Incredible But True.
We have it on good authority that a major scandal in North Edinburgh is about to break. This will involve some high profile people who have directly benifited from council patronage.
We understand that a whistle blower is about to come forward and have his say. He has told us he is sick to death of the corrupt practices that have inflicted North Edinburgh and Greater Pilton in particular.
We are aware of some of his allegations and from what we know they ring true. Friends of councillors directly benifiting by securing employment. Party members[Labour party] directly employed in community projects,friends of councillors[and we have the names] whose project funding was made easier by their close association with councillors.
We have known for some time that dodgy dealing goes on hidden behind rules and regulations,and that projects have been kept afloat with public money,due mainly to private lobbying and sleazy practices.
We have been monitoring community projects for some time and we are well aware that some projects are better funded than others,and not because they are good projects but because of personal relationships.This may sound fine but in reality the money is granted on the nod,a you scratch my back i’ll lick your ass mentality.
We offer encouragement to this whistle blower to come forward and tell his story,it should make very uncomfortable reading for some. He has authorised us to tell you he is a former employee of a community project,which he states was funded far more than it should have been or warrented,and at one time was in such a mess it should have been closed,mainly due to incompetent management,but stayed afloat due to outside influences and back door deals.
Ring any bells does it.
