The only member of the Fort William, Inverlochy, and Torlundy Community Council presently to live in Fort William's high-SIMD (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation) estate, Plantation - Mr Mark Drayton of 6 Morven Place - issued the challenge at lunchtime on Monday 11th April. Welcoming Dr Willis's prompt acceptance, an alacritous Mr Drayton proclaimed: "I'm sincerely grateful to Ms [Dr] Willis for agreeing to visit Plantation during her campaign to win a seat on Highland Council in May, especially as the results of last years by-election strongly suggest that she is all-but-certain to take one of the four seats contested by only five candidates, anyway - so she's unlikely to need to campaign very hard. To her great credit it took her barely three hours to agree to visit Plantation - this very week, indeed: provisionally, on Friday afternoon, the day after our big three-skip spring-clean here." Mr Drayton also took the opportunity to repeat his offer of assistance to move bulky goods as part of the Thursday clean-up effort, stressing that, to take advantage of his offer, residents should ideally join the <https://NextDoor.co.uk> social-networking platform/app rather than relying on Facebook, say. "I don't trust that censorship-loving [Mark] Zuckerberg bastard any further than I could comfortably excrete him," Mr Drayton explained. Mr Drayton's views regarding Mr Zuckerberg are well known to readers of his 'Wednesday Headway' SubStack columns, part of his so-called 'Drayton Download': on 8th & 15th September 2021 Mr Drayton re-posted a long article by British-born science journalist Nicholas Wade defending the 'lab-leak' hypothesis of Covid-19's origin; Mr Drayton's brief introduction (at <https://draytonmark.substack.com/p/wed-head-xxv-pt1>) forthrightly condemned Facebook for censoring discussion of the theory. Mr Zuckerberg was unavailable for comment.
