New Schools Proposal - The Wider Issues

I know what 'heckle' means Dadaist and freely admit that I showed my displeasure at the meeting being 'hijacked' by a member of the audience who was preventing the presentation from proceeding.

However, I did not heckle any of the panel, which included council officials and councillors, so yes, you are mistaken when you say you witnessed me 'heckling the councillors'.

I guess we must remember the incident differently.

You're right though that it would make no sense for you to heckle the presentation dudes, as you so obviously bat for their agenda!

Two wrongs don't make a right though - and your behaviour has shaped my thinking on what the conduct of CC meetings must be like (happy to be wrong on that count!) and also how strong the feelings are running over the schools issue.

Spoken like a true politician (1).

Footnotes

1. I hate politicians who give cynical and carefully worded answers. With the exception of that Nixon interview with Frost where he was honest for a bit, they'll never hold their hands up and admit that well, yes, they were a little bit bent and told a bunch of porkies.

Easter Road homes plan given the green light

Bob Alert :!:

Plans to build houses on a bowling green!! Is nothing sacred? Where's next?
(Though it's nice to see Ewan's getting to build houses somewhere! :lol:

)

No real connection with the school debate (though it does highlight the Cooncil's commitment to preserving 'green space', or lack therof - no doubt they'll replace it in Stirling or somewhere equally handy).

From the same article:

"Fionnuala Earley, Nationwide's group economist, said: "Edinburgh City remains the most expensive sub-region in Scotland.

"The average house price is 81 per cent higher than in the cheapest sub-region, Aberdeenshire and Moray.

"Edinburgh city is the only area in Scotland where the average price is above Â£200,000.

"It is a beautiful city and very good for employment especially with the financial services sector doing very well at the moment.

"There are always a lot of skilled workers coming into Edinburgh and that helps property growth continue. "

Yeah it seems like th council have really screwed Edinburgh up/ :roll:
