Snakes And Ladders
Well friends and readers as Greater Pilton settles down as part of the new Forth Ward,what is to become of us. Community activists must play a greater role to stop the activities of the old pals club who will infiltrate where ever the opportunity arises. Since losing their patrons at the election the old pals club have no-where to go. their careers where based on patronage and the old nod and wink mentality.
They are the snakes that went up the way while the other activists who had minds and opinions of their own where cast out and seen as trouble makers. The ladders where pulled away from them as secret meetings took place to decide who got what,and then played to look above board. Many knew this went on but had no way of stopping it,as the old pals club thought that they would rule forever.
Not so and a new dawn is upon us. The old guard will still try and command authority but it is over and not before time. This is the time for open decision making and embracing as many people as wish to take part.
Pilton Sucks has already stated that anybody who has a financial interest in a project should not sit on a board or a management committee. A financial interest is working for or managing a project,this has gone on for to long and raises suspicion that the old pals club is helping themselves and deciding who else can benifit from their generosity.
Pilton Sucks is watching closely and George one of our asscoiates will monitor any coming elections,to see what happens. George has already reported to us the dubious elections of the Royston/Wardieburn Community Council and overt political interference. This is the time to get rid of the bad smell which has lingered for far to long in Greater Pilton. We urge citizens to take control and get involved,for if you don’t the old pals club might try to regain control,and that would be to much to bear.
