Council CuntsStallion Explosion writes "I was in a record shop in Melbourne, flicking through the vinyl, when I found a record entitled 'Hackney Council Are A Bunch Of Cunts'"
We agree.
Have you been trapped in the relentless petty minded bureaucracy of your local council?
Why does it require 3 forms of ID to get a parking permit when the car in question is busy receiving a parking ticket right outside the parking office?
Or do you work for Hackney Council?

Council taxI was rather astonished to find the council tax on my 3 bed terraced house in a small devon town was £1200 per year.... SO I decided to appeal the tax banding.
They told me the tax is calculated on the value of the house in 1991. That's ok, it was only built in 2005 I told them.
So they estimate what it was worth in 1991. I'm sure its wrong and I'm getting screwed on it but the appeal process is a dead end really.
Plus they've changed the bin collection schedule as follows:
Thursday of week one; Brown wheelie for food waste/organic waste only.
Tuesday of week two: Black box for recyclable materials except plastic of which my bin seems to pretty much only contain.
Thursday of week two: Black bin for non organic or recycled waste.
Then everytime there is a holiday screw it all up to make everyone miss out, thus making it another couple of weeks before anything is collected leaving stinky nappy bing bags in the sunshine for 3 weeks :-)
Also, the bin lorry drives over the pavement ripping up the tarmac, so the council wont adopt the road. So the developer repairs it and requests the council inspect and adopt the road, before they do the bin lorry does it again. Unless there is a car parked in the street then the bin lorry doesn't bother with our road at all leaving the rubbish to rot for another couple of weeks.
We pay for that service.
