Same Old Same
Well what a suprise,your friend and ours Keith Geddes pal and consultant to his political cronies has put himself forward,yes you read that correctly put himself forward as a candidate for the soon to be vacated seat of Musselburgh and East Edinburgh.
So much for new people being pushed forward for the Scottish Parliment,just the same people brought out of mothballs offering us the benifit of their vast self promoting expertise,which they want to inflict on us,the poor mug punters.
We already know that Auntie Lesley Hinds is desperate for the seat,and has already shown her hand,but the arrival of Grand Duke Geddes on the scene has thrown a spanner in the works. Mr. nice guy tells us that he has a lot to offer, but his previous attempts at parlimentary seats,have shown that the punters do not seem to agree with his own version of devine deliverance.
So we are in for a dog fight as one or two others have shown an interest in the seat,a seat as it happens may not go Labours way,so it may just be a futile exercise, in false promises and half truths, as the back stabbing begins in earnest.
We have no real interest in who wins,but we see it as a wasted opportunity to bring in new people and fresh ideas,something sadly lacking in the Scottish Executive.
So our advice to Keith is to carry on making those big bucks consulting with your mates,and giving them your wit and wisdom,that to may be short lived as locally Labour could go to the wall,but then again you may have seen the writing on the wall,and are jumping ship as well.Â
