Reports in today's gutter press, ( least we forget ). Claim that the Labour Party, banned Councilor Purcell from standing in the 2008 by-election, as it appears that, they were aware of his problems. Concerns of a cover up, stretching all the way down to London, are being aired. Speculation remains rife, The stubborn refusal of the leadership to come clean, at least with the facts, serves only to throw, fuel on the fire. This is not about Steven Purcell, I hope he makes a full recovery, and goes on to find a relatively happy life, albeit outside the corridors of power. This current saga only serves to remind us, of the betrayal of a party ,who claim to represent the poor. Yet apparently wine and dine at the taxpayers expense, yet this is hardly suprising or a new and unexplained phenomenon now, is it ?
Personally, I'm sick to the back teeth of our extremely limited choice, when it comes to electoral representation. Pick the
lesser of the evils isn't democracy, it's dictatorship. A one sided coin, thrown by the powers that be, and we obligingly scramble for the crumbs. Scotland has an opportunity at this point in time, not only to achieve independence, but too radically reform our own blend, of what is morally acceptable, to the people of Scotland.
