Heard in a pub near Normanton on the Wolds:
Nigel - I hear our Kay is going to close down some advice centres; what do you think that will mean?
Oscar - Advice centres? Don't they just advise the great unwashed on how to get more benefit?
Nigel - Exactly old bean, It;s time they were made to get a proper job and stop fiddling the system, oh by the way darling (turning to wife) the accountant's found a way of getting your car through the books. Besides they don't give any useful advice; I struggled to find anyone half decent to service the pool this year.
Oscar - too damn right, just where does one turn to if one wants advice on moat cleaning? That's the sort of help we need in this county.

Your little scenario highlights the mistake that you, me and others of a similar persuasion are making, which is to assume that anyone in Kay Cutts's cabinet or Tory group gives a flying f**k about anyone other than themselves.
ReplyDeleteWe can criticise them all we like (and we obviously do like) but these are cold-hearted, dogmatic, Thatcherite ideologues who will pursue their political objectives come what may.
I'm not suggesting we give up but they've been given a mandate by the poor, misguided voters of Nottinghamshire and, by God, are they going to use it.
