Dear Sirs
The SNP have made wild statements recently of their councillors’ attempts of trying to “split” the Western Isles Schools Project into smaller tenders – a false claim and a course of action which if it had taken place would have put other council projects at risk as well.
Council minutes reveal that in February 2008 the attempt by the SNP group was not about splitting the Schools contract, would have returned Schools money to the Scottish Government and would also have delayed or stopped the programme for all the following works:- Lews Castle, Harris House, Castlebay Fitness Suite, Lochboisdale Harbour Development, Manor Roundabout, Stornoway Town Hall and the Community Meals Service.
The tactics taken then by the SNP councillors look amazingly risky – and would not have helped the islands in any way. Their actions were either a cavalier disregard for projects across the islands or an idea with flawed logic which they have not ever explained. That proposal by the SNP group was defeated, thankfully, with only their own votes in its favour.
I trust the electorate remember this when voting
Yours faithfully
Matt Bruce
Chairman, Western Isles Labour Party
Ah . So its Bob Duncan is behind Heb Talk a vicious cybernat den that seems to be deserted of visitors – except himself. How sick.
He claims “Heb Talk is a blog which was launched to encourage discussion of topical issues affecting the Hebrides.” Nothing of the kind – thre is no balanced discussion. Just a place for him to rant in his own sick way . Alasdair Allan was still doing the rounds with big bob in the last few days – instead of being a government minister like hes paid to be. How sick is that ???
Remember this movie from a few years ago. I was reminded of it by Hebtalk – the only website with two visitors. Perhaps they are the Bob and Sue of the title. I think we should be told …
