Rosendale: Marilyne MacLaren is “clueless”

It seems our premature release of the CLD review paper has caused all sorts of problems for the rulers of Children & Families. Our own Fraudster Rosendale is furious and blaming the politicians for Edinburgh Sucks publishing it and then the Evening News doing a follow-up saying the Unison, Edinburgh’s own toothless union, are getting slightly warm around the collar.

Politicians coming in for extra kicks in the chukkies include

Catch-up on front-line services slash

It seems our “exclusive” earlier this week on the slashing of front-line services in Community Learning Development (CLD) section of Children & Familes is really doing the rounds on the internet and in print publications in the city. Opposition politicians in the Council are up in arms that they have to come to rely on EdSucks towers to find out what they should be finding out in committee.

John Ross, service conditions convenor of the toothless union known as Unison (and also a member of the Council’s own management we have been informed) has joined the council and also shown his total disgregard for our city’s communities.

CLD front line services to be slashed

It seems that six Edinburgh community centres are going to have their front-line worker taken away in the latest slashing in Children and Families. Interestingly, the report that shows the slashing was only came out two days after the last Education, Children & Families Committee meeting and all the neighbourhood based paper-pushing Managers are all sitting happy in their jobs. EdinburghSucks revealed some time ago that the CLD Managers’ salary packages were ₤80,464 back in 2005/06

Prat Picture Papers - It’s Eric Teeth Milligan again

Yet another long-time leech politican proves that they would do absolutely anything to get their picture in the papers. The latest wheeze for the Evening News is to get the former Lord Provost, Eric (teeth) Milligan to stick his pinky up at Sainsburys - and the prat actually did it.
