Lameside Council

Tameside council deserves a nomination.

This is something of a personal one for me because I happen to live just inside the border of this Labour run shit hole.

I have many reasons for nominating Tameside council, but I’ll stick with just one for now. Today, (Sunday 6th September) I read in the Mail that despite have a shiny new £43 million office building, situated in the borough capital of Ashton-under-Lyne, not one of the one thousand cunts who infest it have returned to their place of work.

Well actually, that’s not ENTIRELY true. Because while building the offices, the council decided to close the town’s library, situated in a beautiful Victorian building, and tack on a rather pathetic new library which is much, much smaller.

About four or five staff were there when I took my mother. Out of one thousand. They also did the same with the library in the town closest to me, Hyde. They shut the Victorian library in which it had been situated, and moved into a couple of rooms at the old town hall (which is also yet to re-open).

Tameside councils chief executive, Steve Pleasant (salary: £201,000) has posted a photo of his slippers, so I guess he’s not even slightly bothered that local taxpayers are not getting value for money from their employees. He’s also claimed that it hasn’t caused any disruption to services.

Well as I said, libraries are a service, and as of typing, Ashton library is the ONLY one in the borough currently open right now. So that claim is a bare faced lie. I won’t mention the length of time that the local tip was closed, and the road it was on turned into a temporary one system, because the council wrongly thought it would be overwhelmed.

Anyway the fact is, with proper precautions, there is no reason why at least half of council staff can’t return to work in the office that Tamsiders spent £43 million on. Tameside council, you are cunts.

  1. A worthy nom QDM and unfortunately a sign of the times nationwide. Covid is being used as an excuse for town council eco-Nazis to wage war on motorists with useless one way systems and underused cycle lanes. At my local tip you need to ring in and book a slot to dump your unwanted crap when it could have been easily manged by letting in a few cars at a time – so of course this has led to an marked increase in fly tipping and am assuming its a nationwide policy.

    • Quite right, LL. I was trying to blue-light a 11 month old into ED the other day, got stuck as the cunts in our local council have moved two lanes into one for a cunting cycle lane and ‘social distancing’. Poor fuckers in front of me had nowhere to go where before they could have shifted left.

      • There was a report a a couple of weeks ago, some place in the Greater London the cock suckers had done the same thing and the new ‘cycle lane’ was empty and the only lane left for traffic was rammed.
        Fucking ridiculous.

    • Oh dear yes. There is a road not far from me which is heavily used and always chocker. And now the silly cunts from Waltham Forest have put in a super duper double cycle lane. However, they have also left the pavement AND another cycle lane on the other side. So, we now have THREE fucking cycle lans and a pavement not being used, while the cars are squeezed into one lane each way. STUPID, STUPID cunts.

  2. When the council returns its ranks will no doubt be full of over paid top executives, bitter of menopausal woman, arsehole short man syndrome types and 32 absent women on maternity leave. And not forgetting the corrupt Nigerian housing Officer. and their millennial I’m on apprenticeship / daddy got me the job, 21 year girl with 17 A+ levels. She is as thick as fuck and was mostly likely given the job of reorganizing the library service, despite never using one.

  3. Stunning and brave👏👏👏

    All politicians, whether local, regional or national government, are self serving cunts.
    No doubt busy working out their next salary increase.
    Labour run councils put identity political ahead of provision of services.
    The public sector in the UK needs a massive shake up-fro the top down.
    Cunts.

    Unkle Terry-oven then please👍

    • 43million, what a piss take.
      Councils like to fritter taxpayers away without consulting the constituents.
      Stockport council would fit in well in South America, different companies in different names all council all a tax fiddle, the cunts had a few million dissapear,
      Never to be heard about.
      Councillors in my experience are money grabbing, greedy, corrupt as fuck, and self serving.

  4. I am utterly sick of public servants hiding under the blanket of Covid. I haven’t had a single day out of the office, mobilised back into the Army for three months, then returned back to the office. I haven’t seen a single case because the necessary precautions are working. I’m now being hampered in my work because I keep getting so-and-so is “working from home”. Yes, keep vulnerable people out of danger, but get work shy cunts back to work. My view is, if you can work from home, you’re deadwood. P45. Same applies to doctors who using this as an excuse to hamper the routine treatment of cancer patients, etc (DCI – happy to be corrected in this view). We are all going to have to get used to living with this virus and we can mitigate the risk of catching it. If we keep hiding under our duvets, our public services and economy will go down the tubes.

    Oh, and Labour councillors are cunts.

    • Teachers are also precious cunts, now threatening to sue the government if they catch Covid19. The truth is the lazy self-serving bastards are workshy cunts who overrate their own importance, the shopworkers, bus drivers binmen and police who had to work throughout these “unprecedented times”, unlike the fucking teachers.

      • Didn’t these ungrateful cunts recently have a payrise from a “thankful” government?

        They shouldn’t even be called teachers these days; “woke indoctrinators”, would seem more apposite.

      • WC-teachers have behaved like fucking snowflakes-this pandemic has exposed everything that is good and bad in humanity and our societies.

    • The economy has already gone down the tubes; it’s just that the shockwave is yet to hit us.

      • Not that the rich & powerful would even notice. In fact they might even benefit from an even greater and more desperate bunch of unemployed to pick as their humble servants way below min wage.

      • Nah – they’ll be up against the wall.

        🎶
        They got the guns
        But we got the numbers
        Gonna win, yeah we’re takin’ over
        Come on! 🎶

      • If only!

        But if the rich and powerful ever felt threatened by the Great (White) Unwashed, Boris would instantly call for martial law to take effect, and all of a sudden the reluctance of using water canon and soldiers on the streets would become a reality.

        We can’t have the rich put in danger now can we!

    • Can’t help you about cancer pt’s, Sarge, don’t have much to do with oncology bar transfers to and from hospices etc.

  5. I went there once.It was almost as big a cesspit as Oldham.
    The local councils idea of business is shipping in the vermin of the sands and Captains of the Gallic Dinghies by the thousands.
    I highly recommend hanging these poisonous commie bureaucrats.
    Overflow for the oven.
    CUNTS.

      • I remember Hyde, where the infamous Dr. Shipman had his GP practice.
        Killer Dr Harold Shipman died after being found hanging in his cell. A prison spokesman said Shipman had simply run out of patience!!

      • Could you imagine if Shipman had been alive during the COVID crisis?
        Picture the scene at the local Hyde police station . . . .”Hey Sarge, this is the 10th death certificate today where Dr Shipman has entered the cause of death as COVID. Does that seem right to you?
        Sarge : “That’s fine Jim. It’s what most people are writing on them.“ If they had a cough 28 days ago, then it’s Covid.

  6. No big surprise – they all see themselves as “key workers” and thus can do what the fuck they want and expect priority treatments.

    “I’m a key worker, don’t you know! I have to work from home.” Or more accurately get paid for doing fuck all at home. So no change there then.

    Fortunately, my local Tory council isn’t too bad compared to most others, but they’re still lazy, two-faced nazi-cunts of the first water.

  7. Fools the lot of them. I worked in county hall (Taunton) when I was straight out of ‘yooni’ some 20 odd years ago. They gave me the task of updating every single computer in the building with a patch or whatever it was. Gave me three months to do it. Each one took around 40 minutes or so and the worker couldn’t use their machine whilst I was performing the task. I’d have to do two or three at a time to minimise distribution apparently. All I did was stay late after every fucker had gone home and I could run an entire floors machines in one go. Took me a week. So they were basically wasting our council tax for me to chat to the young ladies for two and a half months. Idiots!

    • A couple of years ago I recommended to a local council something called Altiris Client Management suite, which is an all-in-one enterprise product that will take care of a department’s IT desktop environment, licensing, patch management, remote desktop updates, auditing, rollouts etc.

      Not only would it save a shit load of time and money, but would mean far less disruption to users as it could be done seamlessly and silently concurrently outside business hours.

      But they rejected the idea, saying it was too complicated/dangerous/risky blah blah, and they would need to have further discussions between themselves (excluding the IT bods who know all about it!)

      Ultimately they didn’t go for my idea, instead they stayed with the more convoluted, inconvenient and ultimately more expensive solution.

      Always thinking in the short term these cunts!

      • Well, we certainly can’t be having things cheaper, more efficient and secure in county hall can we? “But we’ve always done it like this!!” Well, I got some nice luncheon dates out of it anyway I suppose and a bit of work experience. Going from department to department, me, a young lad, just spending a week around it all before I went into evenings, could easily see so many ways that that place could’ve be ran so much better. “Excuse me, why are you using this to do that? Have you heard of this? It will save you so much time and the data will be… etc etc” They must’ve hated me. I’ve seen a few episodes of that American version of The Office, thinking back it wasn’t too dissimilar to that.

        I’ve always said that if I was in charge, the first thing I’d do would be to create a MOCS, ministry of common sense. It really wouldn’t need much of a budget, ironically.

  8. OT
    At last MSM report in the Telegraph that the French navy are shepherding illegals into British waters. Farage as been saying this for weeks. Come on Pritti, pull your finger out of your fat arse and do something. Morning cunts.

    • Surprisingly that was also reported on BBC Radio4 Today programme earlier this morning.

    • I wonder if that is breaking international law, a foreign government facilitating illegal immigration to another country….. it has to be, surely.

      Cunts.

      • Yes it is Sick – the UN convention on refugees and asylum seekers states clearly that they have to claim in the first safe Country they come to.
        France is breaking international law by dumping the filth on us, the dinghy beasts are breaking international law by travelling around half the World before arriving in mugland and the UK Government are breaking international law by accepting them.
        Get off your fat idle fkin arse piggy Patel.

  9. I hope that a group of homeless ex-servicemen move in and claim squatters’ rights. Then, when the council kick off, they all claim to be trån§bumders and pikey and pēaceful simultaneously and any move to evict them falls foul of hate laws and is entirely discrimininatory.

    • Barbados removing the Queen as head of state next year.
      Even Barbados having a pop at us now.
      😀😀

      • Morning MNC.
        Without the influence of the Crown, they’ll resort to their natural instincts (cannibalism) within hours of Head of State removal.

      • Morning Thomas,
        Morning all.
        Barbados would of been thrilled to be part of the Commonwealth at the time, a honour!!🇬🇧
        Now theyve given Liz her P45.
        Boris will still send them millions like he does for any country, open chequebook.
        Id invade the cunts.
        Melt them steel drums down for making bayonets!
        Start up a sugar cane business, all up off your arses not a carribean paradise anymore,
        This my friends is a labour camp.

      • It will be fun watching the Commonwealth Games in 2022!

        I think its been hosted in Birmingham, but I doubt there will be that many commonwealth countries left the way we’re going on!

      • TT MNC@ – I presume Barbados will be refusing the fortune in international aid the UK taxpayer hands over every year then?

      • They stole my hubcaps and made drums Foxy!!
        300quid they cost me nowcused to play “yellow bird”😞

  10. A photo of his slippers you say? Lazy cunt. Wouldn’t it be a terrible tragedy if a disgruntled, highly venemous arachnid decided to make one of his slippers it’s chosen abode for the evening?

    I happen to have in my keeping, a Brazilian Wandering Spider called Mr Whateley and he’s looking for a good home. He’s very ill-tempered but on the positive side, he’s left a Brazilian or two on the verge of death. Steve Pleasant sounds like a “refugees welcome” kind of cock cowboy so i doubt he’d be opposed to this charming migrant from South America. Imagine the look on Steve’s face after he goes to put his feet up after another productive day of doing fuckall and finds Mr Whateley in his slipper. Oh dear, Covid restrictions have limited the supply of antivenom on hand. Looks like it’s blinding agony and possibly death on the cards Steve.

    Well, one can dream.

  11. I used to live in Tameside. The best part of it was the exits. Labour ran and most likely always will be. As well as pissing local tax payers money up the wall they named a sports complex after the former council leader, Roy Oldham, despite him never achieving any sporting accolades. Absolute cunts

  12. 43 million on new council building is an utter disgrace. If I was in charge there would be a law against such extravagance. Everyone can fuck off to work from home whilst the builders are in renovating the existing building and if needed they can add an extension and/or convert the roof space, bound to be a fraction of the cost.

    Civic art is another piss boiling waste of money, again new law please. Take for example the art installation in Kingston Upon Thames which is a bunch of falling down phone boxes https://ih0.redbubble.net/image.9814122.4453/flat,1000×1000,075,f.jpg

    Now that revenue is down for a lot of these councils they are just going to start bleating about needing more central funding rather than getting their priorities right! I hope Westminster tells them to put up and shut up.

    Thank you and good morning. I hate councils me!

  13. I work for a north London Borough and they are doing nothing about getting us back in the office. Advice is still work from home.
    I’ve been in about four times in the last two months and there are about 20 people in on my floor that usually holds about 200.
    This council has been reducing staff numbers for years and then moving everyone down a floor on each occasion and then renting out the empty floors so I wonder if this is now helping out the next phase of job cuts or building sell offs?
    I decided on my return from holiday I’d go back in about three times a week just to relieve my boredom of working from home but was in Portugal as the covid corridor closed and so I’m now in 14 day quarantine. Bugger!

  14. My local authority are bone idle, piss useless crooks (legally proven).
    I would get rid – jumped up little shitbags with one of the highest Council Tax rates in England for the worst possible services, everything outsourced to fill the pockets of Councillors in shady deals, local Council Offices sold off on the cheap to a parasitic property developer who just happens to be related to one of the councillors, huge swathes of redundant industrial left to be a fly tipped eyesore while the Council spend tens of millions on greenbelt to build on.
    They need educating with a flamethrower.
    Good nom Q 👍

      • North Yorkshire County Council LLF – rich fat white magistrates ruling with arrogant contempt.
        I gave these types what could be politely described as “a jolly good telling off” at a Council/public meeting some time ago – my little rant made the local papers! 😄👍💪🏻

    • An astute move on the part of the port operators: whatever Grayling advises, they will know to do the exact opposite.

  15. This boils my water hotter than a kettle. I love the library. It’s not just the books, it’s the social experience as well.

    What also boils my water is people with naff excuses to be off work because of covids
    Elderly and infirm fair enough but teachers can fork right off.
    I work in a shop. I’ve been working all through this covid bullocks. Lots of people in there sneezing and snotting.

    Teachers: Get back to work you lily livered streaks of aqua vita.

    I need a lie down.

  16. My local library is superb Spoons – they run kids stuff, reading writing and maths and IT and 90% are local volunteers who give their time and goodwill.
    And now the local authority has closed it.

    • Vernon, it’s a right proper can of can’t.

      Even with volunteers helping out, they still closed it. Fork sake.

      I imagine if Nurse C was here she’d say that it steams her bosoms.
