Newsie, so’Political mischief-making’ is it??

How then would you describe three of your very own recent articles ?? Viz;

‘Council now restricts reasons why agenda item minutes are restricted’

‘Looks like a council reshuffle’

‘Senior officers failed to process Cowal Games grant extension’

Political mishief-making? – Pot,kettle, black.

Have a nice day :) :) :)

  • Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
    H20 – “Roddy is not fit to lead”.

    Much closer to the truth is the fact that the SNP are not fit to govern.

    I predict months of squabbling ahead as former ‘colleagues’ begin to really turn nasty.

    It’ll be interesting to hear Audit Scotland’s take on this. And also to hear more about the alleged improper conduct re the sale of Castle Toward – which has slipped in under the FA radar.

  • Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
    I see you’ve finally caught up Newsie and amended the story.

    If this is an accurate report of the split in the Council then you now have a split SNP with members in opposing camps.

    At least the split is now official…. :)

    How long before one faction or t’other is tossed out of the SNP? When we will see the emergence of the ‘Real SNP’ ???

    But really, what a shambles of a political party – I likened them weeks ago to the Judean Popular Peoples’ Front from ‘The Life of Brian’. The truth is though this has now gone way beyond parody.

  • Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
    What rubbish you print Newsie.

    “Since the names in the above group add up to 18 and exclude any current SNP members”

    Gordon Blair is a current SNP member as is Isobel Strong and Robert McIntyre.

  • Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
    So, Roddy McCuish has been appointed as the new Leader of the Council.

    Well that just puts me in mind of ‘you put your right hand in – right hand out – in out in out and shake it all about – you do the hokey cokey and you turn around – that’s what it’s all about. See’.

    Will the SNP rebels be happy with this now that McCuish, Semple, Horn, Taylor and Robb seem to have re-imposed themselves?

    H20 for one will certainly not be a happy budgie when he hears… :)

  • Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
    Graeme “I think we might have more regard for them”, blah, blah, pontificating blah.

    I think everyone might have more regard for your party and your views if the SNP if they hadn’t made such an unholy mess of their administration in the first place.

    The SNP are the problem here – not the solution!

  1. Even by any loose standard what she has done is disgraceful, spiteful and petty. Actually these are not the words I would use, I would use stronger however I want this comment to be published.

    A vote of no confidence comes to mind. Perhaps the dunoon and cowal councillors could sort this out.

    • Not being a Helensburgh resident, never having met this councillor, and watching the unfolding story of the interaction of local politics with local property deals and planning abuses I really wonder how Councillor Dance commanded enough support to achieve re-election.

    • Go back to the local election candidate lists and have a look at the number of candidates versus number of seats available, voting choice has little to do with it.

    • Helensburgh voters are not thick, I blame the local paper for spouting Dances and Margaret MacInnes’s nonsence and deceiving all the good people of Helensburgh. Finally people can now see what they are really all about.this article should be spread to theHelensburgh people so they can get the truth. Looking forward to Cowal as always!

  2. Councillor Dance is a vey close friend and business associate of Mrs MacInnes who runs the very profitable Helensburgh dancing school. Rottenburgh but it seems to be changing at last as Dance and conspirators being exposed. Dance was supported in her stunt by the other members of the coven – Councillors Morton and Morton Junior and the Tories.
    A local worthy described The Coven of Morton, Morton Junior and Dance as – Councillor Me, Councillor MiniMe and Councillor MeMeMe.

  4. I would have thought that Councillor Dance had more important things to do than worry about highland dancers from Helensburgh and Lomond not dancing at the Cowal Games.
    She should be asking the Chief Executive of Argyll & Bute Council why residents in Helensburgh & Lomond only receive a fortnightly uplift of the general waste whereas residents of Lochgilphead, Oban, Dunoon and Campbeltown still have their general waste bins emptied weekly.
    Council taxpayers (Band D equivalent) in Argyll & Bute all pay the same rate of council tax and should therefore ALL receive the same level of service.
