How no - where do you want me start. This protest goes back to 1989 Poll Tax . I played a leading part in organising the Anti Poll Tax Union ( Scotland ). We began our campaign by directly opposing the tax - this included registration - We have been fined Thousands of pounds for refusing to register - this sum remains unpaid . I have in the past corresponded with Glasgow District Council and formerly Strathclyde Regional Council -in order to establish the exact amount - they have so far been - unable or unwilling - to determine the sum.
My point being - that if someone is fined by the local authority - the authority has a duty - both in legislation and moral obligation to quantify the amount. You cannot fine a citizen - without informing them of the cost in civil penalties. I think that - I'm at least - entitled to that.

As a communist - my desire to bring forth democracy in Scotland remains strong. I believe that if people were to withhold taxes - then the transition to a Scottish socialist state - would be relatively peaceful. So no - we have never paid council tax - our struggle continues. In case you think that we may have benefited financially - We have had all non essential household items - ponded by Sheriff Officers - had wage arrests - threatening letters by the sackful. It would have been easier to pay. Personally I believe that every citizen should contribute to society - As long as that society is fair and just - this society is neither. Scotland has the opportunity to develop a system based on human need - and hopefully act as a beacon to all lovers of freedom and democracy.

But you were quite happy to have use of all the facilities that Glasgow enjoyed, which were paid for by the people of kintyre, who didn't have those facilities...

2nd phase of the new town centre - my my. On a more serious point however - that is brilliant bill - good luck tae Corby - I'm quite sure it's as bonny - as bill suggests.
How did they manage it ?. If Corby can - then Campbeltown can.
Or maybe they cannae.

Not a very attractive building bill - interesting nonetheless - It appears quite well built and substantial - with by the looks of it - it's own boiler house - The rooftop childrens play area looks ok - not quite sure regarding the size of the safety fence though. That particularly corner of the building - appears similar to that of a public toilet . Do they have things going on upstairs?. The windows at the front are unattractive - in terms of shape and numbers - what a unappetizing mix.The camera on the side is hideously overt - and street junk. The large draped plastic sign - leaves little to desire.
