It’s overwhelming - 97% say Rosendale Out!

By The Basa ⋅ February 21, 2006 ⋅

Yesterday’s poll on EdinburghSucks.com was overwhelming. 1,124 people cast a vote and the result was overwhelming (The results are here). 1,087 voted that Mike Rosendale should be fired with a measly 37 voting against it. Although this poll was not scientific, it is an amazing result and it sends a message to Ewan Aitken to take action now! In the interests of openness, we have to admit that everyone here at EdinburghSucks.com voted for the firing.

What was most amazing was the amount of people behind the Council’s firewall who voted in the poll. EdinburghSucks.com was inundated with visitors from the Council’s IP addresses yesterday which shows that there is extreme interest in the case from council employees themselves - thank you all for your votes and emails of support and supplying more information.

Some quotes:

“Ask the question, how come she got a top job in Community Learning and Developement when her husband is head of that area in the Children and Families Department. “

“Your information is right the stuff about the smear campaign is absolutely correct.”

“Keep up the fantastic work”

“the Christine MacKay thing is spot on!!! “

“You are of course spot on as usual, but will anything be done about it so long as Aitchison, Jobson, Anderson, Hinds, Aitken and their protectors are in charge, and when they will effectively be investigating themselves? Doubt it somehow, but i may be wrong … hopefully.”

“Ask what Unison are doing about this - they are letting down the members. Their Secretary’s wife is also the secretary to the Labour group in the Council.”

“and everybody is scared because of the whistleblower case because if they say something the know their arse will be out the door, even people with 20 years service”

Several other areas of inquiry have surfaced and there will be more on this story.
