This one was always going to be hard and in such a run-down area the urge to protest was too strong. Just a shame the party that are prolonging the financial strictures on these towns got the benefit as Labour have no intention of increasing Scottish funding and are using money that could be spent within the devolution settlement to finance city deal style projects that make people think they are Robin Hood. They leave the day-to-day dross of running council & government on inadequate budgets to the local lackeys and come in on a white horse with their limited regeneration projects.
However it is sliced or diced, without legal aid Wardrop will be hit very hard financially. I doubt he is rubbing his hands with glee on this judgement, He is probably just relieved he isn't in the frame for substantial compensation. As for deflection???? That is garbled, i simply stated that the attempt to secure the land and the funding failed and AW had no hand in halting it. They messed it up. They did it on Kibble time though.
Finally, what is an ege (sic) and what is is it's recommended daily calorie intake? Should they even be giving it crumbs?
Overall, I think that Gillespie & McMillan should have been dissuaded from raising this action and should have been asked to step down as employees of SMFC while it was being pursued. It did no good and could have resulted in serious harm to the club. I really don't know why Kibble decided to fund the action as it is a personal matter. Perhaps they felt the need to show some financial muscle to prevent criticism in the future? Who knows?
