Council Wastage
A ramp to provide wheelchair access for a girl in Scotland was provided by the council - at an estimated cost of £40,000.
Turning the front garden into a metal 10-level walkway is rather over-the-top, and obviously the council decided this level of spending represented good value. The poor girl has to travel sixty metres to get from the pathway to the front door! I don't deny the need for some assistance for the family, and help for the wheelchair access, but this . . . really?
Police Payouts
South Yorkshire Police have paid out large sums to officers injured while working. One fell off a wall and got £18,000 while another tore knee ligaments while training and claimed £30,000. Other payouts were for slipping on black ice, insect bites, falling downstairs, and other such shite. Still, as there is no longer ANY acceptance of personal responsibility, this sort of crap will continue. Last night on TV there was a programme that showed only 43% of people have confidence in the police, and that over half of the population thinks police lie. Overall, it's a fucking mess, then!
Motorway Madness
Not content with forcing 32 miles of the M1 to adopt a 60mph speed limit, the EU is now (via pathetic rules) enforcing another 60mph limit along 13 miles of the M3. This is all in aid of reducing pollution and meeting supposed 'targets'. I am at a fucking loss to know how a 10mph reduction in a limit on one stretch of motorway can make any fucking difference to the UK's level of pollution. Meanwhile, alongside the motorway, cows fart and cause more of a hole in the ozone layer than anything humans can match, and in the developing world, pollution is unchecked. China continues to belch clouds of shit into the atmosphere, while we sit in slow-moving traffic for longer. The enforcement is via grey (to match the grim weather) cameras perched (invisibly) on gantries, collecting details so that fines can be issued to motorists who travel at the alleged 'National Speed Limit' of 70mph. Apparently the limit will only apply from 7am to 7pm, so that's all right then! Cunts. But while the European CIC* are true to their name, the twats in charge of things in the UK are cunts for listening to the EU rule-makers in Brussels.
Pack-a-day
No, not cigarettes - chocolate biscuits. This was the 'habit' that a woman has managed to kick, and as a result, she's dropped from over 17 stone to 8 stone. So, we are apparently supposed to be impressed/pleased/ecstatic/amazed. Sorry, but every time I read about how 'brilliant' someone is for losing a baby elephant from their girth, I wonder why the fuck they allowed themselves to get into that state. Yes, fat people, it's a good idea to undo the damage and stop shovelling the wrong food down your throats - but please spare me the fishing-for-compliments bollocks and I don't want to see you demonstrating via an oversized waistband that you could have a Siamese twin now without another trip to Primark.
Piss Poor
There's an art gallery in Colchester that cost £28 million to construct, and which takes £1 million per year in subsidies to keep going. What a mad waste, considering most visitors stay for a couple of minutes, to use the loo and/or keep warm.
As a result, the target of 150,000 visitors per year is almost being reached, but very few want more than a pot to piss in. What a farce.
