My Grandfather came from Stornoway and I still have connections there. Thankfully, this councillor Numpty is not one of them 
I thought the name 'Stornoway Grey' was a good thing and that brought the naming back to the UK. I mean, Java Black is Indonesian. Tonga Green sounds African or Caribean.
Just another political tw  t looing for his name in newsprint

Nail on the head!! When he gets nowhere, then he'll raise the 4x4 issue to further his 15 minutes of delusional fame.
Although sounds like a question that would be asked at PM's question time. As some of the questions asked there and some statements are unbelievable.

everyone knows stornoway is grey even when the sun shines. (not very often) 
What a moron... its only a bloody colour name... I mean, have the Javanese taken LR to task for being racist ?? Have Starbucks told them off for using the Java name or complaining that Java is actually dark brown not black
