Cheaper fuel
It's good to see the LibDems campaigning for lower fuel duty for the Highland and Islands, something I have argued for for a long time as part of a desire to see the islands become a duty-free zone.
Despite the repeated protests by the SNP, the Comhairle and by myself as Chair of Environmental Services, I am disappointed that our MP seems to be nowhere on this issue, other than tabling an EDM in 2005. I stand to be corrected, and I look forward to his contribution to this debate.

Ever wished we had voted the Lib Dems in at Westminster and Holyrood?
What a disgrace our MP and MSP are. Do they even know what issues affect the Islands or bother to find out.
He is to busy saving the Koala or worrying about a tsunami in the Severn Estuary. He must be the most usless MP in Westminster.
Mind you the question has to be asked. How often has he been in Parliament since he was elected?
Jeez, Angus, do you pay this 'anonymous'/madnisheach/sunny side up/ etc etc. per comment? This person really needs to find some gainful work to do (perhaps the next MP or MSP in waiting?)
I notice also that these vitriolic comments seem to be made very soon after your posts are put up. Interesting, that.
There are few things sadder than witnessing anonymous people on blogs entering comments, only minutes apart sometimes, under different names, appearing to agree with previous comments - their own!
Like I said before, Angus: embarrassing.
eyoop
get a life. get a feed from the blog and you to can comment quickly.
Jeez, Angus, do you pay this anonymous eyoop per comment? This person really needs to find some gainful work to do (perhaps they are the MP or MSP?)
Like I said before, Angus: I'm embarrassing.
Oh dear, trying that one again are we? Using others' usernames? How sad.
I'm flattered you think I'm the MP or MSP. It makes me chuckle to think you believe either of them would bother commenting on this blog, particularly to your comments. Hahaha!
Don't feed the troll, please.
Well the real eyoop I really feel sorry for you if you are flattered to be compared to such a useless article as our MP. As for our MSP I will give him till his first 100 days are up. Then if he has not delivered I will start asking questions of all the broken promises.
Eyoop aka foolish SNP activist.
I wouldn't expect our MP or MSP to comment on this blog as they don't seem to have a voice on anything, useful or otherwise, so why should this site be an exception.
They are just sitting pretty, earning their fat salaries, paid for by us the taxpayer and laughing at all the fools who voted them in.
BTW I hope that you don't work in the SNP offices as you really should be earning your wage. You shouldn't forget that you are also being funded by us the hard working taxpayer and shouldn't be spending your time leaving your pathetic comments on this site.

I asked this question a little way down on the post about MSP holidays but didn't receive a response (surprise surprise)
Do you know if the SNP are factoring their (very long) summer holidays into the 100 day target or are they just buying themselves another 8 weeks?
As I have mentioned before our MSP represents the SNP at Holyrood not the Western Isles, A very efficient SNP machine won the election here, it's ironic that the majority of the electorate don't believe in the core SNP policy of seperation. If you think about it It's slightly scary that any party machine is so powerfull they could probably have dressed Garry Glitter in a SNP rosette and he could have won.
"Gary Glitter in an SNP rosette" - an interesting variation on the "chimpanzee in a Labour rosette"...
Well, you have another four years or so to continue headbanging your monitors, rather pointlessly, while others do the work.
It's a good day today. The war criminal is leaving office, and good riddance to him. SNP in in the Western Isles, Blair out at last...things are getting better.
a plague on all their houses
I am sorry but I have just come on line and happen to have seen the last two posts added so I probably seem like one of the ones eyoop is talking about - but I think he mainly posts mid affa anyway - this is the first time I have been on-line and been sure I've seen it... and did eyoop really just say "things can only get better?"
"plague on all their houses" not a flood by any chance? GULP !
I have a d:ream --- New Labour = New SNP

Cheaper fuel? It's time we faced reality . Economic theory can't trump geology. The Independent is the first major British newspaper I've seen pick up this topic (although "running out" is not a helpful term; declining production is the scary prospect). Peak Oil is far more terrifying than climate change imho. How do we feed 6bn people when the main feedstocks of modern agribusiness start to decline? Why is this not bigger news? We should be increasing fuel prices by the rate of declining oil supplies, not trying to reduce them. The longer we leave it to address this, the more painful it will be.
