Council Cunts
Stallion 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?

Valuables on display
I live in a fairly out of the way road in my town. I own a land rover and my girlfriend rides a motorcycle.
The bike had a flat, so I had to go pick it up in the Landy. We loaded it into the back and drove home. Me being lazy, it got left in there for a couple of weeks before I got round to fixing the tyre.
A month later, I got a letter from the council telling me that I had left an item on display in my vehicle and it was a target for thieves. The letter went on at great length saying what a bad idea it was to leave valuable items on display. It was at this point I realised that they were referring to the motorcycle!
I did send a letter back to them pointing out that a) we appear to be paying traffic wardens to wander round roads (where there are no parking restrictions) and to nose around peoples cars looking for things to nick... and b) if the bike had been on the road next to the Landy, then they would have ignored it.
They sent back some patronising reply with a made up statistic saying how much they were cutting crime and improving the roads... That wasn't of much comfort when some bastard vandalised the landy and the bike got another flat due to all the pot holes in the road.
