Following revelations this morning that the Convener of the Crofting Commission, Colin Kennedy, requires a comfortable chair at meetings to aid his “posture, conduct and demeanour” followers of @CroftingLaw on Twitter started to have some fun.
In keeping with the headline of the original blog post we got the hashtag #achairfitforaconvener from @Janiceeem56:-
Is this more to your liking, sir? #achairfitforaconvener pic.twitter.com/xIqCcSWdVS

The Crabbit Crofter clearly thought that a portable chair would save the Crofting Commission some money:-
Hilarious! Instead of @croftingscot sending staff to check seats, should travel everywhere with a #convenerthrone https://t.co/Vr8usWzlTt

Meanwhile @_JamieMcIntyre thought we needed to get #faultyfurniture trending:-
@CroftingLaw Time to get the #faultyfurniture hashtag trending……
— Jamie McIntyre (@_JamieMcIntyre) 10 September 2016
This would jokingly reference excuses for things that happened being down to faulty furniture e.g.:-
@CroftingLaw BREAKING: Andy Murray’s exit from US Open due to courtside chairs being wrong height for changeovers #faultyfurniture

But there is, of course, a serious side to all of this as highlighted by @AlisonMacleod3:-
It’s mad (and very sad) that the Crofting Commission has got itself into this state! https://t.co/W4H07vipLj

@Linda_60_B Such a lot of potential for crofting in our remote communities, need to get out of this mess & move on to achieve that.

But the answer to that has not, so far, changed:-
@FergusEwingMSP needs to step in now + get @CroftingScot out of this mess Only option left.+ before election process https://t.co/jLAHiW5rZY
