I see from today's Greenock Telegraph that the leader of the local SNP Group is once again trying to deny me my right of free speech in the constitutional debate. Not content with constantly complaining about the content of my column in the 'Tele' he now wants to prevent me from airing my views on Twitter.
I simply won't let him and the other Cybernats shout me down. I have never given in to bullying.
If anyone should apologise for his conduct on Twitter it is Christopher McEleny. Not content with talking about the religious beliefs of fellow councillors on Twitter he is now trying to associate those of us who support 'Better Together' with the Orange Order in a clear attempt to use sectarianism for political gain.
I won't take any lessons in morality from him. I have never before known a councillor in Inverclyde to openly use religion in such a way for perceived political advantage.
Curiously local news reporters seem to have missed these tweets by Councillor McEleny.
The remarks that I made about the international security situation are entirely relevant to the constitutional debate. The first job of any government is the security and defence of its people.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that breaking up the UK's army, navy, air force and security services will weaken the defence and security of not only the rest of the UK but also Scotland. The actual process of break-up will also be a major distraction that our services and Governments can do without when we live in such dangerous times.
This is one of the many reasons that I am opposed to the break-up of Britain.

I heard today that the local yes to independence group are not happy with local reds Davy Landels and co. They have not been out much even though they talk a good game.
