I saw that last week about Nottm..
B'ham also bankrupt . Many others set to follow.

Meanwhile sleezy politicians fart about on Reality TV earning a slog, trading BS in the Commons (and Lords) for a telly career. Whilst the opposition just still cannot get Jews out of their head ..
Thatcher must be turning in her grave, she'd sack the lot of em.

The Greens up here in collaboration with the snp have spent £3.5 million converting an office to green energy etc, (too angry to read article fully), can’t fix potholes/drains etc but spend unbelievable sums to suit their agenda, calls to turf them out of power sharing, but I doubt that’ll happen.

Scottish government facing a £1billion black hole in spending.

As I've mentioned before , there's a camera high on a lampost every 1mile in Greater Manchester. All to do with the clean air thing, so you get taxed more for driving.
can you imagine the costs of running these cameras, the upkeep, paying for a team of individuals to manage it and report.
They are live, switched on but apparently not being used. Bollocks... Big brother is watching I reckon.
Rather than fix the roads, they want to charge you more and ignore the wear and tear. Ironic that a govt camera could be watching you succumb to a bent alloy.
On Tuesday, m6 southbound by Jct 24, about 15 cars had flat tyres on the off-side only, that I witnessed. Massive pot hole appeared probably overnight. Glad I missed it, with the cost of these PS5's..
All to do with this smart motorway building. This apparently the last stretch in the UK. And I hate it

We sound like a bunch of grumpy old blokes

The leisure centre I used as a kid closed recently. Now I haven't been for years as I live the other side of the city now but it was busy when I were a lad.

Now you struggle to get a public swim it seems, used to be a mission when I used to take my son after school

Anything public run is shit. The county ran a park in North Notts, Rufford Abbey (famous for the ford twats). It was crap, bad parking, bad cafe. They passed running to a leisure company. Huge strides fwd. Says it all.

Instead of investing in stuff which makes sense we have a tram which haemorrhages cash and makes a whine like a giant cow giving birth on corners. Noone buys a ticket for it.

Scooters scattered all over, e bikes in hedges

I got stung massively by the little Muslim Hitler in the smoke when I drove there getting rid of my old car. Twat.

Still, assessing his health by those eyes he has max 5 years left.
