FirstFoot has incontrovertible evidence
that the Labour Party in Scotland has lost the plot.
We have a situation which is so laughable,
that we have no alternative but to say to them: "You'ze is aff yer
heids."
And how did we arrive at this sorry state
of affairs ?

The
way The Scottish Labour Party sees the Project Managers role
|
Because, the Project manager who was
appointed by a Labour led Executive, to oversee the construction
of the Scottish Parliament, Alan Ezzi, has been replaced by a Civil
Servant.
Not just any old Civil Servant, but one,
Sarah Davidson, with a political history of supporting the Labour
Party in Scotland.
Could this possibly be a case of jobs
for the boys (or girls) ?
Ezzi, was appointed from a short list
of 48 other candidates, because of his experience of delivering
major building projects.
Understandably, this was considered to
be an essential factor when the post was advertised last year.
Ms. Davidson has no experience of construction
projects. Sorry, just in case you didn't get that .... Ms. Davidson
has no experience of construction projects ...... hmmmmmm
Horribly, FirstFoot even finds itself
supporting "Bankrupt" Montieth.
When the corpulent chappie asked whether
any of the other 48 candidates short-listed at the time of Mr. Ezzi's
appointment had been considered before the appointment of Ms Davidson,
John Home-Robertson, the Minister responsible, refused to answer.

What
Parliament thinks the new Project Manager looks like.
|
Bankrupt stormed from the Parly saying:
"This is a farce."
And he should know.
David Black, an authority on the project
and an author of a book on the subject, said: "This is a poisoned
chalice and they are dropping her into the gap. She is in no position
to manage this. They need someone with serious experience under
their belt."
Mr. William Armstrong, a former project
manager who was involved in the original Holyrood brief but resigned
in 1998, wiznae far aff the mark when he said: "The problem is the
agenda. The building is going to be built whatever it costs and
however long it will take."
Estimated completion costs have risen
from circa £ 50 million to £ 300. And rising .........
FirstFoot is so pleased that the Executive
is handing this so professionally.
