Oor Graham on the front page

Graham gets himself on the front page of the Highland Standard - The LibDem freebie that's going round the doors at the moment. It's got lots of pics of a wifie that thinks she's got a chance against Fergus. Her name didn't really sink in, it was only Graham's face that prevented the offending item going straight into the bin really, she was up the Ward Forum the other night too - is there an election coming or something? Perhaps the banners should say 'Save the LibDems'? They are obviously short of a few populist issues so they are highlighting the proposal to amalgamate all the Scottish Police forces - I suppose that that's better than say: "Danny - for selling English Forests but saving Scottish ones" or some other witty headline that Gurnites could perhaps come up with.
Well, LibDem bandwagon or not one wonders how it would all pan out for the Highlands and Nairn in particular if we just had one Scottish Police Force. As long as the officers could keep turning up at Ward Forums and Community Council meetings to report that crime was still going down then it would be fine but would it be like that? In their free paper The LibDems claim:

"Ministers show clear preference for centralisation, but are choosing to hide what it will mean behind a consultation exercise until after May's elections."

Wow! The Highland LibDems against centralisation? Fantastic, but perhaps they could tell us how come, if we have so many Liberal Councillors at Glenurquhart Road and Danny being a LibDem MP and all that, that we have seen so much of the civic life blood of Nairn drip away to Inverness over the past few years? They haven't exactly stood up to stop that have they?
