Pilton Sucks dotCom

Well Well Councillor Mcginnis tells us mere mortals that the Waterfront Development has to involve the community more than it is.

Well thats rich coming from someone who has kept secret what is really happening,and has herself tried her best to make sure communication between the developers and the community is kept to a bare minimum.

So why the sudden change of heart,could it be she is worried that her little empire will crumble around her come election day,and she had better do something quick before she gets tossed out of office.

Its to late Liz you have been found out,you are no friend of the community,you have regularly proved that.

No local jobs,no affordable housing, nothing but a tissue of lies and deceit,and it is now coming back to haunt those that promised much but delivered nothing.

Councillor Fitzpatrick does not escape either. Ask him a question regarding the Waterfront,and he will utter his usual its nothing to do with us excuse,but hold on,friend Billy blames European Legislation for restricting the use of local labour,did no one think that this could be challenged directly.

No of course not,that would have meant upsetting their new friends the developers,and we could not have that could we.

So what is abundantly clear,is that our elected rulers done nothing to prevent widescale developing,going unchecked,and freedom to do what they pleased.

We could have if the political will had been there,challenged any European ruling regarding the use of local labour,and forced the issue,given that Greater Pilton is an uemployment blackspot.

So once again we are sold down the river,told lies to and asked to swallow it as there is nothing else to be done.We are the big losers in all this,while the developers and their politician pals are the winners.

But wait on. The local elections are almost upon us and it would seem from conversations in the community that there will be a challenge to the ruling elite.

And Chisholm the communities minister[thats a laugh] cannot run and hide either. They must think we are all fools and will continue to back the ruling elite. Wrong there is a mounting campaign for a challenger to come forward and challenge Chisholm and his record of doing nothing on theWaterfront issue.

Do not be fooled by a few back slapping individuals who think that Chisholm is their friend. He is not. He is ruled by a handful of nonentities,who reselected him,only because there was no challenger.

We are fed up with the cronies of the ruling elite who are more than happy to rule over decay and dis-satisfaction,while quite happy to allow a free hand to greedy developers who would in an instant change their mood to suit the political climate.

We need people who will take these people to task,force the issue of local labour and insist yes insist that priority be given to those who live within  a five mile radius.

Our plucky politicians will tell us that is not possible it is against the law,a law which you have refused to challenge,because it does not suit you to do so.

Yet it is perfectly all right to bus in cheap foreign labour from god knows where. Go up some morning and watch the gangmasters pick the workers for the day. It could become a tourist attraction. It usually takes place in Ferry Road close to the Crewe Toll roundabout at about 7.00am/7.30am.

What have our politicians got to say about that.Of course they will deny any knowledge,but we know,so why dont you,and while you are at it put a stop to it,or as Councillor Fitzpatrick would say ITS NOTHING TO DO WITH US.
