Just who do these council people think they are?

A Council Spokesman

I was just going to flick to another page after reading about yet another tax and rate payer funded council wasting our money by producing and distributing a document telling their staff not to use phrases such "Man on the street" and "manning the switchboard" as they were offensive to women and had just thought "plonkers", went to click the Next Button and what caught my eye and made call up Scribefire but this line uttered by a politically correct Council Clown of the Month spokesman;
"We introduced the guide because as community leaders we must be aware of what modern society requires of the public sector. This includes the sensitivity of various individuals and groups, and current thinking in society in general.

"It is easy to make fun of individual phrases or words but what we are seeking to do is to be more sensitive and responsive to the needs of others in our society."
Community Leaders? Just who does this jumped up jack ape think he is? Get it straight Plankman. You and all the Council Staff in all the Country are servants of the ratepayers who pay your wages. Council Staff are not and never will be Community Leaders.

Now if you and others like you in Councils have nothing better to do, I suggest you do what you are really paid for. The collection of rubbish. Not the producing of it. Now bugger off.

How to solve the rubbish problem

A Tri-Axis Councillor feeding off the people

In desperate measures to safeguard their fat salaries and pensions, tri-axis councils the length and breadth of our enslaved nation have taken to try a new wheeze to protect them from the wrath of their constituents.

They hope that by farming out rubbish collection to private companies they can not only pick up brown envelopes from grateful exploiters of the public purse but then when the complaints reach a crescendo they can use the old "you will have to take it up with the company responsible" line.

A classic example of life in a gestapo controlled council is Newquay in Cornwall where residents have had their refuse service improved by having had it handed over to a company called Serco.

Serco's solution to improve things was to order an edict stating that rubbish must now be placed in black bags which must then be covered with blankets or face a £75 fine. The blankets are to prevent seagulls ripping open the rubbish that the residents can no longer place in the caged bins at the back of their premises.

Just what visitors to Nequay are to make of piles of carpet and blanket covered rubbish in the streets is beyond me. Whilst the gulls may not be able to feed, I am sure that rats will love the extra cover provided for them. Tarpaulins should provide nice cover from the rain whist they feed. All this on top of fortnightly collections must surely be enough to make even the staunchest Labour voter think about who they are electing.

If you want weekly collections run by people you can vote out, then you need to start voting for the British National Party. The BNP know exactly how to deal with rubbish and its disposal.

Wake up. Smell the stench of corruption and uncollected rubbish.
