Where Are You
As Bill nowght to do with meFitzpatrick plays hide and seek with the voters so they forget how useless he really is,it is left up to the discredited Councillor McGinnis and our man of principles and Mathew Corbett look alike Malcolm Chisholm to press the flesh. As Labour continues to flag in the polls Councillor and Waterfront queen McGinnis who has lost the trust and faith of many in the community due to her perceived shady dealings has only her dwindling band of hangers on to tell her how wonderful she is.
From talking to a number of people in the community the growing feeling is that she has abused her position as councillor to advance her own interests. Pilton Sucks believes that both Fitzpatrick and Ms. McGinnis should have done the smart thing and stepped down to avoid what might be humiliation at the ballot box.
We have reported to you over a period of time about the scandal surrounding the Infamous Muirhouse Social Work Centre,which both these councillors are well aware of,yet they do nothing,so what chance does anybody else have if they approached any of these two with a problem to deal with. Councillor Fizpatricks favourite party piece is his very own catchphrase nowght to do with me and then turn his back and walk away. He must be praying the voters forget the last four years of inactivity and back turning and return him for another four years of nowght to do with him.
While of course regular sucks reader and jinglin Geordies regular Fitzpatrick has been content to avoid dealing with anything problematic but seek the praise when something is achieved,our friend Waterfront Liz has been hard at it,not we may say in the interests of her punters,oh no that would never do would it? Instead Lizzie has built herself up a nice little earner but needs re-elected to continue raising her bank balance. How did she ever get away with it? But the time has come to put a stop to it,so don’t be fooled by a list of so called achievments.
She tells us that she wants more local employment on the Waterfront development,why now? why not from the start.When she is booted out a community chair should be put in place on the Waterfront board carrying the community message,not the secrecy that exists at the moment. Why after over 20 years will we be left with a legacy of high unemployment poor housing,poor health with some of the most shocking figures in the country. That is the legacy these two will leave behind,and they have the brass neck to ask for the voters trust once more.
Even their own election agent the disgraced former Tory leader Christine Richards,who was overheard in conversation with one of her Tory pals saying that it would be a miracle if Fitzpatrick and McGinnis where re-elected. We would not go that far but then again we don’t have a soft spot for the Torries like Ms. Richards does.
So as Lizzie and Malcs go door to selected door trying to save her skin and using Chisholm to do it,would it not have been more honest to just resign and go away. Chisholm of course is not safe either and his political savy has deserted him if he thinks Lizzie can help him get re-elected. Chisholm we have always found to be an aloof,snotty individual who gives the impression that he would not piss on you if you where on fire. All he is interested in is himself,testement to that is what he has actually done for this community.
The only reason he is standing is nobody stood against him in the re-selection contest if you can call it that. If somebody else had actually bothered it is likely he would not have been standing again, that proves his unpopularity within his own party,or what’s left of it. But we hope the people of the Forth ward come to their senses and rid this community of uselessness and blood sucking. We shall see.
