Who will you be voting for on the 3rd May 2007?

[sniper]

I would love too see how many votes the good old general would get if he stood for the council elections! General please stand in the next election ill get the Bee Costume looked out for you

HOw many votes do you think you would get if you did stand?

[Sweltered]

Deidreh

One small point,

 A New Deal for the Fishing Industry – bringing fishing communities and scientists together, and setting minimum landing prices

There is a minimum price system in place already, and fishermen in general (no pun intended) are quite wiling to talk to scientists already.

Is Solidarity going to MAKE them talk? If they're going to torture them, I can suggest a few candidates.

[Ship called Dignity]

All the best to everyone tomorrow.

Will be supporting Deirdre, John, Donald, Jim, Rory and George but not telling you in which order......

[deirdreh]

Drearie,

With the split from SSP why ''solidarity''

It makes me think about Poles.

Brother Tommy makes me think Pole dancer.

Drop the sun tanned git and your policies might get a few more votes. (though not fae me -as soon as they made the remedial schools a ''university that was it - dont hire students no mare, every beggar a graduate)

Mon the winners :P

Says more about you than Mr Sheridan I think.

[Glory Blazer]

far be it for me to ridicule anyones political viewpoint, but ach the hell with it as somebody said on another thread "but i am right?" here's my lowdown on the candidates.

no names no packdrills, whatever that means? honestly, i've no idea?

one has no credibility, never had before, change of shirt or coat won't make a difference

one has no brain, going purely for the farming vote, good luck with that then!!

one well. this one takes on the mantel of a previous media whore, and if elected will turn up at the opening of the first available envelope, having had some practise already.

one, might mean well but from what i hear lays claim to successes they have no right to and regarding certain things lacks backbone, tho i did only hear that from my doorstep while the were harangued for failed promises by a neighbour.

one who's time has been and gone and might yet believe just turning up for an attendance allowance is all thats required

and one, who i've voted for as my number one, unlike others i did place them one to six, thought it only fair, nobody except the counter will know, won't know its my vote but i know, so this one is my one and if they don't follow through as one would wish then one won'y be voting one for this one should one not put ones selve up when next we are asked to pick one.

vote one, you know it makes sense

General thanks for your opinion, I'm sure everyone will sleep better at night knowing that!!

I can only aspire to be as perfect as you one day, to be so pass remarkable is something to envy is it not folks? Or do we just treat him with the contempt he deserves!?

Cause there's those who know and think they know and there are those who think they know and know not!!

General, it's about time you were court marshalled!!!

[Sweltered]

WIth all this talk of solidarity and condeming someone for having an opinion, South Kintyre is looking more like North Korea. As I've said in earlier threads, if you put yourself forward for public scrutiny, expect pelters.

Obviously the remarks remain on here because moderators don't hold those standing in as "high regard " as some other politicians in the town , who are above criticism.

I didn't see you jumping in when BUsh, Blair or Brown are given their character, but one derogatory comment about fermers and there you are to the fore.

You know the kind of stufff he writes, if you choose to read it then that's your problem.


Next time you have a thought......let it go

As for you Sweltered, practise what you preach, you might learn something.

Very nearly check mate!

[Sweltered]

My criticism was of blinkered attitudes of those who read posts, knowing what to expect, then condeming the post...the whole Mary Whitehouse thing. I was also highlighting the hypocrasy of your attitude extending only to local worthies. A politician is a politician, whether it is in Holyrood or the Community Council.

Check mate? Hardly.


By the way is a Glory Blazer a kind of coat?

I may well expect to find a whole load of ill informed comments posted by certain people on this forum but that doesn't mean I have to find them acceptable or to ignore them just to appease the few.

You will not supress my desire to comment on what I feel is wrong or that to which I do not agree!

I am not one of the "gang" that is currently maurading this forum and I shall not be preached to.

Please refrain from trying to do so!!

swelterd and the general sound as if they are sining from the same hymn sheet

[general jack o'niell]

he's more to be pitied than scolded, i can assure you, thank you for that blazer, i had a good laugh reading it, please don't think that i, for one minute expected to be taken seriously or for my opinions to influence others, had i been inclined to do so, i would have put myself forward for public office. i'm fairly certain i could do just as well and in most cases better than any of the six that are standing, with the small exception of two, maybe three at a push, those standing are not worthy of the office which they seek, my opinion, but then i have a nasty habit of thinking that most people i meet are a wee bit further down the intellectual ladder than me, only my opinion, and yes sweltered you are included in that, don't want you to feel left out, now if you just move your feet down onto the next rung we both might avoid falling off!!!

as sweltered so eloquently stated(patter him up, he'll never notice) if you stand for public office expect to get critics like myself discounting your credentials, i never said anything i didn't or don't believe, i never name anyone, you obviously made up your own mind and took the hump and if you thought i was having a dig at farmers? well, despite not having been at sea for, geez!!! is it really twelve years now? anyway, despite that, i'm still a fisherman, will be till the day i die and proud of it too, so takingthe mick out of fermers is a given, any farmers that actually know me, know me, but if you've been traumatised in any way by my comments i'm sure theres a subsidy you can apply for?

i know they are all hardworkers, not my fault that with the exception of the johns, the four that i know that is and maybe one or two others including the brother in law here, he's as sharp as a tack, and a witty bugger to boot, they are for the most part not the brightest people you'll ever meet, i will accept that most fishermen are just plain stupid, even a few of the really good ones.

see, i can be democratic when i want, there goes the farming and fishing vote at the next election, doesn't mean they don't deserve the best representation from those elected. theres a couple of farmers that i might even vote for if they stood as independants, well i'd place them at no.2, have to stay loyal to my party of choice, notthat i agree with everything they say, hence the reason i turned down a request when asked if i was interested back in the nineties, i might add that one of my brothers was asked first, less of a loose cannon i suppose.

i would never knowingly try to persuade anyone on how they should vote, i don't even know how my better half voted, i hope she voted the same as me, but i don't know and i won't ask, thats private, all i will say is that i hope there is a massive turnout and that we get what we deserve, just think about that if you haven't already voted, what do you deserve from those you elect? what do your parents deserve, your children? your town, argyll, scotland, what and who do you think you deserve? then vote accordingly, it's all you can do, its all any of us can do, then like me cross your fingers and hope.

i would like to wish mary all the best today, hope jim mather beats her but make it a close race, as long as they finish above the rest.

locally, i only judged them as i found them, and i'll congratulate the victors and wish them well, i'll be surprised if my 1-2-3 don't come in that order, but then some people just get what they deserve, i hope i do

[The Hitman]

Loaf anyone?

[general jack o'niell]

cut me a big slice, and no, i won't be wanting jam on it, unlike some, i expect little from local cooncillors, i appreciate they will often be outnumbered when votes are made up at the big hoose, though i will expect them to try and make our voice heard, unlike some previous encombants that stayed schtum in order to keep their seats on committees.

i have every faith that whichever three we end up with this will never be repeated.

a wee ps. i never saw the "how many votes do you think you would get?" posting until now

as part rep. maybe as many as 100, as an independent? maybe a dozen if i spent four years brown nosing and ass licking and got a full frontal lobotomy(no, i haven't already had one) in order that i never again had an original thought, but just, as was mentioned in a previous post, offered "the moon on a stick" who know?

maybe some of those standing will tell us?


one thing i do know, i might never get any votes but the hustings and an public meetings would be a good laugh, i could stand for the "satire is not dead, it's only got it's head so far up it's own kyber you can't hear it" party

think i'll ask robbie robb to be my agent, he's always been a good judge of character

vote for me and i promise to claim all my allowances

[The Hitman]

A big slice, now thats just greedy General, ye can't go asking for the world when you aren't willing to stand and be counted yourself!!

[Sweltered]

You may think you you are on a higher rung intellectually.....easy to say when you've never put it to the test Having finished one's formal education before 4th year at the Campbeltown Grammar had officially ended, is not a platform from which to be camparing intellect from.

All the votes have been cast, I only hope that those worthy of election have been successful, and the pies in the sky merchants have been soundly thrashed.
