local councillors are the urban street gangs of the over-40s

This guy (now an SNP councillor) was the local mechanic in the village where I grew up. I haven't seen him for ~10 years, whenever we were playing football he used to run over and blooter the ball into someone's garden/through someone's window. Seeing his picture now fills me with profound sadness.

http://www.pkc.gov.uk/media/image/p/e/CllrGrantLaing.jpg

Local SNP councillor Grant Laing said yesterday that he was shocked to hear what had happened.

“He was a really decent guy with a good sense of humour,” he declared.

“He liked to keep himself to himself but he would pass the time of day with anyone who spoke to him.

“He was always very active and he was passionate about gliding.

“He even offered to take me with him sometime but I never took him up on it.”

“I feel very sorry for his family.

“Spittalfield is such a small place so when something like this happens it affects everyone.”

Another excellent cartoon from our site artist Codhead. This one is of Labour Party Counillor Broadbent who has taken almost £800 a year from North Yorkshire Council and Scarborough Borough Council for broadband which we believe costs him less than £300 a year, giving him a £500 per year profit.

Labour ‘Ducking Issue’ of Potholes

Local campaigner Chr1s Tw3lls joined K31th Orr3ll, Liberal Democrat Councillor for Huntington and New Earswick, to float toy ducks in a pothole in Hambleton Way, Huntington to highlight the state of the city's crumbling roads.

You think you've got pothole worries? Well check out this bad boy.

http://www.theargus.co.uk/resources/images/2365700.jpg

Coun Barnett, who represents Hangleton and Knoll, was approached for a comment on the issue yesterday but declined.

The complaint relates to views she expressed to The Argus in August after place mats featuring golliwogs were found on sale in Bert’s Homestore in Brighton. At the time Coun Barnett argued that the dolls were not racist and branded the complaints against the store “political correctness gone too far”.

When asked why the shop should continue to sell the mats, she said: “They’re nostalgic, not racist. When I was young I remember saving up for a badge showing a golliwog playing a banjo.

“My children had golliwogs and they preferred them to teddy bears. It’s because they’ve got happy, smiling little faces.”

In 2011 Coun Barnett was found guilty of bringing the office into disrepute after handing out maps to travellers to try to get them to leave her ward.

A councillor was prosecuted over unpaid council tax after officials refused to settle the matter out of court.

Patrick Warner, who represents Sovereign ward on Eastbourne Borough Council, claims the local authority he serves is using summons as a way to raise money.

He missed payments on his rates after losing his job last year.

Coun Warner told The Argus: “I’m not a silver spoon Tory.

“I have worked hard all my life from when I grew up on a council estate and never tried to shirk my responsibility.

“Those at the top obviously have enough during difficult times and those at the bottom can access council tax benefit.

“But it’s the people in the middle who work hard every day that are being treated somewhat unfairly.”

Going back to her roots.

Reached her natural level - a couple of inches above a pothole in a road.

you can tell it's a tory constituency, call them bloody potholes - you couldn't even hide summat in them!

^^ For once, pointing it out was helpful, not obvious.

there is a pothole around the corner from my house where someone has put a scruffy old brown shoe in it and it doesn't fill it. Although I'm not sure if they were trying to use the shoe as a tarmac alternative but it is a verified pothole!

Paid st Mirren 12.50 to watch a very shitty game they played against Celtic earlier.

As is fairly normal at smaller spfl grounds there was an SNP advertising board along the side of the field. less commonly - in my experience - there was a board that read Councillor Eddie Devine - in labour colours.

finding this picture of Councillor Eddie Devine almost made paying 12.50 and watching the shitty game worthwhile:

Well lagged

his jacket and stiffly upright posture reminds me of the 3000w black russell hobbs rapid boil honeycomb texture kettle I bought off ebay recently

I presume he is pointing at uncut hedges there? Labour councillors will get involved with all sorts of corrupt housing schemes that line their own pockets and slash the fuck out of local maintenance budgets with a very heavy heart. Lol good work if you can get it.

About 18 months ago a local councillor tried to taxi me (as a Labour party member) to a meeting to vote for some housing project on a local greenfield site. God knows why I didn't tell him to fuck himself as a first response, but i politely did as a second. Then the next day someone tried to burn his house down and I presumed it was probably some racist hate-crime. But the more I learn about him, the more I presume he has just made a lot of enemies - even in the Asian community and is basically a deeply corrupt motherfucker!

lol he knew that I was a Corbyn entryist so to appeal me he told me the two most honourable people he had ever met in the PLP was Ken Livingstone and Gordon Brown!

xps. it's an SNP-run council so the bold Eddie is giving it tight to the nasty nats for their negligent hedge management

hedge-crime>>>potholes>>>dog-shit>>>someone writing swearwords or hip-hop influenced graffiti on Branson owned data cabinets on middle class housing estates.

Eddie giving me strong Big Daddy vibes, perhaps he's angry about the hedges because they remind him of giant haystacks.

in which case cutting them down to size should be easy, easy, easy

they couldn't find a photo of this guy pointing at a pothole so they've just put an insert of his official photo over a stock photo of a pothole (idk where that pothole is, but reverse google search indicates that its photo has also appeared alongside pothole stories in the Newcastle Chronicle, the Bristol Post and others)

the puddle of piss in't road has a depth and substance to it that PrOgResSIve All1AnCe is looking at with envy and admiration.

It's not a local councillor pointing at a pothole. It's some business owner from Belfast stood inside what the local infrastructure dept refer to as a culvert. But it's a superlative entry to the local press doing pothole stories genre.

big week for Britain's local councillors

From potholes to petals.

it's noticeable that several of them have no idea what to do with their arms when they're being photographed and there isn't a nearby pothole for them to point at

Inside every fat local councillor there's a tiny Prime Minister trying to get out.

young trendy independent councillors on the pothole run. They could have done a more proper repair with a sack of readymade cold lay tarmac, but didn't want to get their threads dirty!

Pretty sure filling it with cat litter isn't going to work.

turning a pothole into a gravelly bump that cats will try to shit in is a poor fix
