candidate Elizabeth Carr-Ellis resides in Canterbury – which Google informs me is five hours from Paris and a mere 10-hour commute from Angus.
I said she is the Labour candidate but she is, in fact, specifically standing for Scottish Labour and representing Scottish Labour on the ballot paper but I wonder if she is even a member of Scottish Labour. Perhaps joining the big boys in England gives her access and rights in all other branch offices.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
