Non-aligned suggests you are not associated with others or other parties. Un-aligned suggested out of alignment or wonky! Which funnily enough fits perfectly with his view of other independents... |

More unhelpful scruffiness at 2:05 on the revenue budget, A bit more helpful at 3:00 when responding to the fabulous Cllr Anne Stirling (Lib Dem, former council leader) when she moved the Housing Revenue Budget Downright mischievous when I spread a rumour that I might oppose the Carbon Budget causing obvious advance changes to others speeches before mine's at 3:10 Next year, I will have a budget amendment. It will probably not get a seconder. It's great fun being in a tiny minority. At least we never went below 2, so I could always get a seconder. |

One of the reasons I was reluctant to move an amendment to the posturing piece of nonsense that is the carbon budget is that it might be seconded by a Seventh Day Adventist climate change denier who might "agree with Cllr Wallace, dinosaurs perished because they missed the Ark" Speaking of posturing on carbon ... The BBC ran a piece today which involved a team going to Fort William to interview a 13 year old who has been leading "school strikes" protesting against climate change. "To minimise our carbon impact we hired an electric car"er, why not go on the train or the Citylink coach? Or phone her ... |

I have watched more of this, Martin Ford is f****** brilliant, including when he totally owned me, I agree with very little that he believes, but he is clever, decent, consistent, funny and Honorable. When his then party shafted him over their wish to suck up to Trump, applauded I may say by the SNP they lost a truly top drawer politician. I look at the calibre of some MPs and MSPs of all parties, many are not fit to wipe Martin's (edit: I will finish this sentence later) There are/ have been very good people in local government who simply don't want to go elsewhere ... |

I get no sound on the playback... Though what surprised me most is that Swiss Tony is now a Aberdeenshire councillor.  |

The meeting was followed by raising the LGBT flag, because flags are the new facts. I didn't do armed forces day, I didn't do LGBT day, I wont be doing Diwlali or disability awareness day. Posturing bollocks. Loved Ian Dury's "Not the Year of the disabled " stuff  |

What on earth do they have on a poxy LGBT flag if a decent person dare ask? It is LGBT History Month. The flag reminds us that there are still fights to be fought against people who think us who are LGBT+ "poxy". Go on Dok. You are kidding? LGBT History Month? Really? You can't make this stuff up. Priceless. 'Poxy' adjective for the flag but a bit past caring actually. |

White Straight Male History Year is very accommodating, you'll find. Allows all of us minority groups to have our place. I must make the most of our WSMHY. |

Currently at an event where I'm a guest speaker for LGBT History month. Its a good event and a way of thinking about a whole range of issues in a range of organisations
Flags can be useful to make a point as Dok indicated. However if the organisations positive activity for its LGBT community doesn't extend past flying flags there is a sense of lip service
