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