Since when did we become a bunch of words removed in this country. Come and nuke us Vlad, we generally deserve it. I'll nuke emm myself if I see another knobber park in the mother and baby spaces (without a child) an can't even get between those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 There must be something to do with the "everyone's a winner" thing that came around and the end (kind of) of the class system, when it comes to platforms. There's not enough "elders" telling idiots and knobs to shut the **** up, so the idiots and knobs don't to get put into check. Plus we now have the old social media stuff where people who like the same idiocy stuff create a little echo chamber which becomes a bigger echo chamber as the yoot cone through. Or I'm completely wrong and social media just highlights the idiots and knobs and gets put in front of us more often, and there's actually exactly the same amount of idiots and knobs around as before, but we didn't have access to their idiocy.

Pretty much what happened. The bank refunded me the £250, the police took a month to reply to the report with "sorry, they don't have the CCTV anymore" so that's that. If you find a bank card, you may as well spend as much as you want on it because it's treated as a victimless crime and nobody gives a shit. At this point it's the bank that's the victim not me, so it shouldn't annoy me too much, but it bloody does. There's just no deterrent to theft unless you get caught in the act.

Rds1983 Posted March 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2022 Cheshire East have spent £85,000 investigating the Jackie Weaver meeting that went viral last year to see if she did actually have the authority to boot people from the call. What an absolute waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want wastes of money and Handforth Parish Council, don’t whatever you do, Mooney Handforth Parish Council budget and realise it costs a quarter of a million a year to put up Xmas lights and water some plants (and a few other odds and sods) But that £85k still represents a third of the annual budget of Handforth PC I was expecting it to be over 100% It really should be over 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they bring someone external in and pay them to look into it, it just tell someone to stop stapling meeting minutes and look at this instead. It’s a waste whichever way you look at it though. There was another example which I can’t really remember now where the main meeting room would cost about £800 a time to setup the tiered seating/desks and they would do it every week.

No matter how they did it there's no justification in spending £80k for someone to watch a 20 odd minute video and then read through a few bylaws. Especially as their ruling was she didn't have the power to evict people but it was okay this time. I can only assume someone has complained and said it involved bullying and harassment or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple of anti-vaxxers who fall into this bracket. But when it comes to recreational drug taking then anything goes. Go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2022 I went to Cheltenham a few years ago with a few work colleagues. On the way there one of the guys showed a comedy video of a horse race with all the horses having amusing names. Had it on really loud so we all could hear. Everyone was laughing and commenting. As the train pulled into the next station a bloke getting off informed us we were in the quiet carriage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
