| As the beam saga continues to produce beamers, Holyrood heid jannie
George Reid confirmed this week that for once, the progress of the troubled building is
now right on track. With the errant roof beam pointing to severe structural problems
attached to the design of the building, Mr Reid told the world’s media: "I can
confidently predict, after speaking to ashen-faced structural engineers, that the
parliament building is now on track to completely collapse within the next month or
so."
The imminent de-construction of the troubled
monument to spending other people’s money has put paid to ill-judged criticism of
past cost and timeline over-runs. |
Prior to putting on his coat and going for his bus, Mr Reid paid
tribute to the unique design qualities of the building: "In a year from now, people will look at an enormous hole in the ground and
wonder at the speed with which the thing fell down. It's Scottish reverse-engineering at
its best."
Artist's impression of the Holyrood Building as it
will look in a couple of months.

Land buyers for
supermarket giant Tesco have already expressed interest in re-developing the site,
building a facility more in keeping with the real aspirations of The Scottish people
– to have a great big shed where you can buy hunners of stuff. Mr Reid is
especially angry at the present disruption caused in moving sittings of the parliament to
elsewhere on the The Royal Mile as the process involves setting out and then putting away
dozens of extra chairs - and who has to dae that, wi’ nae help? That’s right
it’s muggins here etc. etc. |
