Quite right clapmadug. You don’t want your windies put in or your tyres slashed – or worse. I’ve been the victim of official wrath before. They get their henchmen to do things to you, then blame vandals or natural causes. So barking from your wee kennel’s a rerr idea. If slappy came out and said who HE was he’d probably get the sack. But I think he’ s a New Labour politician masel. He certainly sounds like one. You can spot these villains a mile off.

Clapper got the facts wrong. Simple. So what if I am a Council worker? If you want to argue about Council services come out in the open and put up in a genuine open and honest fashion. But that would then expose you to proper democratic debate instead of hiding behind anononymity.

Given the current number of council-owned two-tone-blue car-derived vans and larger commercials, both on our roads and parked overnight in the driveways of private houses, it really beggars belief that SLC Car Leasing Scheme vehicles are used by the lessees for anything other than personal purposes. With fuel now costing around £4.75 per gallon only a daftie would run his/her car on business for just 7p per mile.

And council workers are far from being daft.

No I am not a member of the Council’s lease car scheme. I would not wish to pay the huge amount of extra tax or receive only 7p a mile for business mileage. In a democratic society those who wish to slag of public servants should have the courage to identify themselves by name and not hide behind daft names like clapmadug. Who are you? What’s your agenda?

In every democratic society people have a right to ‘react’ to the conduct of those that govern them. For you to state that this sort of reaction is ‘rubbish’ implies searing contempt for democracy. It further suggests that you work for SLC and drive one of the costly leased cars featured in our video, a suggestion that your mindset, no less your profile, reflects vividly. Also telling is your contrast with ’spivs’ in the private sector, even though no one is ‘forced’ to pay for THEM.

Whatever next? South Lanarkshire TV anyone? LOL. Yes they have their own TV channel. George Orwell must be laughing somewhere!! It gets better and better – meanwhile I still await a new wheelie bin, thats 3 weeks now and they wont lift black bags unless you phone them on the morning of collection but you need to be clairevoyant in order to phne before the Bin Lorry has left the depot!! LOL. I am glad to have a sense of humour!! A day in the life at South Lanarkshire Council.

Sorry Clapmadug but this is just reactionary rubbish. You misrepresent a scheme to allow workers who are required to have a car for business and who are then taxed heavily for the benefit and receive a much reduced mileage rate for business journeys. It has been closed to new entrants for 4 years and is now being withdrawn. What about attacking the perks of the spivs who get flash cars and holidays selling us dodgy insurance and mortgages instead of attacking hard working public servants.

Another good video clapmadug. They certainly know how to be good to themselves at SLC. I bet they stopped the scheme in the aftermath of all the hoo-ha about MPs expenses and stuff.
