Fat chance, fat man
You may have seen the ridiculous attack on the Galson community wind farm proposals by the enormously enormous and self-important Murdo "Esso" Morrison, who is seeking to protect his holiday home and has enlisted the usual suspects in creating another pressure group out of three or four of his mates.
Well, it looks like some naughty boys and girls have been helping his campaign.
Not that I am encouraging anyone to despoil the petition, but there will be prizes.....
Update Wednesday: The names of 'supporters' are being removed whilst iffy double signatures are still being allowed to stay. Barely a local to be seen in the list of signatures.

HELPS me! HELPS me!
From the petition:
"Behind this dreadful plan are people, islanders amongst them, who are putting aside any affinity with our genuine history – and their own as well."
Way to get the locals on your side...NOT!
The very dodgy etymological study of some of the placenames around the Ballantrushal area published recently in the letters column of the Stornoway Gazette by some bod living in Ness illustrates clearly that some incomers who don't have 'the Gaelic' are not quite up to it when it comes to interpreting local history. Looking up Dwelly's is not quite enough.
"A bigger load of old rubbish I haven't clapped me reading glasses on in years", I believe Tony Hancock said...
Yep. Ordnance Survey maps with old Gaelic placenames on them contain more f**kups than the House of Commons. Same back then as it is now...dinnae bother listening to the locals.
Heavy editing going on, eh? Not good. He should leave all signatures up like on Angus Nicolson's Stornoway Grey petition. That was most entertaining.
I forgot all about that petition, which is no doubt still available in cyberspace.
I'll have to dig out the link and enjoy the humour and abuse in equal measure.
Surely not THE Murdo Morrison who was working for a company that destroys rainforests. Was he campaigning against the destruction of these important sites??
The link, Angus. #126 is particularly funny (it's not mine, honest).
More to the point, why would anyone bother to build useless wind turbines?
Oh, of course: it gives them the chance to get taxpayer largesse while pretending to be 'green'.
What a scam these windfarms are. Absolutely useless.
