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?

Hull City CouncilA couple of years ago, Leeds council wanted a big fuck-off TV for their town centre, however, they couldn't immediately find somewhere to put it, so Hull jumped on the bandwagon and snapped up the 26m screen and erected it on a temporary scaffold, all for the reasonable cost of £675,000. Was this voted on by the council? No, it went through without any comment or discussion from other councillors except for the leader and I think the treasurer.
The plan is, that a good chunk of the money (£375,000) was going to be recouped through sponsorship.
Now, anyone with half a brain would secure sponsorship deals with the big players of Hull, (Reckitts, Smith & Nephew, and the council owned Kingston Communications) before spunking such huge amounts of cash against the wall. But no.
Apart from the very occasional event such as that opera and the odd football match, the TV has shown nothing but BBC News 24 interspersed with the local edition, Look North. As the TV has connections with the BBC, it will never show any adverts or sponsorship.
Length? Don't get me started on the £63,000 that was spent on two dozen flagpoles erected next to the marina...
