		<description><![CDATA[is basa real? It seems that one of our high profile councillors is indeed in crisis &#8211; none other than Elizabeth &#8216;Bunty Backhander&#8217; Maginnis.Â Â  Thought to be currently holidaying in Spain according to her blog, it also seems the Forth councillor, who only got in at the last election by the slime that surrounds her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[is basa real? Well, well, well.Â  The Evening News has finally found out about the spending down at the Waterfront.Â  Front page headlines telling part of the story and one wonders why the leaks to the Evening News seem to be coming out a little at a time.Â

		<description><![CDATA[is basa real? This became worthy as a post because it seems that the truth was being set aside and the press release would reign supreme.
The former councillor Lezley Cameron-O&#8217;Brien (as was) and now just Lezley Cameron has been invited back into the labour fold.Â  Nobody is really sure why, however, she always was the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[is basa real? First of all.Â  Councillor Maginnis we got the email from the (trainee) solicitor asking us to remove certain posts.Â  When our legal advisors pick themselves up off the floor and stop laughing they will draft a reply.
Meanwhile, what&#8217;s this about you taking Â£175k consultancy fees from the Waterfront when you were actually [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[is basa real? Trevor &#8216;Dick Dastardly&#8217; Davies, the former planning leader, dismally unsuccessful candidate for council leadership and failed-at-the-ballot-box ex-councillor has not shut up just because his electorate have told him to go away.
