Yer havin a larf - Garry Thomson Esq is the King of Namecalling, and hates anonymity - strange that, as it's something the owners of this list veremently (big word no sure of the spelling!) defend about themselves. Have you read some of the names him and his wee Niddrie mate have called me???? Get f()ckin real

funnily enough o' wise one they didnt consider any of the applicants.

why becouse they knew that thier is no point, the policy was the only thing they are interested in and its defence, not consideration of an application.

you seem upset, why not take the rest of the day off.
relax and contemplate what this really means

do tell
what have i called you

its her plate she can do what she likes with it.

do you have the same problem with others who paid £700 for a plate selling it for 40k.
or is it just the recent applicants

i sometimes just type as i talk, and it leads to mistakes.
but do you ever actually read youre own argument.

It must give you some satisfaction knowing that you were right and the big mouths who thought they new it all, were completely wrong.

It's the omlette and eggs situation.

Not a fan of selling plates, but the more aggro all this causes and costs Edinburgh council the better.

From where I'm sitting it is patently obvious that one person in particular doesn't understand the judgment.

The case presented in the first instance was refused because the applicant CEC had not supplied sufficient evidence as to why the appeal should be granted.

The comments of the Sheriff Principle directed at Sheriff Liddle are for what he said publicly rather than the decision he arrived at. Therefore if Sheriff Liddle had kept his own counsel and just refused the appeal on the grounds that Edinburgh council had done nothing to expedite the applications as is determined in law, then the Sheriff Principal would not have highlighted the comments of Sheriff Liddle.

Section 3.1 in the Civic Government Scotland act is the first consideration a council must take in administering its duties, this they failed to do. Failing to administer their duties in this respect meant they failed at the first hurdle and the court need go no further in its deliberations.

It's as simple as that and something which I have been stating for quite some time. I'm glad the court has saw fit to finally apply the law as it is meant to apply.

A further insight into this case is that Edinburgh City Council went in to bat knowing full well the extent of the applicant's submission and the case law on which part of the submission was based.

The applicant not only sent CEC her submission but the case law on which part of that submission was based. CEC did not have the case law in question but thanks to this website that is no longer the case.

In short the applicant in question gave CEC every opportunity to prove their case and rebut her submission but despite the presence of a leading counsel CEC failed miserably. It should not be forgotten that another applicant also submitted a statement letter to the court and great credit must go to them also.

I hope one of you guys from Scotland can pen together the whole sorry saga of these court cases and perhaps contact a journalist on your local paper with a view to exposing this shower who call themselves Councillors.

We are in the process of stirring the sh** as we speak.

Just for the uninitiated (Tornarsehole)


The reason the council failed to consider any of the applications with in the 3 month period had nothing to do with Jacob. Had they denied the licenses at that point they would have fell foul of the Coyle and Dundee cases. A failure to act within the statutory 3 month period , we would win by default, the council failing to consider the licences within the time period as laid down by Parliament.

They knew it and so did wee. It was a pincer movement. We had them on both flanks. Sheriff Mackie didn’t have a bloody clue. The council got lucky now their luck is running out.

Yes I knew we had it right. Isn’t it funny how we understood the legislation but Sheriff Mackie was lost in bullshit?

I would hate to see a case of greater complexity in front of that dozy tart, scary.

Not much happening on Fastblacks right now, must be in shock


What will the council do now? What about the 41 applicants? How much will our plates be worth in a few months? Should I sell? Is there any mug out there still wants to buy? De-restriction, no, no, it can’t be, maybe they will just issue a few plates.





In your dreams Fasties.

Here’s an even bigger laugh Mrs Saltei doesn’t even have a brief.

One hundred and ten still on the “interested parties list” waiting for 15 years not to get one.

Now that’s funny.


What a bunch of numptys.

Ali T - I think the name you called me was was Torn Arse and alluded to me frequenting bars round the Playhouse area. I think chipolata dick was my response. See, still makes me laugh.

Skull - You've conspicuously ignored the question about your opinion on what IF Mrs Salteri's husband sells his plate. That would prove the case wasn't about deregulation, but profiteering. pretty much all your uinterested in too

Surprised? Shocked? Nah I thought no. Nobody here should be
