Read 'Colinton' as 'Corbyn' initially, and thought it was a plan to satisfy both sides of the Labour party.

I see the local
Conservative Associationhomeowners worried about the value of their homesconcerned residents have come out in force: all four of them, plus a Tory councillor.Teapot. Storm, for the use of.

This is about the boundary of an electoral ward, not what constitutes the village. The two are very different things; different halves of Colinton will be in different wards. Colinton will still be in the (former) village of Colinton, which needs to get over the fact it was swallowed up by the city many, many years ago. The only signs that tell you which electoral sub-division you are in are those between council areas. When was the last time you saw a "Welcome to the Edinburgh East Constituency" or "You are Now Leaving South Team, Come Again Soon" signs? It's not even a story.

"But we don't want to live in Wester Hailes!!11!".

If you think it's getting heated in Colinton, the temperature in Dundee's genteel suburb Broughty Ferry is reaching boiling point! Playground bully tactics indeed!
