The blog formerly known as "Angus Nicolson - an incredulous eye on the isles" this was the blog of an ordinary, boring, former Councillor in the Western Isles of Scotland.
Angus is taking a sabbatical to be with his young family
Debate strengthens democracy, except inside the SNP, as he has discovered. If you want balance then get some scales. This is opinion - our opinion.

Wow!
That's about 200,000 in the past year.
Many thanks to all my readers, and I promise to continue to harass, praise and insult for the foreseeable future.
Face it. Its a closed door to all by the Comhairle. They dont want anyone to know what is going on because the corruption will be exposed.
Most staff dont know what they are doing and arent qualified to fill their posts, but its ok, as tehy have a relative working there who keeps them in post.
I went in the other day to try and make an appointment with someone. Surprise, surprise - they were all on a training course. So you cant get the information from teh website, or if you stand at their front desk. Whatever happenned to openess, democracy and transparency?
I did note however that the thermometer said 24 degrees. So much for being green and eco-efficent. The b'stards even burn our cash to overheat the place. You'd think there was enough hot air there as it is.
have you really only been going a year and a half?
