and Wasted Council More Tax

A former Cleveland Police officer who was wrongfully sent to prison has been awarded almost £400,000 after an 18-year legal fight.

Former traffic officer Sultan Alam, 48, was jailed for 18 months in 1996 for conspiracy to steal car parts, but was cleared by the Court of Appeal in 2007.

Cleveland Police had admitted the malicious prosecution of Mr Alam, at Leeds County Court.

It was only a VW Golf FFS, admittedly the top of the range R version but the Daily Wail called it a 'supercar'

Unless you want to, like, drive to work. Or have your bin emptied.

Don't let these little facts get in the way of making a cutting observation though

Bins are emptied infrequently and more times than not I take the rubbish bags to the dump, it’s less hassle. There is a bus service that is council subsidised, it runs every ten minutes in each direction from 6am till midnight. The bus in empty until 8:30 and only has a few passages after the rush hour. All that wasted money and the council has an FNg green policy.

Wandsworth Council has the lowest council tax in the country and the bins are collected every Monday without fail, and without question as to the amount, even if that is a Bank Holiday like Boxing day this year.
A shining example of how to run a council.

Where on earth do you live? I must have lived in 5 places over the last 10 years from ultra-rural Cornish farmhouse to run-down chavvy estate, to middle-class new-build, and the bins have always been emptied barring snow.
Maybe they just don't like you?

You can't try and get people to ditch their cars first with no alternative. You have to provide the alternative first and then wait for it to get used.

Here we have no street lights, the roads are full of potholes, the council leisure centres are more expensive than the private health clubs, the car parks are 60p an hour, the local police house went decades ago, the main town police station keeps normal office hours and it's a 30 mile round trip to the dump.

Never mind! As long as it keeps a lot of f* council jobsworth in work and provides housing for hordes of the feckless, who's complaining?

Maybe you should move out of a slum into somewhere normal people live?
