It is always of interest to know what dodgy behaviour that our elected rulers are up to. Labour is up to it’s neck in cash for honors sleaze,with no signs of it dissapearing. Far from Blair leaving on a high note it is more likely that he will end like as a John Major type figure weighted down with sleaze and dirt. Buying favours and privilidge is more than sleazy it is down right immorral.
As the poor punters of this country try to pay their way under increasing burdens of taxation with more to come the great and the good can buy and crawl their way to a easier life,and then preach to the rest of us about the need to work hard and look after your families. MPs caught with their trousers down or fingers in the till is nothing new in fact we have come to accept politicians are in the first instance bent.
Cabinet ministers who hold the highest of public offices are caught up in underhand dealings lying and cheating the public and then trying to justify it. Not just in national office are politicians hard at it,but as we know only to well at local authority level as well. Naughty goings on at the Waterfront development under the stewardship of our old friend Empress Mcginnis. Common good assets sold off to the highest bidders, local people shoved to one side and left to stew in a pool of lies and deceit.
All done in the name of the people, we can only shake our heads in disbelief at the utter contempt that our rulers have for us. Officials running wild and allowed to do whatever they want to. Little or no political control as council departments do what they like with little or no accountability. Labour have lost the will to lead,as we have seen by so many taking the money and running. So much for looking after the punters interests,looking after your own interests is much more like it.
No friends we need a complete clear out of the old guard and a new fresh inititive brought to local politics. Our Sister site Edinburgh Sucks also calls for change and a need to get rid of these sleazy no-goods who bring politics into disrepute. Our old friends Empress Mcginnis and nowght to do with me Fitzpatrick have refused to release their grip on office, and will try and rely on loyalty from voters who traditional support Labour,but this may be fools gold,as the voters are well aware that all is not well in Greater Pilton and somebody has to carry the can,interesting times.
Labour or any other party do not have a right to office but have come to expect it. Greater Pilton like many other working class communities have been conned into voting Labour time after time,only to be slapped in the face for their loyalty. No the wind of change is blowing in this direction and we confidently expect to see someone come forward to challenge the old guard. And why not surely this is a democracy and debate should be welcomed,choice should be embraced and encouraged,not sneered at
