He was somewhat "convicted" to the issue of a thorough investigation. My understanding is the job contractor was interviewed by the police but IoACC's accounts department was unable to yield up any information on invoices and payments. In fact, historical payments could not be traced!<br /><br />I'm not saying this to join the bandwagon, it's fact.<br /><br />As mentioned on www.ynysmon.com , it is astonishing that senior management never "gave ownership" of the problem to WAG or an independent third party such as, for instance, Grant Thornton to investigate (could not be PWC) <br /><br />There is some control freakery here as well as a "policy of containment" which is extremely naive bearing in mind MD and Leader are caught in the mess.<br /><br />The Leader displays remarkably poor judgement and having been so Machiavellian, he may have bitten off more than he can chew.<br /><br />As for the MD, he reminds me of Capello, just signing up in time....<br /><br />Alas, we only want jobs and homes in Anglesey although these basics seem incidental to WAG and their overpaid luvvie puppets.<br /><br />Anyone wants to contact me about the above please feel free to do so.Glyn Pritchard-Joneshttp://www.ynysmon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-90567234808400639852010-09-09T21:37:10.884+01:002010-09-09T21:37:10.884+01:00Comments made at 20:55 and 21:09 deleted for being...Comments made at 20:55 and 21:09 deleted for being overly abusive and/or threatening violence.Paul Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021606156107333019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-56880179319073658782010-09-09T21:09:45.498+01:002010-09-09T21:09:45.498+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-14533605765987546222010-09-09T20:55:09.317+01:002010-09-09T20:55:09.317+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-25961358770967035812010-09-09T20:41:33.056+01:002010-09-09T20:41:33.056+01:00David Bowles is the beneficiary of the worst kind ...David Bowles is the beneficiary of the worst kind of politics. politics for profit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-2029429526036942942010-09-09T20:17:30.661+01:002010-09-09T20:17:30.661+01:00David Bowles has agreed that his idea of bullying ...David Bowles has agreed that his idea of bullying the Council into agreeing to his way forward of wiping clean the slate of greed and dishonesty may well find this greasy slimy slate sat firmly in his lap, Oh what a web of lies we weave MR Bowles, did you think your cover up for the past would actually be allowed to happen?<br /><br />McGregor will have to explain why these cover ups where made to disappear when they were trying to hide them and protect the corrupt and guilty, it only made their own positions untenable in the end.<br /><br />The people of Anglesey NO longer have faith in these wrongoing cover up idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-16463830096955867802010-09-09T20:09:22.981+01:002010-09-09T20:09:22.981+01:00The law of the land of Anglesey and the corrupt wa...The law of the land of Anglesey and the corrupt way of administering Government here is the biggest joke, but whose laughing now.
