Allegations have surfaced this weekend that Pairc Estate owner Barry Lomas has sought to disseminate misinformation about the Pairc Trust. I have clapped eyes on said allegations, and caught myself wondering whether I was staring down a particularly black South Lochs peatbog. There are three conclusions I can draw.
1. Pairc Estate is telling the truth, meaning that the Pairc Trust is asymptotically close to being unfit for purpose.
2. Pairc Trust is telling the truth, meaning that Pairc Estate is doing everything it can to thwart the community buy-out.
3. Neither are entirely right, neither are entirely wrong and we're looking at a complete breakdown in relations between parties concerned.
I am not prepared to become a conduit for the war of words that currently rages between Loch Erisort and Loch Shell, but as I have posted on this issue before, I feel I have to relay what is going on. Please do not ask for details.
Good grief, AL. Your various postings about Lewis life make it sound like a positive viper's nest of intrigue and skulduggery. :-) Even the Historical Society seems to be on the alert for any misdemeanours! Watch your back...
ReplyDeleteJill,
ReplyDeleteLewis is no different to any other place.
Arnish, if you search your soul carefully and neutrally, wouldn't you have to amend that statement and say that Lewis is just perhaps a little bit worse than any other place ...?!
ReplyDeleteWhatever makes you say that, SL ;-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe it isn't any worse than other places, AL and SL. But it's more concentrated into a smaller area :-)
ReplyDeleteperhaps that's it Jill (she says diplomatically) ... :- )
ReplyDeleteJill isn't that true of islands in general? ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you're right, MLS. No escape... :-)
ReplyDeleteUm..., I think you can pick bits from 1,2 and 3 and that's more or less it.
ReplyDeleteThe PT are unfit for purpose. PE is doing everything to thwart the community buyout and neither are entirely right, neither are entirely wrong and we’re looking at a complete breakdown in relations between parties concerned.
Meanwhile the PT want the support of all and sundry or they'll expose you as a traitor to the press. Thank you.
