If you’re going to make a gaffe, you may as well make it a big one, I suppose

March 19th, 2010 | Author: Paul

From Multimap, here’s an aerial picture showing Achmore (ringed), on the Isle of Lewis.

Miles from the sea, you will notice.

So when asked to list important issues for local islanders, why did the (not so-) local Tory candidate single out the need for “the building of the harbour wall at Achmore”?

It is baffling.

It reminds me of a campaign a long time ago when we hoped to get a non-local Tory candidate to pontificate on the future of Donnington Hospital (which he wouldn’t have known is not a hospital, but almshouses). Sadly, it remained an unfulfilled campaigners’ fantasy.

Unsolicited praise
"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk
