Up Periscope

Hustings are a big thing in Argyll & Bute - tonight on Mull was the fourth of ten occasions on which the four constituency candidates ( sometimes joined by a list candidate or two) will answer questions from a local audience.

However this was the first one to be broadcast using Periscope which allows same time interaction from on line viewers . We have had broadcast by radio before and also by internet ( last night on Bute was recorded for that purpose and only a poor signal prevented live streaming) but Periscope takes response and commentary to a new dimension as the hilarious treatment of UKIPs Scottish "leader" two weeks ago showed. If you haven't seen it , search for it on You Tube .
