Ewan Aitken

The story of the Mole has a hole

So, Who is the mole? Imaginary?

Former council leader, the infamous Ewan “Rasputin” Aitken has been positively beaming of late. He has, he tells us, a mole in the SNP group in the Council and he just couldn’t wait to tell all and sundry around the world of the existence of said mole. It did bring a chuckle to our otherwise boring day waiting for Wendy Alexander to become the MSP for Cornton Vale.

What this ‘mole’ thinks about the Hippy Rev. splattering their conversations all over his blog with such glee is only left to our immagination. However, it does give observers a good insight into the behaviour of politicians who will trample over anyone just to gain a small point.

Initially last Monday under the headline “Jaikets and shoogly nails spring to mind…” he informed the readers of his blog that “it says something about the state of that group that I even have a mole!” when telling us about the discontent in the SNP group because they don’t have a leader who has been in the SNP “for longer than 20 minutes.” Now we at EdSucks towers have ourselves heard of some discontent ourselves but nothing at all firm so we didn’t post it. We also believe that if there was any discontent a high percentage of the people who work around the City Chambers would be aware of it.

There had obviously been quick chats going on during the week and on Saturday he informed his global audience of his latest updates from the mole. My mole tells me that there has been heavy lobbying of the Council SNP group by members of the Holyrood group on the new schools issues but all it has produced is increased frustration on both sides. Now is that News? One would surely be expecting the Scottish Nose Pickers both in Holyrood and the Council to be fighting to get the new schools built after the furore we had last year. One would also expect the SNPickers on the Council to be demanding all and the SNPickers in Holyrood to be seeing how much money was available in the budget.

Now, Ewan Aitken should know all about this because didn’t his administration ask his Labour colleagues in Holyrood for the same thing in the last Parliament and were told they had to wait until this parliament before any money was promised and forget to tell the citizenry of the city that fact. We had to learn it at FMQs when the letter to Aitken’s administration was read out.

Then moving on to YooAnn’s latest post:
It appears that some-one in the SNP group on the Council thinks they know who my mole is and is sending suggestions to all and sundry to tarnish the name of their assumed target… but that some-one is way way off the mark!

Now we know a little, nay a lot about this one. In fact, over the past few days EdSucks have been receiving various emails about the Mole posts with people suggesting possible candidates.

Nobody was trying to tarnish anyone’s name unless of course if you are Aitken’s mole you are tarnished and his theory that it is “some-one” in the SNP group is totally made up, and of course the suggestion that it was sent to all and sundry is totally crap as well as you will all be shown.

One email we received from A. Molar read:

Because someone associated with EdSucks thought they knew the possible candidate we let our fingers do the walking courtesy of VirginMedia. The “wee wummin” doon xxxx way denied being the mole but did inform the Hippy Rev and asked for a copy of the email which was obviously forwarded to the now proven liar politician. The “wee wumman” also asked the “lying politician” to post on his blog that she wisnae the mole. We do know that the email came from a computer in the Council but that is all.

We love it when we prove the politicians liars – however, that joy is tempered slightly when those same liars are also men of the cloth. Maybe Rasputin (the man who for years stood behind, supported and promoted Fraudster Rosendale) is going to follow his former leader, Tory Bliar hitch up to catholicism so that a couple of Hail Mary’s on a Saturday morning after confession and all these porkies will just melt away.

Whilst we are on the subject of Aitken’s blog, regular readers will remember when we last mentioned comments disagreeing with him were regularly deleted from his previous blog. He of course denied the fact to the Evening Chip Paper “”I have not deleted anything from my blog.” However 7 months later during the election campaign when he stopped giving a daily update on the campaign not only did he delete the comments disputing his point of view – he deleted all the comments and closed his blog for comments.

We have also been emailed, a number of times recently by a blogger going by the name of, we kid you not, brainforidiotapplyewanaitken has put a comment on Aitken’s blog and that has not been deleted. It is just that if you want to comment on Ewan Aitken’s blog, he must approve all comments. The ones he doesn’t agree with him end up in the trashcan of cyberspace. Nice open and transparent politician – yeah right.

The question now remains. Is there a mole or is it all the figment of a powerless opposition politician’s imagination.

Complete Twat and a Half

P.S. We stuck the picture of the idiot sitting beside the taxi in the graphic above in as a prime example of how stupid politicians are. Can you imagine the Chip Paper photographer saying, “OK Mr. New SNP Coonsillor sit there looking stupid alongside yer taxi wae the Union Jack.” This is going to work wonders for your political career. Here is a bigger version – Twat + 1/2.
