Published Date: 12 December 2006
SOLIDARITY MSP Tommy Sheridan has tabled a motion in the Scottish Parliament demanding an independent inquiry into the controversial private finance initiative, after Capital academics highlighted soaring costs.
A study by Edinburgh University's Centre for International Public Health warned the payments from health boards across Scotland to private financiers will increase from the £107million a year to £510m a year by 2011.

#####Echelon 10#####
In the land where the one eyed man is King, the man the King seeks, who is neither blind nor one eyed, yet still he cannot see, is the man starting out on the trail of enlightenment. For the seeker of enlightenment may not have the sight of the one eyed man, and has yet to learn, but has the vision to seek out answers.


There are Kings that seek wisdom,
And those that seek tripe,
The wise search for knowledge,
The tripe full of hype,
The King seeking wisdom,
Is the teacher of men,
The seeker of tripe,
Finds ECHELON 10.

#####Echelon 10#####

The wheel it does spin,
But the hamster looks dead,
What’s left of your brain cells,
Have practically fled,
Your infantile verse,
Is more of a purge,
The more that I read,
The vomit did surge,
You’re obviously happy,
As ignorance is bliss,
So pucker your lips,
My arse needs a kiss.

An inquiry into the names behind giving Consort (Balfour Beatty /Haden Building Management) such a lucrative PFI contract at the ERI will no doubt end in a police investigation. Remember, Edinburgh Council were implicated in a corrupt tendering deal involving Balfour Beatty's attempts to secure a contract for building schools etc, throughout the City.

Cheez, you have Tommy Sheridan commenting on it , Andrew Allan writing poems about it (and everything else), there must be something out of order. Just a matter of solving the problem by concentrating the mind.
