To the council 09.30 am this morning for a full council meeting and it is now apparent that we are back to the offensive and expensive behaviour of the snp similar to the last time they were in opposition. Motion after motion mostly spurious and costing thousands and thousands per hour to run the meeting which lasted 5 hours, go figure. I reckon the meeting deserved no more than 3 hours max. But this is the snp at their worst and it's you dear tax payer who is paying for it.
Their behaviour as always was deplorable and held up the meeting constantly, they appear and behave like a drunken rabble and I wish the public could see them. They actually brought a complaint to full council about words spelt wrongly in reports and typographical errors, none of which caused anyone to misunderstand what the reports were saying, that is the kind of thing they are wasting thousands of pounds of your money on, they turned it in to a bear pit, just like old times and just as embarrassing.
For my part I prefer to swap blow for blow with these cretins and I did today. My philosophy is to never start one of these insult trading shouting matches and I am proud to say I never have but I admit that if the snp start this behaviour I will not turn the other cheek and I will retaliate. Experience has taught me that if you do not face up to these nationalist thugs they will stamp all over you with their tartan Jackboots.
I told them during one debate that 28% of snp voters did not support independence, only 30% of the general population supported independence, 75% of the teenagers that the snp were desperate to be allowed to vote in the referendum wanted to stay British and their grand march and rally in Edinburgh attracted only 5,000 adding all this to the last council election result where Labour took 22 seats and the snp took 15, you could tell by looking at them that they were not pleased. As that great English warrior corporal Jones said "they don't like it up em captain, they do not like it up em"

'Thousands and thousands per hour,' to run Renfrew Council meetings?
Surely not!
That should have been per meeting. It's over a thousand pounds an hour and this one lasted 5 hours. I was given a figure of between 6&7 hundred pounds an hour about 10 years ago by the council's head of finance so a meeting of this length is well in to thousands. Thank you for your assistance.
You mean you waste public money talking about independence at a council meeting. Is this what we pay you for Terry? - I'm disgusted.
£1000 an hour??????? what planet are you on Terry? - Do your constituents know that your pissing their council tax against the wind like this on tea and biscuits?

This meeting should have taken a maximum of 3 hours, the snp morons managed to extend it to over 5 hours with their thuggish behaviour and by putting down spurious motions.
I suggest you write to them as an outraged resident of Renfrewshire and demand that they stop their criminal wasting of tax payer’s money.

Myself and all other councillors present except the snp and the wretched incorrigible Cllr. Eileen McCartin are not guilty of wasting any time or tax payer’s money. That is done by the rabble that is the snp.
Seems to me to be another case of 'Gawd help any facts unlucky enough to come within range of Kelly.'
Please give us a breakdown on how the £1000+ figure is arrived at.

I’ve posted another article on this. I take it you are not a gambler? Do you really think that I would post this if I couldn’t back it up, as I said the figure from 10 years ago came from the then director of finance and I have added approx. costs for price rises and I would certainly suggest that I have erred on the side of caution.
These meetings are attended by all heads of services, chief executive and legal officers about 10 of them on salaries which work out at about £50 an hour, then 40 councillors on about £10 an hour, then clerks janitors, electricity costs etc. If you want any more detail I suggest you enquire through FOI to the council I’m not doing it for you. We are supplied with about 150 bottles of water to sustain us, I wonder what that costs? I’m sure you get my drift.
Sounds as though the council's overstaffed, or that a lot of the attendees are overpaid, wouldn't you say?

Perhaps you should suggest to the council employees that they are overstaffed. As for being overpaid? some despite doing a good job are IMO overpaid.

You claim to be a socialist yet you are a member and representative of a right wing party. I think you would say anything "on message" to carry on the pretence of your Woolfy SMIFF persona....

“I think”
Why would I give a damn about what someone who is too scared to identify them self thinks?
