Political correctness is the motivation

Published 25 Feb 2010 15:17 1 Comment

I AGREE wholeheartedly with Leslie Maxwell who, in "Eye on Millig" last week, drew attention to the proliferation of bi-lingual signs.

I can certainly understand the sense of English / Gaelic signs in the far west and north-west where Gaelic is still entirely relevant. But in Helensburgh?

As your columnist points out, quite rightly in my view, political correctness is the motive here - and at what additional cost?

  I totally agree. The 2001 census recorded that there was no-one in Scotland who spoke only Gaelic - all of the 58,652 Gaelic speakers also spoke English. So why waste taxpayers' money on bi-lingual signs? Political correctness - that's why.
