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?

Stafford Borough CouncilIf you don't know anything about Stafford, you'll need a bit of background to this.
Its a small town with 5 major roads going in an out, no bypass (except for the M6), and has the most traffic lights per square mile of anywhere on the face of the earth.
This year the council decided to allow 14 new houses to be built on an old school playing field. To connect the services to these houses they'd allowed the closing of one of the major roads. For 12 weeks.
Despite there being an alternative route through one of the housing estates, the signed detour in 26 miles long, and goes via Newport, Shropshire.
The Police have been stopping people using the short-cut, and turning them back.
Now, to coincide with this, the council staged an open air play at the castle. Would you like to guess where this is? Correct, right next to the closed road.
All this was started 2 days before the rainy season hit us. So just after the road was closed (but actually 3 weeks before any digging was started), two of the other main route had to be closed due to flooding.
Would they re-open the road and postpone the work? Of course not.
When asked by the local rag about what was going on, the "Traffic Planning and Management Officer" (who, incidentally, does not possess a driving license) stated that there was no traffic problem, and refused to apologise for anything.
Oh, and the hole that their digging is only 12 x 6.
