Brighton tory council... leopards never change their spots

"They don't have many functioning hereditary peers anywhere.

But there's one who lives not far from me. "
QUOTED BY LORD BRACKNELL

Social climbing and name droppinging again?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Social climbing and name dropping again?

Not at all. Us peasants know our place. Now if I had been born and bred in Hove, THAT would be something to brag about.

It's times like this when you miss excellent (and excellently-named) councillors like Nimrod Ping.

WHAT? ? ? Nimrod Ping was my landlord back in the 70's whilst I was still renting.

The man is/was a crook!

Poxy binmen! No sympathy for the workshy twats. Any excuse to down tools for the day and not work and you can rely on Brighton & Hoves binmen to take it. Any excuse not to empty your bin and they will use that too. The amount of shit I'm now expected to recycle its a wonder I have anything left to throw out anyway. Christ half my bloody driveway is now dotted with flaming recycle boxes. Half of it ends up being shipped to Brazil or China anyway so whats the bleeding point? Its a stupid pointless exercise anyway all this recycle nonsense to save the planet. If China, the USA and Russia stopped pumping so much pollution into our atmosphere and causing 90% of the worlds refuse and carbon emissions then maybe we could make a difference but the UK not throwing away their placcy bags is effectively just a gesture compared to what really needs to be done. rant over and relax!

You really are a turd!

From the rubbish you've just written, I hope you get a pay cut of £8000/pa
The recycling policy is set by central government not by the binmen.

Grow up or f*** off!

Overpaid action man!

300% in some cases. Hopefully the shop owners will take them to court, as they threat, and it will be deemed criminal (just like Theobald's use of a disabled parking space).

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Surely the seed was sown when the economy began to improve, thanks to Ken Clarke.

? What, directly, has Ken Clarke got to do with Brighton Council policy and decision making?

I think you're getting you stock responses confused.

They could cut the pay in half of the useless twats who do my round for all I care and do I sound like I give a shit who sets the utterly pointless recycling policy?

Get over yourself and jog on.

So what?

I said I thought he was an excellent councillor. If you're still feeling hard done by 30-plus years later, that's your issue.

And it's 'was'. He died a few years ago.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

But the Green candidate does appear a viable and attractive proposition in her own right (irrespective of whether one could claim that I am voting to try and keep a Tory candidate out) so she will 'probably' get my vote.

Go on, I bet you fancy her! Pics?

 

[The Large One]

Half a dozen Tuaca Babychams - maybe...

And yet the police kicked up a bit of a fuss recently when Jackie Smith back tracked on your agreed pay rise

 

[glasfryn]

Chill, the Greens will control all of Brighton and Hove soon.

that sounds like really good news

What's Gordon Brown got to do with any of this?

nothing

that's odd - I didn't realise Gordon Brown was a councillor in Brighton & Hove?

he is'nt

bloody good councillor though

Half a dozen Tuaca Babychams - maybe...

she is NICE in so many ways

Are you still feeling "hard done by" the milk snatcher, still blaming her ect ect?

 

[The Large One]

Are you still feeling "hard done by" the milk snatcher, still blaming her ect ect?

No, I stopped moaning about her ages ago. I do still think she should be remembered, if only as a cautionary tale.

She's basically irrelevant these days, except in the minds of those who think she was the 'greatest Prime Minister ever'. Cameron might want to think he can move on and exorcise her political ghost, but I don't think the swathes of the (ageing) rank and file Tory members will let him.

I've also discovered that many a cafe is now turning off their radios as the council is expecting them all to have an entertainments licence even if the radio is in the kutchen but can be heared bu customers.

I believe the licence costs a few hundred.
