oh look another scum bag thats moved over here to allegedly murder someone , guess dunoons a dumping ground for junkies , sex offenders ,murderers and paedophiles thanks argyll and bute council
Oh well at least they are killing each other at such a rate the housing stock is soon freed up again.
How dare you write “oh well atleast they are killing each other”. That is my big brother you are talking about you cold-hearted person! Me and the rest of my family are greiving over the loss of my big brother (Mark McGauchie) and we come on to the internet to find comments like this made? Do you have no regards for the feelings of the victim’s family? You are sick in the head! Yes, maybe my broter was a junkie, so what – he was a harmless, kind-hearted man who would give you his last and would never hurt a fly. He just took the wrong path in life! He didn’t deserve to die, and didn’t deserve what he got. So get your snobby head out of your backside and and have some respect for me and the rest of my family who are greiving over the loss of Mark!
Funny how there is always absolute silence from the people that decide the housing allocation policy and determine how the points system works. No person in authority will ever explain how it is better for the community to house people from outside the area ahead of people waiting on the housing lists who have been brought up in the Cowal area and who have jobs, friends and family here!
Well that because the policy is not a local one. It is decided by the government and is legislation. Regardless of people thoughts or feedings that allocate these houses. It us ultimately their job and have to follow the law.
