Hows That
Friends and Readers. If you not already aware Scotland On Sunday printed Scotlands power100. In 70th place was a chap by the name of Charles Hammond who is chairman of Forth Ports. Could this be the same Charles Hammond who is with Scottish Enterprise, if it is then this must be a direct conflict of interests, apart from plain greed.
Mr. Hammond is over seeing 400 acres of [quote] semi derelict land which will provide the base for the capitals new waterside quarter.
Does Mr. Hammond realise that Foriegn Labour is being used to turn this land into the new super duper all singing all dancing world. Why could he in his glass tower not have asked for local labour to be given a chance instead of cheap labour to maximise profits for themselves and their shareholders.
Under Hammond the companys value and share price has surged upwards in recent years, is it any wonder. Pilton Sucks.com asks the question, did councillor Mcginnis know about this and where does she stand on local employment, if she did know of this direct conflict of interest and said or done nothing, her position is surely untenable, as it is the community of Greater Pilton have and will not benifit as long as she remains in post.
Among her many other interests she is the council appointed chair of the waterfront board and has a duty to the people who she is supposed to represent, it is becoming more apparent, that they were taken for mugs and their representation is well down her list.
As the Labour party becomes more steeped in trouble it does not need politicians who swan around and hide behind the partys skirts. The Labour party is lost to these people and they will strangle it and blame everybody else.
So Mr Hammond will probably not lose any sleep about the ruling party asking any questions which he may find difficult to answer. In Fact quite the opposite as long as we have complacency in power the more these greedy individuals like Hammond like it.
