Comment posted No substance to political mischief making on Helensburgh dancers and the Cowal Games by Simon.
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

- SNP meeting on Monday may be testing time for mega-coalition proposal
Guess the identity of the “Third Party”. It wouldn’t be an ex-senior Cllr (now no longer a member of the SNP) but very likely to be re-instated very soon would it??I’m trying to be circumspect about his identity but if it is him (and I think it’s a him) then it would have the added benefit that the SNP wouldn’t have to throw out all the “Vote Mike” badges they have in stock when McKenzie is de-selected……
- Walsh to lead all but Lib Dems, Conservatives and George Freeman
The SNP are incompetent and impotent.For all their promises and posturing their nasty little civil war, whilst it might be over, is far from forgotten. Who could forget that the SNP ‘record’ to date has been w-e-l-l inglorious at best.
In less than a year they’ve :-
‘Lost’ two Leaders,
‘Lost’ two Councillors,
Local branches attacked their Leader and his policies,
The SNP Constituency Chairman tried to persuade SNP Cllrs to vote against their own SNP budget proposals
SNP supporters have attacked other SNP Cllrs calling them “Traitors” and “duplicitous”
Lost the Administration
Behaved like a slut jumping in and out of bed with a variety of partners in a vain attempt to cling to power
Finally, and despite having the largest number of Cllrs – Dick Walsh looks likely to be back in charge – with the SNP reduced to a supporting role.SNP: incompetent and impotent.
- James Robb, as the cordite clears
Gobbells knew if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it.That’s why it’s important to stop Fletcher of Buffoon when he lies. For example “Anyone suggesting that Dick Walsh should be brought back in or that the Con-Dems are given a whiff or power again… They almost caused the bankruptcy of the Council”.
Lie. Untrue. Lie. Fabrication. Lie. Never happened. Lie. Economical with the truth. Lie. SNP. Lie.
Dick Walsh’s budgets were all passed with no dissenting voice and there was never any question of the Council almost being made bankrupt under the previous administration.
Fletcher’s claim is a complete and utter SNP lie.
The Buffoon might have wished that was the case – but it never was. Given the on-going omnishambles of a pantomime that the SNP have visited on Argyll – you would’ve thought the SNP would’ve learned that humility and honesty can go along way – but they haven’t they still lie.
- Withdrawals move numbers against proposed new coalition
Dave, we all know that individual SNP members are being contacted and informed ‘that if you support this coalition you will be expelled from the party’.So Trail, Lousie Glen (“the most duplicitous person I’ve ever met”: Breslin) Sandy Taylor and the other “traitors” have “also refused to follow Robb” not from principle or conviction but from coercion.
Doesn’t really bode well for the future now does it….

- Proposed posts for proposed new council coalition administration
Newsie, “Councillor Kinniburgh sees what we believe is his first ever sniff of power – as Depute Lead Councillor for Planning and Regulatory Services – the traditional honeypot brief.~”What you mean by “the traditional honeypot brief” ??

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.

I too have experience of Cllr Dance and the words I would use are probably even stronger than yours.

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!

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.

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.
