Pilton Sucks dotCom

 Friends and reader. Strolling along the sun strewn and leafy lanes of The Forth Ward the other day we happened to see out oldest friend and regular sucks readers Lesley Prada Hinds whizz past in her turbo charged people carrier. Our very own fashion icon was certainly on a mission as teeth gritted, capped of course she meandered at great speed past the traffic cones in Ferry Road, that’s the working class end of Ferry road you understand. Our Lesley never one to let the grass grow under her feet as seen by her super shiny glass slippers, the stiletto versions was clearly in no mood to dither around, even her copy of Heat magazine which she usually keeps on the dashboard just for show of course was nowhere to be seen.

It may have been she had just come from meeting with Forths best dressed man, our very own 21st century boy Peter-man at C an A-Strong. This would have to have been held in secret as Pete’s remit is Forth and our Lesley parachuted herself into Inverleith. As a former lord or is it Lady provest she is widely recognised,  that and the fact she is a walking advert for Harvey Nics. Could it be and we can only speculate, that our Lesley was visiting Pete to enquire if he enjoyed the social event of the year which was held at Lesley’s pad recently, this was we add a bring your own Harvey Nics gift voucher social event, and judging by Pete’s array of ties he must have forgotten his, and brought a TK Max voucher instead.

This we were told was a gathering of the not so great and good, more the hangers on wannabes and asslickers shin dig, which category our Pete fits into is one best left to judgement. One lucky voucher holder who attended this fantabulos pay my expenses fundraiser told us that Pete who was accompanied by his better half Mrs-man at C an A, was the life and soul of the party waving his party card in the air with one hand and his VERA in the other, VERA dear friends means voluntary early release agreement, which would give Pete a handsome lump sum and a cosy little pension to boot.

Our Pete never one to pass up an invite, in fact we are told that Pete would turn up to the opening of an envelope, has always said that with his party card fully paid up and his VERA tucked in his back pocket he could apply for a post with Forths favourite contractor, the truly awful Halcrow, whose work has got to be seen to be believed. Pete is a true believer in the Halcrow creed of sting the taxpayer and do a shoddy job. But dear friends Pete has bigger fish to fry as he tries to thwart the Community agenda and secretly undermine the Neighbourhood Partnership in order that it curries favour with his Labour mates.

Meanwhile back at the working class end of Ferry Road our Lesley is stuck in traffic so that gives her time to get the oil of Olay out and the tester bottle of Channel No 5 she acquired when it fell off the back of a lorry and get to work in the rear view mirror. It is rumoured our Lesley hangs her false eyelashes out to dry on the washing line beside her Kate moss undies of course, just a rumour of course but where there is smoke and all that.

So our very own fashion icon is stuck in traffic with only her Olay and Channel for company, what is a girl to do, why get the blackberry out and text Harvey Nics to see if the summer season sales are on yet. But what of our Pete with his party card and VERA, well no such nonsense for him he dosen’t go in for all that girly stuff, he’s a Guardian reader without the woolly jumper and cords to match, but wait one minute what’s that, that has just dropped out of his neatly folded Guardian,  why it’s a copy of the Daily Sport, but our Pete assures us he only gets it for the crossword Aye right Pete, guess this one, four letters begins with P and ends with T,  we will give you a clue, the other two letters are R and A but that’s all you get you have to work out which way round they go. Best of luck.                                          

Friends and readers. Causing us to motion towards a thinking of one’s demise is akin to radiating solace amongst us all.  Think if you will dear friends of the,  tomorrows another day syndrom and rest your weary head for the travel of thought requires rest and brain recharging if you are again to challenge your own thought processes and those of others. Come if you will to a land where The weak are protected,  the sick are treated, and the dispossessed are given the help needed to survive in our society of today. In today’s society this does indeed require some deep thought and even a little imagination to be convinced that any of this is an actuality but rather more a fantasy conjured up by tricks played on us by those who gather together and plan what they think our lives should consist of.

Consider if you will the greatest con trick of them all, and a favourite of those that play the democratic card and then bluff with it. Tell the plebs there is no money to pay for your salvation and then hand millions of pounds out to those that already have it, and let’s for the fun of it call it inheritance tax. Let’s do even better let’s think up a plan to pay out massive amounts of money to people that brings our nation to it’s knees and then make the plebs pay for it all, takes a power of thinking and a degree more power of trickery and deception, but the democracy bluff card is used again and once more we are conned.

Let’s think some more and imagine a situation where we are told that our jobs,  services, and homes are at risk if we don’t pay for all this mis-management and millions of pounds have got to be taken out of our economy in order for our economy to thrive, now even with the deepest thinking it is hard to conceive of a situation where by you take something apart in order for it to stay together, but just there in June we voted for just that,  well some of us did.

Our thought process you can see has been bluffed by the democratic card, the joker in the pack if you like. As in any card game the bank never loses only the players, as in this case where our banks played the quick buck game and lost big time, the only difference is they both dealt and played while the rest of us could only watch and then pay for any losses the bank incurred. Great game if you can get a seat at the table.

So you see not only have we thought about what our society should be like, we were told what it was really going to turn into, only dear friends we allowed our thoughts to be manipulated into a position were we had no option but to call the bluff,  only this time there is no bluff and the dealer is ruthless and will cut to the bone all that our society should be in an attempt to force their vision of what society will be. The dealer wins again, but and there is always a but, this time the dealer has a partner so they are in coalition together and have to agree what cards to deal. This dear friends and readers is where the game may break down. For if one of the dealers should accidentally fall then there will be only one blue dealer standing on the wall.                             

Friends and readers. We have received a number of comments with regard to the two thugs that abused staff at the Muirhouse Social Work Centre. The two small minded bully’s in question JIM HEWITT  and FRANK KANE who we understand to our shock are still employed within Criminal Justice, Kane at the Dalkeith Social Work Centre and Hewitt still within the Edinburgh Criminal Justice set up.

We have contacted Edinburgh City Council through our associate George to get confirmation of this and we got the usual  no comment,  which confirms to us that these two thugs are still in a position to abuse staff. We have asked that the City of Edinburgh Council make public their workplace bullying policy and explain to us and the public that even with overwhelming evidence against these two from a number of members of staff  that seemingly no action was taken against them. 

Like most bully’s HEWITT and KANE are cowards who used the Social Care Department to hide behind and then continue to abuse staff. We received a full report from our friend from New Zealand who was subjected to abuse from HEWITT and KANE just one amongst many that were abused,  humiliated and demeaned by these two wasters. Why were they continually protected, why when it was so widely known that these two were bullying staff, why when the evidence available which we are told by a very reliable source was solid was no action taken.

These and more questions have still to be answered, and what is even more bewildering is that every Criminal Justice team within the city knew that these two were bullying staff and still no action was taken to deal with them. Pilton Sucks carried out it’s own investigation and we uncovered through a former employee,  John that HEWITTS bullying goes back a long way and that some now senior managers within Waverley Court had personal involvement with HEWITT and must have known some time back that his behaviour was at the least questionable, yet no action was  taken.

There seems no doubt that a cover up is at play here not only to protect HEWITT and his former sidekick KANE but to protect senior managers who knew HEWITT was as one senior Criminal Justice Social Worker told us a f—–g deviant, who took his own frustrations out on other members of staff. This former pig farmer has authority over other members of staff and this must be a cause for concern. We urge any present or former members of staff to get in contact with Pilton Sucks and let us know of any problems you may have had with HEWITT AND KANE.

We also urge any staff who have had the misfortune to have had any dealings with either HEWITT or KANE to write to the Director of Social Work and make a formal complaint. If it gets to his minions it will be buried. The workplace has to be a place of safety as best it can be. It can never be that as long as people like HEWITT and KANE are allowed to go unpunished.       

Friends and readers.  Cameron in blunderland as Lewis Carrol might have retitled his classic,  for surely this manufactured politician whose sole aim is not to balance the books while protecting the nation from a double dip recession,  but more to hack and destroy services and jobs at any cost to protect a creed that is steeped in right wing thinking of a hatred of the public sector.

Nothing in present Tory thinking is any different from the previous Tory Governments, just packaged differently but the intent is the same, rob the poor and protect the ruling elite. Impoverish the working people of this nation who are already under the cosh with more to come. Cameron and Co live in fantasy land and are practising toy town economics but with real consequences turning this land into a desert of opportunity and employment for the many and reserving this right for the few who can afford to pay the price of Tory dogma.

This mob will out Thatcher, Thatcher and make her look almost Serene as they smash the lives of thousands of average citizens scattering real poverty nation wide and certain destitution for many of our communities. This is no scare mongering but a manifesto promise coloured up to look something completely different, wolves in sheep’s clothing comes to mind. Very soon we will feel the cold wind of an ideology that is steeped in confrontation and class politics and the battle lines will have been firmly drawn. 

If the Tories are allowed to push forward with employment genocide then Communities across this nation will resemble mass graves for the unemployed. Helped by their friends in the city an age of austerity will descend upon this nation with what jobs are left low paid and unprotected. The Tories will create an economic divide setting one against another allowing unscrupulous employers to offer third world wages and conditions to match. Mass privatisation will return including the NHS, nothing will remain in the public sector except American style charity institutions.

No money no service, no money no treatment and don’t look to the state to provide a safety net as benefits will be savaged and striped to the bone leaving the most vunerable without a pot to piss in. It is very concievable that for the first time in generations we could see the mortality levels increase in numbers not seen Dickensian times. This is no doomsday prediction but a living breathing probabilty if the Tories get their way.  The young will have no future under the Tories unless they have the old school tie to help them,  the elderly will suffer under the Tory plans to reduce or do away with the cold weather payments, and what’s left of the working population will be taxed to death under a siege economy mentality.

But dear friends worry not as those that inherit wealth will be protected and the top 200 rich punters will feel no pain as they to will be protected from the chill wind of the Cameron winter. Heir to a fortune the right honourable Gideon Osbourn former member of the Bullingdon club and jolly good egg,  will set out in the October review where the newly sharpened axe will fall which will make the guillotine look like a paper cut as the genocide gets under way. Make no mistake these butchers will  not spare the axe on the average citizen and please believe they do not care who or how many suffer as long as it is not their people who suffer.

The Lib Dems were conned but greed got the better of them and Nasty Nic is happy that he gets a seat at the top table even though the Tories can’t stand him and what’s more he knows it. Up here in bonny Scotland the Lib Dems may well pay a heavy price for jumping into bed with the Tories and putting pride before principle.  But never mind dear friends there is of course the good news. If you have a spare £50,000 quid you could buy drinkies at Downing Street with Dave and his cabinet cronies. We hear on the grapevine that the first guest speaker at these delightful little get togethers will be that old Tory doner himself and fraudster, oops sorry alleged fraudster Nasil Adir.            

Friends and readers. So many channels so much shit to choose from,  and still we get bombarded with brain numbing stuff designed not to improve the quality of life but to dumb down our ability to think about serious issues. Cheap and nasty game shows, cookery programmes by the dozen,  and if you have a couple of zillion quid to spare you can have your own piece of paradise courtesy of escape to the country, it’s a pity we can’t all escape this heap of crap called entertainment.

And to make matters worse we have to put up with the total mind numbing Justin and Colin makes Jackie Bird look and sound interesting. There is no escaping the mediocrity that is churned out, it’s hard to rank it in order of shit but the dreadful Noel Edmunds who hosts the terrible Deal or no Deal must come high on the list. what is served up to us as entertainment is anything but,  just a diversity of mediocrity served up on a platter of rubbish designed to dull our senses and black out anything worth thinking about.

Todays media contribution to the improvement of the nations understanding leaves a lot to be desired. This medium that sits in most of our homes beams to us images of horror,  political intrigue, and natural disasters, on a daily basis,  but nothing compares to the horrors of celebrity cooks, antique shows and game show upon game show. We can all win fortunes and change our lives in an instant, so easy isn’t it. While all this claptrap fills our heads reality and not the TV kind is going on behind our backs cutting the legs beneath us. Control of the media rests in a few hands who have the power to send powerful messages into our homes giving to us what they think we should see.

Of course dear friends many people enjoy what’s broadcast in the name of entertainment and god bless them, but we must take account of the abundance of trivial shit cast upon us day by day, and of what relevance it has on improving the minds of the populace and adding to their knowledge in a creative way. It comes to pass that television has deteriorated rapidly the quality is terrible and the over used phrase for under talented bums,  celebrities has become one of cultural insignificance. We wait in quivering trembling fear for that fateful day when her majesty say’s arise Sir Noel, that then will be the end of the world as we know it.                     

Friends and readers. The illegal occupation of a country by another country by means of force is abhorrent to most of us yet when coloured in by the use of the word democracy it somehow justifies it,  certainly to those that advocate the occupation in the first place.  As witnessed we seen Iraq invaded and occupied, because we are told that there was a real danger that the infamous weapons of mass destruction could be targeted at us and be upon us in 45minutes.

This as we now know for certain was a pack of lies designed to grab their natural resources that Iraq had in abundance, namely oil. Of course it would help if on the way to controlling the oilfields they could bump off a couple of the previous Government.  This they did and in the name of democracy selected a Government that would look after the interests of the occupiers. Nice deal if you can get it, and get it they did. The problem is what happens next. First you invade, then you conquer and capture, elect a Government that is favourable to your demands and then twiddle your thumbs wondering what comes next.

Ah of course kick some other countries ass, and yes dear friends once again in the name of democracy, this time it’s Afghanistan and rid the world of terrorism which according to whichever rubbish you believe is the centre of terrorist activity. Nothing of course to do with a possible oil pipeline being built across Afghanistan, no of course not that’s just fanciful nonsense isn’t it. This is just another capitalist venture which requires bombs and bullets to force their will on someone else. 

For those that remember the fiasco of the Vietnam war,  where Communism was the enemy then and the free world had to engage in Vietnam to preserve all our freedoms and way of life,  and if Vietnam was to fall to the Commies we were all finished. So tricky Dicky invented a new form of war saturation bombing, in other words kill anyone that moves even if it’s your own side, that didn’t matter because we were bound to kill a few Commies into the bargain.

So mass bombing took place and countless lives were lost, North Vietnam won through in the end Communism didn’t end our way of life as we know it. The American administration eventually entered into peace talks and as they say the rest is history.  The argument that we were sold about Iraq was a smokescreen,  the argument we are being sold about Afghanistan is a smokescreen, and if proof is required dear friends, take a look at you history books and read about Vietnam, and then think about the real truth about incursions into other countries.                    

Friends and readers. it’s curious to note that the nation rejected the policies of the right and kept the Tories out of office for over a decade,  favouring the softer right of the Labour Party.  Both these political parties had the same idea,  grab the middle ground and stuff the rest,  thinking that would keep them in power for ever. But the middle ground where ever that is are a fickle bunch and deserted the cuddly right of Blair and Brown in favour of a Blair clone Cameron.

Turkeys voting for xmas comes to mind as Cameron and company attempt to shift the deck chairs on the Titanic, when in one fell swoop they could cut the deficit and in fact reduce it to nothing, without hurting the many thousands they certainly will do. Cameron need only increase the tax by 8% on the top 200 richest people to cut the deficit to nil, but that he will never do,  nor would the Labour Government,  who were and are to busy tugging their forelocks and sucking up to this lot to ever be bothered asking them for their fair share,  much better to hammer those that that can afford least resistance. 

The policy of hammering the weakest is an old tried and tested method by which all the problems caused by those who speculate with other peoples lives can sit back when things go wrong and watch others pick up the tab.  This robbery of the people has been carried out by both Tory and Labour Governements determined to protect the ruling class from the ravages of bad economic times.  This nation has become and has been for a long time slaves of selected democracy,  voting for a party in the name of democracy  who are dedicated to protecting a small percentage of the population at the expense of the majority.

The mentality of selected democracy is designed by it’s nature to pit one Community against another thereby creating a divide which can be simply put as the have’s and the have nots. This is Britain ruled as long as history has been around as a class driven society,  keeping those that inherited vast wealth and estates protected by all the forces of the state that can be mustered,  and using the same forces to prevent working people from resisting attacks by Governments,  this is Britain in the 21st century,  this was Britain from day dot and without our citizens demanding true democracy this is Britain to come.                  

Friends and readers. Rumour has it that the social event of the year hosted by our very own catwalk queen Lesley Prada Hinds went off with a bang raising we are told £300 into the bargain,  we do hope our fashion icon will be declaring it if she spends any of it on election expences.  Lesley of course is above all that kind of thing we are sure but we would think that this is our pals last fling at the big time and she will be hoping that the punters of Edinburgh West will return her to Holyrood so she can make the big bucks at last and get herself a nice little pension, or indeed renew or have another extension built.

Lesley who admits to loving Pilton Sucks telling people it has improved her image no end and has made her feel ten feet tall and that’s without her designer stiletoes. Edinburgh’s own fashion queen who is regularly seen browsing through the designer labels at Harvey Nics with her imitation Rayban sun specs to hand is the new face 0f Labour or nearly if she hadn’t been around so long deperatly trying to get a parliamentary seat somewhere. Never mind our Lesley will fight her corner and do her bit and if she gets lucky elected,  then she can hide on the back benches and collect the dosh.

We think Lesley could start a catwalk at holyrood and encourage some of the not so well dressed MSP’s to follow her lead and become the fashionable Labour Party,  although we think Ian Gray the present Scottish Labour leader might find it a bit difficult in stiletoes.    

Friends and readers. Most of you will know the story about the three wise men who roamed the desert on the backs of camels in search of the new born messiah,  well Pilton Sucks can exclusively reveal the up to date version of this famous biblical story. Our 21st century wise men of Cameron, Osbourn and Clegg ride not on the backs of camels but on the backs of the working population. Their star in the East is the dogma of the right and they bear not gifts but death sentences for thousands of our citizens. They wear the clothes of wolves which carry a warning that they will slay all before them in an effort to make sure their star shines brightly over all of us.

The doomsday prophecies of Osbourns policy will become the doomsday scenario played out in front of us as lambs to the slaughter we go in the name of the democratic process as proclaimed by our three wise men. Their messiah is money not people lead, it’s not about salvation it’s about destruction, the destruction of our way of life delivered at the alter of a dogma steeped in hatred of those less fortunate who are reliant on services for their very survival. Our three wise men do not see people only the balance sheet, when our only real asset is the people who strive in the main to live a decent life and provide for themselves and their families.  The new people friendly Tory party is but a sham, they are wolves in sheeps clothing  who will feed off the carcases they destroy and then call it necessary. This cull of jobs will as in the past pit one against another as devious employers exploit the situation to pay slave labour wages and conditions which would make dickensian values look mild.

The Tories have a track record but this seems to have been forgotton as the slick new PR driven Conservative party begin their hatchet job on our citizens. October will come around soon and be very aware that Osbourn will gleefully slice into the nations living standards, their standards of health through the NHS,  their ability to provide for themselves and their families,  and of course the double hit, when you try and apply for benefits to which you are entitled they will have been cut as well,  so the so called safety net will be pulled away as well,  so when you drop don’t look to be saved because Osbourn will have taken the net away in the name of efficiency using the tried and trusted method of saying everyone on benefits is a scrounger or a fraudster.

These three wise men do not travel through a desert, they are creating the desert but they are safe they have a mode of transport to travel, they have enough water to quench their thrist it is the rest of us who will scramble about for survival,  who will search for water who will have no means of transport not even Tebbits famous bike. For us the citizens of this nation there will be a long desert to cross many will not make it,  many cannot even think about it for many it is to much even to contemplate. For us there is no Moses to lead us into the promised land we have to get there ourselves that’s of course if you believe it exists. For us we will wander for up to 5 years before we can change this insanity, and then what awaits us another middle class Labour leader who is determined to forget and who in reality has never known any kind of hardship,  to lead us to their promised land. But dear friends how many of us will there be left to lead and what kind of promised land will there be if we ever get there.                             

Friends and readers. The race is on for  the post of chief executive and one of the candidates is director of everyones favourite department stealth and unsocial care Peter grabyourass. Pete clearly fancies his chances but we remind our readers that Pilton Sucks wrote an open letter to Mr. grabyourass on workplace bullying to which he convieniently ignored. Mr. grabyourass rules over a department which is riddled with workplace bully’s  like the two thugs our associate George uncovered, Hewitt and Kane.

But that matters not as Mr. grabyourass and the other candidates have only their careers in mind and nothing else. Do we need a chief executive, if Aitchison is anything to go by clearly not. This Labour appointment has managed to make this city a laughing stock with his ham fisted handling of election counts, and his holier than thou attitude.  Now of course he will be laughing all the way to the bank with his golden handshake and gilt edged pension. We wonder what the employees of the city who are facing an uncertain future think about that.

Grabyourass is just another careerist hoping to line his pockets at the taxpayers expense and have a nice title to go with it. His lack of management skills are there for all to see,  which very well might be enough to get him across the finish line and into the soft chair of the chief exec’s office. We offer a small bit of advice to Mr. grabyourass. Make sure that you have two party cards Lib-Dem and SNP and just in case make sure you have your application to join the Labour Party at the ready just in case.
