It seems that my post about the SNP playing a dirty game has upset Councillors Grieve and MacLeod.
They are denying that there was ever any prospect of their Group doing a deal with the Lib Dems and others to seize control of the Council. This apparently is just a figment of Eric Baxter's imagination.
It appears that it was simply a coincidence that Councillor Grieve was considering turning up for Thursday's crucial Council meeting after being off sick for nearly a year. Those who were putting it about in the Council that he was going to turn up to support an opposition candidate for Council Leader should clearly be ashamed of themselves.
I apologise to Councillor Grieve for repeating this untruth on this blog.
Mind you the fact that a member of the SNP group has been openly saying that he would not support a deal with the Lib Dems might have something to do with the fact that the 'rainbow coalition' seems to have fallen apart.
I did have a bit of an inkling that the plot was coming apart when I was approached last night by another senior opposition councillor asking if he could be considered for the position of Planning Board Chair.
Having taken soundings from the Labour Group I am afraid that the answer has to be no.
Honest: I am not making this up!
