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?

For the last three years
I have had to phone/email my council to demand a council tax bill.
"The computer says you don't have to pay it."
"I know. It said that three years ago and nine months later you stung me for the whole lot at once. You said then that you'd corrected the problem. You also said it the following year and last year."
"But the computer says you don't have to pay it."
"I refer you to my previous response. Please ask someone who understands how computers work to correct it."
...several days later...
"We're really sorry. For some reason you are marked in the computer as no longer at that address."
"I know. You've done this three years in a row and each time you say you've fixed it."
"This time we have."
"You always say that too."
"Ah yes, but this time we have."
At this point, I gave up, knowing that next April I am going to have this conversation all over again.
