You are correct regarding your comments regarding Councillor Kelly – I would go further and say that he is a thick buffoon who really believes that he is intelligent. Imagine him having the cheek to slag off anyone else especially Councillors Martin and Vassie who he strangely thinks are gaining from standing down rather than the truth which just happens to be the opposite. If the stood again the would win easily because of their popularity (something that Cllr Kelly lacks) and would earn at least three times what they are getting. Mrs Martin was always standing as she has done in the past. Nothing like letting the truth get in the way of a good (ha ha) blog. The same goes for the Standards Commission Hearing that Councillor Kelly refers to – that the Police and Procurator Fiscal say stinks to high heaven – where two people have so far been reported for perjury. Half the Labour Councillors have been reported to the Police for fraud – silence fron Cllr Kelly on this! Yes Labour councils are corrupt unfortunately half the SNP Cllrs in Renfrewshire have been stupid enough to join them at the trough and have been reported to the Police as well – Keep up the good work – Billy

Hi,

I am blogging about this person simply because I live in the Renfrewhsire Council area and unlike a lot of you I simply don’t have the option to stand and stare.

I would probably point out that the Labour Party will never vote against its interests. STV is being rigged to produce the status quo. The areas most likely to vote for a Conservative (in Renfrewhsire it is the Bishopton ward where the Tories have the single seat) are being associated with the worst sink estates. Net result will be to ensure that the percentages across the three constituencies will be roughly the same as the overall council makeup.

I expect to see no significant shift in the parties at the election. I do however plan to print up cards at my own expense and put them through doors in Terry’s ward highlighting his opinions. Hopefully he will be too much of a liability to keep around.

[...] Via Doctor Vee, Will P and Clairwil, not to mention Right for Scotland and Freedom and Whisky, I bring you Councillor Terry Kelly. I have mentioned this chap before, but given that elections loom on the horizon and he could conceivably be re-elected, I’m inclined to help the good people north of the border and highlight just what it is that people get when they put their cross next to the red rose.

“And not very sensible when one of the Scottish blogosphere’s biggest voices is an SNP member who happens to be gay.”

Given your link in that sentence I will simply say that flattery will get you nowhere!

I’ve lost my patience with him. The claws are now out.

Incidentally, the last place to suggest that opponents of the regime were mentally ill was Brezhnev’s USSR. I don’t care if he is a Socialist, surely that’s a comparison he should avoid at all costs?
