This is the personal blog of Ian Ker, who was Councillor for the South Ward of the Town of Vincent from 1995 to 2009. I have been a resident of this area since 1985. This blog was originally conceived as a way of letting residents of Vincent know what I have been doing and sharing thoughts on important issues. I can now use it to sound off about things that concern me.

If you want to contact me, my e-mail is still ian_ker@hotmail.com or post a comment on this blog.

He Who Sups With The Devil………

Eastern Reporter, 18th November 2014
The saying, 'he who sups with the devil should use a long spoon', means that one should be very cautious when dealing with dangerous or untrustworthy persons.

It was never more apt than for the City of Bayswater, which has consistently been enthusiastic about local government so-called reform, but now finds itself in the position of trying to defend the right of 1500 of its residents to remain in Bayswater.

At the same time, perhaps the City of Bayswater should reflect on the even larger number of Stirling residents who are being told that, like it or not, they will be living in Bayswater from mid-2015 if the Government (based on the City of Bayswater proposal) has its way.

The devil put temptation in the way of local councils that sought to aggrandise themselves and some duly sold their souls in a faustian pact.

Now the devil is calling in the price.
