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?

Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council
willenium: Doncaster does too, and it's basically a way for our elected mayor to shout about how great he is.
DMBC seem to be in the news every other week, but the most recent one is the best.
The council hired (at large expense) a managing director, a lady from Australia (or maybe New Zealand?). All was good, until she apparently discovered some 'discrepancies' in a project in the town that the Mayor was involved with as a consultant. She called in the rozzers, so the Council tried its level best to get rid of her. Eventually, the Council agreed on a settlement, paying her a couple of hundred grand to leave. The mayor decided he didn't agree with this either, so attempted to open another inquiry into the amount of money she was being paid, but in doing so ensured more taxpayer money was being squandered. There were threats of legal actions all over the shop before they all just finally shut the hell up.
The recent flooding was another fine example of how useful they are, when they gave us 1 (one) sandbag. I proceeded to drop it in front of my front door, whereupon it disappeared under a foot of water.
There's many more, but for a laugh have a look at the Standards Board for England's website (http://www.standardsboard.gov.uk/Casesummaries/Standardsearch/), and have a look at what naughtiness your councillors have been upto...
