joebean Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Mr Callister’s expenses claims demonstrate very ably why being an MHK is so attractive to the relatively unskilled, under-achieving, greedy egotists we continually elect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) I'll have you know that Rob is an internationally-recognised Snooker referee. Give him a break, takes balls to do that. He can at least chalk that one up. Having deep pockets helps cushion the burden... Edited August 8, 2021 by quilp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Rob Callister is now entering into a spat with Bernie Moffat of the Celtic League. He has posted a reposte to the Celtic League. He says in his reply that he arranged a meeting with Housing Matters regarding 170 ‘homeless’ people still on the books of the charity, which they are having difficulties with finding accommodation. If anyone cares to listen to the interview on the Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece all 3 mins of it, these people are homeless due to various issues, such as eviction and rent arrears. I would be inclined to guess that antisocial behaviour and drugs are also playing a part. It’s also a fact that some landlords are getting out and putting their property up for sale, thereby giving notice to their tenants. Some are selling up because of government political interference, and also the result of the Landlord’s Bill. I don’t know what Rob Callister hopes to achieve with meetings? What’s he going to do, buy a building to convert into flats, to house the ‘vulnerable’? As I have said before, there are many deserving poor, but this is outstripped by the undeserving poor, who are only interested in drink, drugs and don’t want to work.
