Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope.

Let them Eat Cake. (They can't afford lunch)
The Vogon rarely puts in any appearance around the more public areas of County Hall these days, preferring to scuttle from her car to her now beautifully appointed (at tax payers expense) office on the secure "Members" corridor, from where she summons officers to receive her opprobrium on whatever subject is preoccupying her.
She is never seen tucking into the fare served in the staff dining room (Riverside Diner). The same cannot be said for some of her sidekicks. Councillors Adair, Jackson and Vincent Dobson can often be seen with trotters at the trough.
They tuck into a good meal (on expenses) for a lot less than the £5 which it is rumoured they now think "all pensioners can afford to pay" for meals on wheels.

Welcome to the World of Work a Vogon Audience
A couple of interns working at County Hell were granted an audience with the Vogon herself.
After welcoming them to County Hell she continued (allegedly):
"When you leave go and find a real job. Jobs here are not real jobs. This is not real work"
On her level of expenses she would know. Interesting that a servant of the community like the vogon who parades her public service credentials allegedly holds such work in contempt.
Why is she here we ask. Perhaps the good bergers of Church Lane Cotgrave can explain.

Who dares?
Evidently there is a dare going around County Hell. Who will be the first to wear a Vogon mask? Thre's serious money for the first one, click here for details - it would make a good top up to the redundancy we all face after yesterday's budget.
Let the show go on....
Yesterday the Conservative County Council voted through £150m in cuts against a background of a strike and demonstration by the Unions outside.
Just in case those outside find the days long and in need of of entertainment they can always attend the free pantomine kindly laid on for their entertainment by Cutts and Co. Here is a report of yesterday's highlights:
Cllr Carol (Peppa Pig) Pepper describing voluntary sector workers as 'a bunch of whingers and moaners who are only interested in looking after their own jobs'.
Cllrs Stuart Wallace and Sue Saddington having a good chuckle whilst a serious point was being made by a Labour Member about the effects of cuts on organisations offering support to victims of domestic violence.
Cllr Jason (Little Boy Blue) Zardrozny the Lib Dem Leader sneaking into the meeting at approx 7pm. Eight and a half hours late without any explanation, saying nothing in the debate and glumly half putting his hand up to vote against the Tory budget along with his Lib Dem lapdogs...Shhhhh, don't tell Cleggy!
The LibDems having it both ways (ooooer) by attacking Labour and voting against the Tories. Opportunism at its very best!
Stiff competition for best beet impression between Cllrs Alan Clarke and Mike (Quids in) Quigley....they stand need to blush.
Cllr Tom Irvine (The Rockin' Reverend) maintaining 100% absence from voting at Council meetings by wandering off before the end.
Laugh, the Beano would have loved 'em!!

Trial Vogon Activity
Kay Cutts went off to see the Boy David and his pet Clegg to receive her pat on the back for decimating public services earlier this week.
While she was away three Tory members were overheard in the canteen joking about how they had just taken photos of themselves sat at her desk, doing impressions of a vogon undertaking dubious and less than flattering activities.
Won't take long for her to find out who though now.

Keith (Tourettes now F*** Off) Girling is a TW*T
Keith “Tourettes now F*** Off” Girling as he is now known in County Hell turns out is really a delicate flower (TW*T).
So much so we have now been told via a high level tory leak that the porcine TW*T allegedly had a formal caution placed on a member of county hell staff’s record for swearing in front of him (TW*T) recently. We are told although the person apologised this was not good enough for our Keith (TW*T), and formal disciplinary action had to be taken.
Perhaps this just another example of Tory double standards or maybe Keith (Tourettes now F*** Off) Girling is just an overweight TW*T.
Sorry for any offence Keith only joking
And by the way that is "TWIT"!
Only Joking,
No offence intended.
:) LOL

Man Walks Into a Bar OUCH
All is not happy in Tory ranks so the County Councillor for Newark West, (Keith "Porcine" Girling) has been doing his bit to cheer them up via facebook.
Cuddly Keith was one of the Tory funsters who happily voted through cuts to Special Educational funding and of course, reductions in grant aid to numerous organisations throughout the County, who deal with people who have special needs.
In a show of sympathy, he made this comedic posting on his Facebook wall: (click on the pic to enlarge).
"I don't normally put swear words up on here but this did make me laugh......I parked in a disabled space today and a traffic warden shouted.........."Oi, what's your disability?"I said, "Tourettes! Now fuck off."
This was much to the amusement of his friends, with many LOLs and comments about people who suffer from various ticks.
Cllr Girling's attempt to play the King of Comedy doesn't do much for his credentials as a County Councillor, who pledge to respect and represent people regardless of any disabilities.

Perhaps this attitude shows us why he's happy to vote for cuts to services for the disabled. If Keith knew which of his Tory facebook chums had leaked this he may start to deveop some ticks himself.

From our own correspondent
Kay Cutts looked like she was going to explode today in full Council:
A Beeston member asked her about the transfer of some land for the tram to the City Council. Evidently her second hand car salesman transport portfolio holder won't sell it so the City Council are getting a compulsory purchase order - a long, expensive drawn out business. I'll now quote a witness:
"The member asked her a straightforward question about the transfer of the land to which she replied rather curtly that a compulsory land transfer arrangement, not purchase was under way and her colour slowly changed from Vogon green to a lighter shade of red. The member then asked how she squared this with her promise not to obstruct the tram and that it may cost her friends in the City Council over £200,000 to get the compulsory order, how could she justify that waste of public money during these difficult times? Her complexion then went through the various stages of red to glowing traffic light, we all thought she was about to burst. She finally just stuttered out something about them not selling voluntarily before sitting down, looking rather embarrassed. We then realised why - sitting directly behind her was a glowering Leader of the City Council; Jon Collins."

Paying for your own office
The Conservative administration has just thought of another way to save money. Making people pay for their own office space. After all they argue jobs are now so difficult to find and it is very benovolent of us to give you a job so we shall jolly well make you pay for it.
Alternatively you can work from home and pay your own heating, lighting and other expenses. Just to show that they care (about Rushcliffe) they'll start off by shutting all the offices which are on the wrong side of the Trent. So it's good by to most if not all Mansfield offices; Broxtowe, Retford and Mansfield touchdowns, Mercury House Annesley, Chancery Lane Retford and anywhere else they can think of where dirty miners once worked or there are unfriendly councillors.
Of course County Hall will be preserved and probably expanded which just goes to show there's no place like the south.

Disabled to suffer under the Vogon
A document leaked to me informs the local district councils that they will no longer receive top up grants from the County Council for Disabled Facilities Awards.
As Maggie Thatcher once said - "this gives people a greater incentive to do something to help their position".
On the planet Vogon wheelchair bound beings can grow back legs and arms. Only the lazy desist.

Sneinton Lil's Land Grab
Sneinton Lil as the Vogon is affectionately known in some quarters is rumoured to be looking forward to her next personal land grab.
If you invest in farm land or woodlands after two years it becomes immune form inheritance tax (seven years for every one else) and investment in some woodland carries a 30% tax rebate every year on the sum invested to offset against other income. These are well known tax dodges of the rich and famous and finance industry bonus junkies, as well as country landowners. However often it is a shortage of supply of land at the right price that makes such tax avoidance techniques difficult.
How nice then that Mr Cameron is now flogging off all our forests to his mates like Sneinton Lil. This increases supply of land to help them avoid having to pay the extra tax he claims they are having to pay, while he kicks 80000 families on the street by withdrawing their support. It is estimated there are 100,000 homeless kids in the UK with more to come.
Sneinton Lil is said to have her eye on the whole of Sherwood Forrest and wants to move into the great oak, so she can continue her inverse robin hood act and gain her revenge, after hundreds of years, on that terrible bow and arrow commie.

Vogon Live or selective deafness
The Vogon in another nauseating performance on TV referred once again to the Big Conversation saying she had consulted the people of Nottinghamshire through The Big Conversation and cuts were being made where the people of Nottinghamshire had indicated they wanted to see them.
So just how Big is the The Big Conversation. We have been told that in a very recent assessment of the survey 800 responses to the big conversation had been received. This is out of about 750,000 residents of Nottinghamshire representing a percentage return of 0.1% of the population!
Further analysis of the survey showed a significant proportion of these returns were received from Rushcliffe (they are known to speak Vogon).
The Vogon continues to use this "Conversation" as an example of the will of the people of Nottinghamshire. This has been described by senior officers in Private as nothing short of scandalous and an abuse of democracy.
Coun Cutts hides behind a flimsy 0.1% of the population of Nottinghamshire to justify the dismemberment of our services for dogmatic reasons, with a majority of two on the council based on a few hundred votes either way in marginal seats.

Double Accounting for Cutts
It has been pointed out to us that team Vogon have justified cutting the welfare rights service (completely) by saying that people can gain advice elsewhere, and then separately justify cutting the grant funding to all the Notts CABs by saying that people can instead gain advice from you guessed it WELFARE RIGHTS.
As someone pointed out if you want to save money on benefit you don't want to help people claim more of it do you.

Smiling forbidden
I am sure that is no coincidence that the picture of the Chief Exec on his electronic newsletters has been changed. It used to be a smiling Mick Burrows addressing the staff who were on the whole happy to work for the benefit of the residents of Nottinghamshire. By direction from the top that has been changed and a very down-beat image now appears.
After all Cutts are no laughing matter. (Unless of course you have one of the three new cabinet positions with enhanced expenses).

New Slogan for the Vogon
Nottingham has the wonky N and the county removed one of the nuts from the logo at significant expense. The rumour doing the rounds at the moment is the Vogon has now paid a fortune for a new slogan to go with the re-branding, well we have one for Free.
"Nottinghamshire County Council - Putting the N in Cutts"

5p per building plot sale now on
Yes that's right you could have a prime building plot in Toton for just 5p. Not even the nearby Lidl store can compete with this generosity!
Some 8 years ago a developer applied for permission to build a large estate in Toton. The local MP and the Council insisted that thought be given to also building a school as the two local junior schools were full to bursting. Planning permission was granted and the land set aside, with a sum of money to build the school. Understandably the last County Council wanted to wait until the homes were sold and the young couples moving in actually bred before committing to build the school so a 5 year period was allowed from the first house being occupied to the school building being started. However, it was written into the permission that if the school was not built then the developer could buy the land back for £1 and build 20 more houses. That 5 year period is up early next year, the local schools are so full that children have to be bussed up to 5 miles to other schools but the County will not build.
Could it be because they have spent their budget propping up Danecourt school with falling roles, a debt of £1.1m and a Vogon as governor? Or is there a more sinister reason why a developer should gain a piece of land worth millions for just £1?

Let them Eat Cake
I have received a report from a local school teacher in one of the more deprived areas of the county who was doing an exercise on healthy eating with her class of 8 years olds. They were asked to draw a picture of what they had for dinner last night.
One girl was not drawing, and when asked why she said, I did not have any dinner my mum was out and no one gave me anything. While you have to blame the parent, this poor kids only proper dinner is her free school meal.
The very meals that Cutts and Co say don't matter, are not needed and a waste of tax payer money. These are said to be next on the local Tory hit list with Cutts doing the dirty work for Eaton educated Gove and Cameron and their poodle democrat mate Clegg, in their Multi-millionaire public school educated government, who know nothing or care nothing of kids like this poor girl.
