the gloves are off

[mk1]

The SCABs have used a local free newsheet to strike back. There is a cloying article where the SCABS and Mad Marj are shown presenting a 'donation' to the drunken Mayors 'favourite Charidee'-which for once appears not to be themselves.
The fight over who gets the Council Advert money may mean The Mail is forced to  put it on its front page!

The Mail still exists?

Well I never.

Since when did a cafe (community or otherwise) need a 'Project Coordinator'? Is that a voluntary role or does a nice little salary come attached?

[Inspector Knacker]

According the article, the volunteers raised the cash for the donation, so why did SAB have to donate it on the volunteers behalf, it's their money so let them present it.
Pitiful.

The article mentions the cafe is run solely by volunteers, so as the manager/ project  co-ordinate is paid what does he actually do, taste the food?

[mk1]

In case we forget the last time he promised to support 'the community'. Just days after he made this promise he resigned and ran away from his responsibilities for the theft of over £500,000 in council funding.

He is never there. It appears he spends a lot of time at relatives funerals.......................

In fairness, we don't know whether the role is voluntary or paid (although I wouldn't like to wager money on the former). As for the taster role, having seen photos posted on the MyCafe FB group you'd have to pay me a fortune to eat some of the food!

Sounds like a cross between a professional mourner and the Grim Reaper!

They have missed "Business Owner" off the list.......

I still can't figure out how good hearted people get involved with self serving councillors, how do you get volunteers to work from  9am to 2pm 6 days a week, for nothing.......as Toyah sang..It's a Mystery
