Craigmillar has been gang raped

By The Basa ⋅ June 2, 2006 ⋅

The people of Craigmillar were last night raped by the long time employed community workers of the area when the Returning Officer of the Craigmillar Community Council election, himself an employed worker for the community against the advice of City Councillors, City Officials, MSPs, MEPs and against the wishes of the People of Craigmillar decided to go ahead with the group section of selecting the Craigmillar Community Council.

Last Thursday, as many of you know, the people of Craigmillar went to the ballot box and voted in record numbers to have their community back. Last night that democratic process was shredded and the people were raped in full view of the council officials and community representatives by a band of fraudsters, liars, cheats and Nazis.

The group nominations were, in some of the few true words of Craigmillar Councillor Jack O’Donnell at the Labour Group Executive Meeting on Monday, stuffed.

Councillor O’Donnell’s words rang true last night when the residents of the area walked out of the ballot, refusing to vote in a rigged election. The fraudsters, liars, cheats and Nazis then all cast their votes for their 20 or so groups who said they wanted a seat at the the community council. Unfortunately, when the votes were counted, it seems that these groups didn’t want the seat at all, because the 8 elected got the votes of all of the fraudsters, liars, cheats and Nazis who have been spending the money that has poured into the area for decades.

The council, the Scottish Executive and every single politician representing, in any way, the people of Craigmillar let their constituents down extremely badly at the Jack Kane Center last night and must now hang their head in shame as politicians - even although we know that some did try to help us.

The council officials who attended the count last night carried out their task bravely and it showed on all of their faces, as it did on the faces of members of the community, that they were watching Edinburgh moving from a democratic city to a reich controlled by a polit bureau.

Over 8,000 people in the Greater Craigmillar are today waking up to the fact that they now must live their lives knowing that they now have true real life experience proving to themselves that the democratic process they participated in last week was a complete sham. To make it worse, the polit bureau who perpetrated this rape on the community were, in the majority, highly positioned paid workers who had been taking the community shilling for many, many years and had passed themselves off as community ‘leaders’.
