Thistle Housing’s Shameful Two Years of Failure

Day 1,065 since Thistle’s Major Works Programme Started
Now TODAY, TWO FULL YEARS after Thistle’s E.ON contract failed on 30/11/16

Slide1Thistle Housing’s senior management and their allies in the incapable Management Committee claim that the Major Works Programme, begun on 7 January 2016 and with an end date of 30 November 2016, “was successfully completed on 31 March 2018“. Not that they told anyone, not that they asked if anyone agreed, not that they troubled themselves to consider that Toryglen residents just might not be satisfied or even just bloody angry.

Nope. They don’t care just so long as the loot to pay their over inflated salary packages continues to flow from residents’ funds.

COMPLETE

The Oxford English Dictionary, see here

Possibly rather appropriate for Thistle Housing

Now, some images taken yesterday evening, apparently illustrating Thistle’s interpretation of “COMPLETE“.

Complete?
This is the start of full scaffolding all around the Major Works area, again.
…and all of this full scaffolding coming to a close near you soon as ALL chimneys have to be redone.
Two years ago at this time, Toryglen residents protested to have the rusting scaffolding removed and, two years later, it’s all back. With a vengeance.
Why?
Thistle’s inept and corrupt management ignored residents. Residents have been at Thistle management’s throats since September 2016 as this shower of money grabbing wretches ignored the reports and evidence from residents. Residents knew, two years ago, that the work was complete shit and had to be fixed.
Immediately next door, having had nothing done, at all, for more than two years, this after twelve weeks of being encased in scaffolding. Why the delay? Like the rest of the Major Works Programme, no application for a Building Warrant. Thistle management just doesn’t give a fuck. Or they are inane, ignorant, self indulgent wasters. Or all of the above.

How do you know when Thistle Housing’s inept management and blithering committee are lying?

Simple. They always do.

This site is still taking some time out, as previously mentioned, to let things happen. There are a few things boiling away in and around Thistle Fort, not to mention the continued and unexplained disappearance of Grace McColgan, the £90,000 per annum Director.
You might recall that she coincidentally disappeared exactly and immediately just before the Scottish Housing Regulator pounced on Thistle’s puerile management on 23rd August 2018. She’s fucked off again and has been for weeks. Suppose it needs time to spend all that loot.
Wonder if it’s being spent in the palatial G44 address or maybe, yet again, she’s off somewhere proclaiming anti Brexit with her foreign passport.

There will, of course, be further comment when the time and the opportunity present themselves.

Below, EXACTLY a year ago. 

WITH THISTLE’S CORRUPT MANAGEMENT, NOTHING CHANGES.

Next year, same thing on 30 November 2019?
