Top Reads of 2021

I hate choosing favorites, but I was able to narrow down my favorite reads from 2021 to the top 10! Check out what made the cut:

I’ve been procrastinating on writing this post for days now as I truly hate picking favorites, especially when it comes to the books I read. 2021 was a great reading year and I truly read so many books that I adored. However, I do think one book stands out in my mind as being my top favorite this year. I accidentally added it twice to my list while I was pulling this together so I take that as a…

The battle for the biggest constituency in Britain

THE PUMP whirrs as it sucks salmon from their pen. Then the prospective MP helps feed the fish into a stunner, which whacks them on the back of the head. Having slaughtered a hundred or so, Craig Harrow pauses for a photo with a suitably attractive specimen, before delivering a stump speech to a dozen taciturn, blood-spattered fish farmers. He apologises for taking up their time. “If there are any ardent nationalists here,” the Liberal Democrat candidate says, “I’m sorry about that, too, because I’m pro-EU and pro-UK.” And so begins the week’s campaign for Ross, Skye and Lochaber.

At 12,000 square kilometres, only a bit smaller than Northern Ireland, the sparsely populated constituency is the biggest in Britain. It stretches from Skye, off Scotland’s west coast, to the Black Isle (which is neither black nor an island) on the east coast. Mr Harrow’s attempt to win it back for the Lib Dems from Ian Blackford, the leader in Westminster of the Scottish National Party (SNP), will therefore involve a lot of travel. After visiting the salmon farm near Ullapool, on the west coast, he ends the day in Dingwall, on the other side of Scotland, pressing the flesh with farmers at a union meeting.

With both the SNP and the Lib Dems opposing Brexit, Mr Harrow must unite the unionist vote behind him. Mr Blackford is confident he will be able to hold him off. The Lib Dems held the seat until 2015, but fell more than 7,000 votes short of unseating Mr Blackford at the last election, two years ago. The SNP’s man may be a former banker, but he is also a keen crofter and has a national profile. Before he heads out leafleting in Portree, Skye, he asks an activist to help him get 16 of his sheep to market.

A winter election is tough for activists across the country, but it is particularly bitter in northern Scotland, where the sun sets before 4pm. The only way across parts of the constituency is by single-track roads, which feel perilous at the best of times. Online campaigning helps, but candidates are still keen to show their faces. And as Mr Harrow notes, the evening, “the time when most people would be in, is the time when you don’t want to knock on their door because it will be dark.” Which means that to have any hope of overturning Mr Blackford’s majority he will have to make every daylight hour count.

No deaths on Highland roadway because 2016, states Transport Scotland

Transport Scotland validated a perceived boost in the variety of deaths on the A82 gone over by councillors may not be based upon truths it holds.At the last conference of the Lochaber location committee of Highland councillors it raised issues about the number of mishaps on the roadway in and around Lochaber. However Transport Scotland says that while one death is too many there have been no deaths on the road since 2016. The minute of the area committee checks out:”Considerable effort had been made to educate local motor bicyclists on potential threats but a lot of those associated with accidents lived outwith Highland and it was questioned how finest this group could be reached.”It continues:”The popularity of the North Coast 500 was well recognised but it was questioned if this had likewise had an effect on the variety of roadway mishaps in Lochaber with travelers choosing to check out other paths.” However, in a response to a question positioned by the Press and Journal a Transport Scotland spokesperson verified the

last documented deaths on the A82 were in 2016. A death at a cycling event last weekend in Fort William was referred to as a”medical death” by an authorities spokesman.A spokesman for Transportation Scotland continued:”Road security is of vital importance to the Scottish Federal government. We assess the safety performance

of the trunk roadway network on an annual basis that includes the A82.”The newest statistics reveal that casualties on Scotland’s roads are at the most affordable levels since records started. This is of little alleviation to good friends and relatives of individuals who have actually tragically passed away on our roadway network. However we wish to go further and understand’Vision Absolutely no’ to ensure that nobody is killed on Scotland’s roads. “Through continued education, engineering and proper enforcement by partners, we can bring about a revolution in roadway security that we are figured out to attain as we continue to

work towards the goals set out in Scotland’s Roadway Security Framework to 2020. “
