Going Up In Smoke

Sunday, March 19th, 2006

Friends and readers. Come March 26th smoking in public places will be banned. We at PiltonSucks.com welcome this and would encourage all smokers to try and give up the dreaded weed.

The health of the nation is important as without your health it is very difficult to achieve anything. We realise that smoking is very addictive and is extremly hard for some people to pack it in. By banning smoking in public places this may be the incentive that you need to stop.

On the other hand we are in danger if we are not careful of being told how to live our lives and along with the fact that the government rakes in a huge amount of tax from the sale of tobbaco there is a feeling of hypocracy involved. Given that the policy has the desired effect and cuts down on smoke related illnesses where does the lost revenue come from.

Here is a thought.If smokers take the plunge and ultimatly give up and therefore possibly live longer, who pays for their pensions when they reach retirement age.  So why does the government not ban the sale of alcohol and help to put a stop to alcohol related deaths and the social problems that over indulgance brings with it. Why not ban gambling and save punters from them selves or are these social activities regarded as harmless vices.

Alcohol and gambling destroys families leaving a trail of destruction in its path but nothing is done to prevent this. Quite the opposite our noble councillor and foreign holiday queen Elizabeth Maginnis supports the idea in fact is a leading advocate of bringing a cassino down to the waterfront, strange is it not. Never mind do not worry both gambling and drinking will not be banned and nor it should be.

All we are saying is were does government control of our lives stop, George Orwell described a vision of control in his novel 1984. We are fast reaching that point were our noble rulers decided everything that is both bad and good for us. all we have the pleasure of is paying for it one way or another.

Two things in life are certain death and taxes thank god the third thing is not certain-continued mis-rule from the peoples party.

Jack Frost and his Friends

Friends and Readers, as you look out of your window this morning the snow is falling and looks likely to stay for a little while. So of course you will turn to your fires and  thermostats to heat up your home. Well by now you will have had your fuel bills and the glee on the faces of the utility companies will be hard to hide. They will take delight in telling you that due to circumstances beyond their control prices will have to rise, and you will have to pay.

We could go into the story of how succesive governments squandered the resources of the north sea but we wont, it is to sad a tale and would depress you. But we will tell you that the United Kingdom is a very rich country yet we have citzens who are frightened to turn the heating on in case they cannot afford to pay it, and who in the main are we talking about?  of course you already know poor working class people the very people whose backs this country was built on, and who now are feeling the brunt of their toil.

What a farce gutless politicians doing nothing but cheap talk they can afford to heat their homes, they do not worry about having to turn the themostat up oh no they just do it. What do we elect them for if they are going to do nothing but talk what are they frightened of, surely not of the utility companies,those greedy creatures who like bullys thrive on fear but will recoil if taken on face to face.

We do not want crap schemes that are a bureurocratic nightmare, the citizens want to be protected against these profiteering crooks, who would comfortably sit back and watch the weakest die through cold and fear. They would blame the government as they always do, so take them on have some back bone deliver for the people, do not just sit back in your comfortable homes well heated against the outside elements, force them to cap their prices do not give us dum excuses for doing nothing while the people suffer.

Lazarowicz.jpgHow many more winter deaths do we have to witness before the message gets home. So as you look out of your windows Mr. Chisholm and Mr. Lazarowicz spare a thought for those less fortunate than yourselves and urge your colleagues to stand up for the people they are so keen to represent and take these parisites on, people might just have a little more respect for you. Do not hide away and dodge the issue we know you are good at that, do something positive for the punters fight their corner-come on you know you can do it.

Self Publicists

Friday, March 10th, 2006

 Friends and Readers.This months NEN      is now available and upon reading it we were astonished to see two pages 6 and 7 devoted entirely to our rulers. Now as we read through their words of wisdom it would seem that this community is mistaken in thinking that we have any kind of social or economic problems.

In fact it would appear to be if you are gullible enough to believe it that all in the garden is rosey, and as long as we are fortunate enough to have the three stooges Hinds Fitzpatrick and our queen of foreign holidays Elizabeth Maginnis lording over us we can sleep soundly in our beds.

Somewhere they forget to mention about the appalling unemployment in the community the bad housing the state of the streets and pavements the poor health of some of our citizens due amongst other factors the low standard of living they have to endure. It is no use painting a pretty picture for after 20 years of local authority rule our Labour masters have let us down badly and should be honest enough to admit it and stand aside to allow others to try.

But oh no they will not give up, greed is a terrible thing and all three have been infected with it so the people will have to stand up and be counted and throw them out. Pilton Sucks. com believes with a growing number of people that a community candidate or candidates should come forward and show these lame ducks a clean pair of heels, in fact it is now clear that after 20 years of blaming somebody else they have failed to deliver the goods.

They have failed us on employment , they have failed us on housing, they have failed us on being honest, and of course they have managed to exclude the community from having any involvment in the waterfront development, the peoples party excluding the very people they pretend to represent.How much more do you think this community will suffer before they say enough is enough for gods sake go.

And of course or communitys saviour the knight in shining armour Mr. personality himself Malcolm moral coward Chisholm who would sell his soul to stay in his constituency seat, He should be ashamed of himself, instead of patronising the punters with his condisending attitude and middle class aspirations, he should get off his ass and do something to help solve this communitys problems, but no just sly underhand sniggers and boring speeches telling us what a wonderful job he is doing, so wonderful in fact that we should be jolly grateful and bow down in his over bearing presence.

What a bunch feeding off each other frightened to do anything positive just in case it does not go down well with the ever decreasing membership of the party.

Whos left, of course Mark Lazarowicz all things to all people not a person to be trusted even less so than the other four wasters. How often have the punters in Greater Pilton ever seen Lazarowicz, not many he is more interested in the guardian readers of stockbridge or the cheap wine drinkers of bellvue, sleazy character do not turn your back on him.

 Well all in all they are a sorry bunch of misfits drinking the trough dry and spiting it at the punters calling it progress, yeah right,progress you lot cannot see past the next vote and we have been mug enough to fall for your lies and deceit.

But friends and readers get sense see past these plastic people and their careerism they can only get where they want to go on your backs and by god they will jump on your back at every opportunity, so do not fall for that friendly old pat on the back or the odd invite to some cheap and nasty social do where you can be put on parade to be sneered at as second class citizens by those mindless idiots who stay in a better?neighbourhood and have to put up with these working class types for an evening, how awful for them.

But they too should notforget that these working class types pay most of the taxes under labour are subject to penal levels of local taxation under labour suffer the worst housing conditions under labour have unprecedented crime levels under labour and put up with second best on most things under the peoples party. So the next time your pretensious middle class M.Por wannabee middle class M.S.P look down their nose at you thinking you will not realise because they are smarter than you, just remind them they are employed in the main by those working class types they so detest.

Anti-Social MP And MSP

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

Lazarowicz.jpgHas anyone seen our MP Mark Lazarowicz or our MSP, the aloof and arrogant, Malcolm Chisholm. We know that Mr. Lazarowicz is wrapped up in furthering his carreer but he should remember that he has the distinction of managing to slash labours majority in the constituency to its lowest ever and if he is not careful he will be removed by the very people he is ignoring.

As for our erstwhile MSP there is no words fitting, to describe his lack of interest in the people he proposes to represent. It is allright Mr. Chisholm to suck up to and fool a few well meaning community activists and of course the almost non existant local party membership. It is another matter when he to concentrates on his fading career and has done absolutely nothing for this community in his laughable role as Communities Minister.

chisholm.jpgIf ASBOS are to be handed out then instead of hounding working class kids who they say they represent look at real measures of investing in our futures both at uk and scottish levels - hand the asbos to Lazarowicz and Chisholm for their anti-social behaviour and their reluctance to get their hands dirty. So come out of your ivory towers and get involed with whats happening in the community not just stay close to those parasites who cling to your every word hoping to replace you at the first opportunity

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH and every other month

The great “Affordable Challenge”

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

Well friends and readers, PiltonSucks.com would like to offer a challenge to any member of the community. There are no particular ground rules, you can phone a friend you can hold a public meeting and ask the audience you could even be daring enough to question your elected member at his or her surgeries.

The challenge is simply this, who will be the first person to spot an affordable house on the new waterfront development.  Of course you would not expect the challenge to be that easy, although you have we believe, more chance of landing on the moon.  That aside there is a supplementry question.  If or when you spot this very elusive affordable home you have to guess how much it will cost,easy is it not?

We at PiltonSucks.com are so confident that no-one will be able to win this challenge we are putting up this fabulous once only offer.

One month from today if no-one has spotted and costed an affordable home PiltonSucks.com will ask our elected members to resign all at once Messers Fitzpatrick, Maginnis and Hinds.  Oh and of course, Mr. Communities Minister and moral coward Chisholm.

PiltonSucks.com are reasonable people we will give you a clue in your hunt for this prized treasure.

We were promised 23% of homes built would be affordable, should not be too hard to find one then should it?
