guess the answer.

Was it (a) because of all the things I have done to make Scotland better or (b) to send a message to Boris Johnson about all the things he is doing wrong.

I am pretty sure you don't need me to tell you the answer.

Am I going mad? Was this thread about local elections or was it list as many inaccurate and sneering things about the SNP?

Scotland will be voting on 5th May just like everyone else. For some reason NS is in many of the newspapers today. She seems to be centre stage at present. Never mind, it might be Wigan tomorrow. Or something interesting about Drakeford. I’ll take a ? tomorrow.
