There is only one reasonable option. Start the official Vote UK Forum Political party and be its first leader. Oh please do. If he called it Non aligned, it would automatically become the largest party represented here. |

Non-aligned suggests you are not associated with others or other parties. Un-aligned suggested out of alignment or wonky! |

aberdeenshire.public-i.tv/core/portal/webcast_interactive/404503Today's budget meeting. All good fun. Top table is Alan Wood, Director of Finance Ron McKail (Conservative) Deputy Provost and wingman to Bill Howatson (Lib Dem ) Provost Jim Savege Chief Exec Karen Wiles Director of Legal and Governance Sitting below them are the other directors, first two significant speakers are Jim Gifford, Conservative, leader of the Council and Peter Argylle, Lib Dem, Deputy Leader. I have expressed my lack of confidence in them. Opposite side frequent speakers are Richard Thompson (SNP leader) and Alison Evison (Labour, also president of CoSLA) of "the Partnership" who are the opposition to the "the Administration" Third significant speaker is Paul Johnstone, ex Lib Dem now Independent of the Democratic Independent and Green Group (DIGG) adjacent to his wingman Martin Ford, ex Lib Dem, now Green and globally famous Trump anti-fanboy. Whiggish interventions begin at 14:00. It was not a helpful intervention. I need a haircut and to lose a stone.

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.

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"

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)

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 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.
