Pilton Sucks dotCom

Friends of PiltonSucks.com and fellow readers we in greater Pilton are about to enter into an elaborate hoax, namely, community councils. It is important that residents understand, as they did in the stock transfer debate and subscequent vote that anything that our rulers think is the best thing since sliced bread are merely being led up the proverbial garden path.

Democracy is not in the gift of our great and visionary leaders who promise you mana from heaven only to find that you have been eating stale bread all along.

Community councils are being forced upon us in someone elses vision of democracy, you will have less say as the desicions are moved further away from you and become more centralised. One reader here wrote that the decisions in this community are taken by a handful of people.

Let me enlighten you there are almost certainly only three people who meet privately and take the important decisions in this community Ms. Hutchison, who has commented here guessed two of them there is one other a lady by the name of Christine Docherty, unelected to anything employed to serve the people of greater Pilton, however certainly does anything but that.

If there were to be true democracy in these community councils we the people who are after all the real power could call these power mad people to account.  But will we be able to do that, of course not, don’t be so silly.  It will only be a talking shop designed to hem you in and stiffle ideas leaving Ms Docherty Ms Pickering and Ms McGuinness and their hangers-on to take the real decisions.  Those three, make the decisions and their hangers-on hand them down. So tell me friends and readers, where are your community councils in all this activity, very simply, nowhere.  Just a group of well meaning people kidding themselves on that they are movers and shakers and shapeing community policy.  Nothing could be further from the truth. 

Until you rid yourselves of the parasites feeding off this community, and you know who they are, then you will just be fed scrapes from the masters table beggars at the feast.

 

Are the people of North Edinburgh aware that NEAR in the guise of Christine Docherty has turned down a scheme in which young people would be trained in constructiopn skills.

Edinburgh South picked up the scheme and we lost out without any consultation with the community. What right does she have to turn employment down for a community desperate for jobs. Obviously she should be accountable to us not herself.
