Unlike #Makerfield, there's been precious little coverage in England of the 2 Scottish by-elections - Aberdeen South and Arbroath and Broughty Ferry - also taking place today.

I'm reminded of Neville Chamberlain's words re Czechoslovakia in 1938: "A far away country".

@wood5y yeah, the spend on glossy dross must be exorbitant compared to the number of votes that'll be materialised from it
