It’s Not On

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Friends and readers. We have been informed from our source at the secure unit of Howdenhall that the senior in charge of Guthries Unit St Kathrines was disciplined for harassing a female member of staff. Rightly so but we are told that there was previous misbehaviour from this senior

The new acting principle John Stevens seems we are told is carrying on from where Frank the chancer Phelen left off, by threatening staff and trying to bar them from reading both Edinburgh and Pilton Sucks,not frightened of the truth are we John.

We are also told that a £5000 pound lottery grant was awarded to these units recently.hope that’s not to repair the doors that don’t work. we have it on good authority that a senior member of staff was caught cheating on a Social Work course,and was booted off rightly so. Our source tells us that fear grips these units in case any of this and more gets out. Well it is getting out and so it should this is taxpayers money being spent to look after vunerable childern.

So while the chancer Phelen or the preacher as his former staff nicknamed him hides away in the ever leaking Waverley Court keeping his fingers crossed that none of this shit sticks to him,it is clear who is responsible for the mis-management of these units Phelen himself,and of course what does the Council do with shitholes and wankers,why promote them of course and take then out of the firing line.

Our informant tells us that if there were a real investigation not the usual covered up job the council does all this and more would come out. So while Frankie boy tries to keep his head down while ass licking at the same time he should beware the shit stops at his door and a number of staff at these units would be more than happy to bring this chancer down.

Known Activities

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Friends and readers. Our associate George has received a short letter from a Social Work Centre in Gracemount Edinburgh. The letter contains a brief statement saying the writer and his/her colleagues knew what was going on at the centre in Muirhouse,and that some members of staff were being abused.

The letter also says that a couple of colleagues knew first hand what was going down in Muirhouse and had seen for themselves ill treatment of staff,particularly one member of staff who had been singled out for savage abuse at the hands of this thug.

We have authenticated this letter and we are happy it is genuine. So now we have two Social Work Centres where staff knew of the activities taking place in Muirhouse. And if you add the information we received from within that infamous centre that makes three.

How much more evidence does the Health And Social Care Department need to launch a major investigation into this sewage pit of a centre,and the thug who hides behinds it’s walls and the skirts of his manager. Our campaign to end the scourge of workplace bullying has gathered pace with support growing from many quarters,employees across the city are now more aware of this disease which can cause havoc in the workplace and misery to the victims.

As always we ask you to remain alert,and watch out,there may be a bully about. 

Hotting Up

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

Friends and readers. Our competition to find the mole/foe has several days left and the name count has risen to 35. The breakdown is as follows 20 with the same name, 8 and 7. We have a clear front runner for the mole/foe using the clues we gave you.

We have had a couple of questions about the competition which Pete and Anna are organising regarding the clues we gave out. Does Pilton Sucks know who the mole is? and if so how.

We used our own clues and came up with the name which 20 other entrants have although we could not possibly enter as that would be unfair. Overall those that have selected the correct name using the clues provided will be put into a hat and the winner will be chosen at random. We where hoping that Dave fatboy Hewitt the community job applicant would oversee the draw and pull the winning name from the hat. But alas we see that Dave’s name has come up a couple of times as the potential mole/foe so that rules him out.

So we will make it easy and just ask a member of the public to pull out the lucky winner. Our two organisers Anna and Pete cannot vote either as they set the clues and are sifting through the names. So keep voting things could change you never know.

P.S one vote per person we have noticed some eager beavers have voted more than once,keen but not allowed.     

Questions remain

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Friends and readers. The campaign that we have been running to end workplace bullying has received support from all parts of the country. This is a massive shot in the arm for the campaign to end this scourge and it all started as you know with a thug throwing his weight around in a Social Work Centre in Muirhouse Edinburgh.

As you know a number of employees suffered at his hands and we are told he still goes unpunished. For those that have shut their eyes and turned away you should all be ashamed of yourselves. We sincerely hope that those that have turned away from this disgrace can sleep at night. As you know we recently received a communication from Midlothian Council who tell us they will take a hard line on workplace bullying. George our associate who has lead this campaign has received another letter this time from Sunderland County Council who say that workplace bullying is an instant dismissle offence,and will tolerate no ill treatment of staff.

In fact they tell us that staff education on this subject is mandatory so no-one can be in any doubt about the consequences of bullying in the workplace. We are pleased to say that the lecturer brought in to tutor on the subject quoted Pilton Sucks as a positive movement against workplace bullying.

George tells us that he has at least three other letters in his mail box which he has yet to answer but all supporting our campaign to end this workplace scourge and bring the perpetrators to justice. So as questions remain about the dreadful events in Muirhouse our campaign goes on bolstered in the knowledge that support is coming in for our campaign.

So remember watch out there could be a bully about.  

Un-necessary Panic

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Friends and readers. Let us maintain a sense of reality. The panic that has gripped the nation over what is far from a fuel shortage is something to see.All you are doing is playing into the oil company’s hands. The prices will creep up and the daft panic stricken motorist will pay quite willingly for a few extra drops of fuel.

Relax panic breeds panic and if the queue at Morrisons in Ferry Road today is anything to go by then there will be a man made shortage. Leave the car at home take the bus or better still walk. If you have to travel any long journey take the train. The school run should be the first to go and the run to the shops to get the paper should go as well.

The addiction to the car is as bad a drug as Herion,only there is a substitute for Heroin to try and get you off the stuff there seems to be no cure or substitute for car addiction. Get some exercise improve your health think of the air that will not be polluted if you don’t use your car,even for a short while.

But alas this message will probably fall on deaf ears and the panic will remain and the greedy oil company’s will rub their hands together. God help us if there was a real crisis and society had to rely on calmness in a crisis. If the threat however remote that oil supplies could grind to a halt brings about hysteria as we are witnessing at the moment,what chance would we all have or certainly if we had to rely on each other to pull through,if witnessing these degrading scenes at the petrol stations are anything to go by then we are all doomed.

Lets pray the end of the world is not nigh,well at least until this minor skirmish is over. 

Dear Oh Dear

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Friends and readers.More information has reached us via our source at the secure units of Howdenhall and St Kathrines.It seems a resident set fire to a mattress and the fire alarms did not work. The first question to be asked is how did a resident have access to matches or a lighter. Secondly why did the fire alarms not work.

It also appears according to our source that some of the doors in the secure unit do not lock this is not acceptable. And as Frank the chancer Phelen has left for the haunted towers of Waverley court he has managed to get himself out of the firing line and dodged answering these and other serious questions.

Our source tells us there is more to come we wait with interest.   

31

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Friends and readers. Our name count in the competition to find the mole/foe has risen to 31. Out in front and clear favourite is the name that has now risen to 18 nominations.

The rest breaks down as follows. 7,5 and 2. Therefore we have eliminated the name with 2 votes. That leaves 3 in the running with nine days voting left. Remember only those names that have been put forward using the clues we gave you will be entered. For the record we have 10 spoiled names.

Rumour Has It

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Friends and readers. As you may know Frank the chancer Phelen the head honcho at the secure units of Howdenhall and St Katherine’s where he covered up major incidents,is no more. He has been spirited away to the sanctuary that is Waverley Court,to a promoted position no less.

Now Phelen who was according to an employee  sweating in case he was found out to have been covering up what was going on at these units. So he had his sweaty little tongue licking as much ass as he could in order to leave the sinking ship.

Now friends there appears to be a development unfolding. It seems there is to be a disciplinary hearing towards the end of May concerning an existing employee. We are told that at this so called disciplinary meeting paperwork, notes,and other evidence will be presented to show beyond doubt that Phelen was up to his neck in shit, and that documentation went missing files were altered and residents were put at risk. We are also informed that the Evening News and the Scotsman both of whom ran stories about these units could well be in line for a scoop.

This of course is just a rumour for the moment,but ring the 24th of May on your calender,rumour has it that is d-day.    

More Like It.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Friends and readers. Our associate George has received communication from Midlothian Council with regards to our question on their stance on workplace bullying.

It states clearly that any member of staff found to have bullied another staff member will be subject to disciplinary procedure and possible dismissal. The letter also states that under no circumstances will bullying be tolerated and subsequently they have a zero tolerance to workplace bullying.

This is more like it as our campaign to end workplace bullying reaches further out. George has now written to every council in Scotland asking the same question Midlothian has replied first, we will let you know when the rest do and what they say.

Remember be alert don’t let the bullys win. 

Community Moral

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Friends and readers. We in the Forth Ward will feel the coming economic storm much the same as many other deprived communities will. There is little real impact we can have and moral will understandably be tested.

During what will be stormy waters we still have more that unites us than divides us,and that is our strength. The old pals act has been booted out but the remnant’s remain and will fight hard to maintain their loosening grip. What is a tiny minority will cling to the past by a more two faced approach,which presents as willing to move forward but only on their terms.

It is clear splits will appear as the old guard move to crush rebellion by keeping their place people on side with a nod and a wink. We are running a fun competition at the moment but it has a sinister side to it. One obvious way that the old guard can continue to carry on is to breach confidentiality,an old method of control one that is designed to frighten those with minds and opinions of their own.

We would say this is a no win situation,for both parties and a truce be called before it gets out of hand, otherwise open warfare will result in the old guard vanishing which is no bad thing but leaving behind wounds that will be difficult to heal and at a time when the very survival of this community should be a priority.

The election aftermath has left a sour taste in some peoples mouths but the writing had been on the wall for a long time before that. The old guard feared for their positions of favour once their pals had been booted out,and this has caused unnecessary bad feeling amongst those that should know better. misinformation and down right lies have spread like wild fire and the real issues have been put to one side.

Pilton Sucks was a creation of those that felt enough was enough and the secrecy and old pals act who had run this community had to go. Now we have the aftermath where the old guard refuse to let go and will sink the ship and everybody on it regardless. What even the clever clogs amongst us seem to forget is that politics is a strange business and things can change quickly. What is in vogue today can be changed tomorrow as events change.

The old pals act had a good run for the taxpayers money,now they have to come to heel or we all pay the price.
