This local authority is in debt,no surprise of course,every council has stacked up the overdraft on vanity projects and assorted rubbish.. but
Woking is in debt to the tune of over two billion pounds.
Two billion.
Who has oversight of this lunacy?
Why is everything rubber stamped by paper shuffling cunts ?
Why the fuck is every last corner of govt bureaucracy completely out of control?
Two cunting billion.
That’s a whole new carriage on the Gravy Train,all aboard..
Nominated by : Unkle Terry
Pretty much every council is bankrupt.. that’s what comes of giving clueless cunts power..
Theses people can’t balance a cheque book..
I read last week about a london deputy mayor only 20, can’t get a entry level job in McDonald’s.
But is in charge of a 100 million budget.. what could wrong….
Work doesn’t pay, time to take to the streets and kick people to fuck.. first stop parliament..

For every clueless councillor, you can bet there’s one that is far from stupid.
Hence why council contracts always seem to go to the highest bidder.
If you play it right, it’s a world of brown envelopes and free holiday villas in Spain.
And when you get found out, simply resign and offer your services to another council in a different area.
Repeat until retirement.
Morning, Barry.
Morning all.

I was watching a programme about Thailand, which is a place that I have visited lots of times, the last being about 25 year’s ago.
I remember Bangkok as being a crowded and run down city with terrible traffic problems.
It’s always been illegal to beg in Thailand, but you would be approached by many scroungers trying to sell you worthless shit to get round the begging laws.
Poor people would cook and sell food from makeshift barbecues on the pavements.
Seeing the place now, it’s a modern, clean city.
Bright lights, modern cars and successful businesses.
The same goes for the Maldives.
When I first went to the islands over 40 year’s ago, nobody had heard of them.
A full day of travelling with multiple transit stops followed by a 2 hour sail boat journey to one of the only four islands that adventurous tourists went to.
Powered by diesel generators with only sea water to shower in, the islands were extremely basic.
The Maldives is all 5 star now with hundreds of tourist islands.
I could tell you about Manilla and a few of the Malaysian islands.
I have always taken holidays in places off the beaten track.
But when I see these places now, I can understand where all the tourist money and investments has gone.
The transformations are incredible.
Then you look at Europe and especially at the UK.
These are places where the people are taxed beyond belief.
They have enormous economies.
But instead of moving forward and improving the countries, they have all regressed.
Governments, councils and all public bodies have no fucking idea how to run their finances.
London, Paris, Rome.
These beautiful cities are nothing more than shit holes.
They have gone back in time and now resemble north African slums.
So sad.

That timeline reads like the UK in microcosm.
Overpaid, overpromoted public sector fuckwits for whom running the proverbial whelk stall would be beyond their competence.
Borrowing money on someone else’s account then blowing it like a drunken sailor on shore leave.
Surely an obvious case of malfeasance in public office.

I’m anxious not to appear discriminatory in my cunting ( of course),so it’s only fair to mention that Woking is only running in third place for local govt debt piles..
The Almighty Lord Khan is sat atop £19 billion,way ahead of his rivals.
Birmingham trails way behind with a poxy £4 billion,followed by Leeds and Woking with over £2 billion apiece.
This for shit services,rampant pakis and potholes.
Fuck off,Oven.
Good morning.

Fear not. Councillor Burnham has a two part solution to this problem.
1. Give more powers to local authorities.
2. Increase council tax at ten times the rate of inflation when it invariably goes pear shaped.
Fucking brilliant!

NB. Blame for council tax rises in a labour borough is to be apportioned to the previous non labour administration.
If there has been no non labour administration in recent or living memory, blame Margaret Thatcher.

Woking District Council Debt £2,000,000,000 = £20,000 per person
UK National Debt £3,000,000,000,000 = £45,000 per person
(excluding unfunded state and off-balance sheet liabilities).
Almost all money borrowed today by the Government goes to pay the interest on existing borrowings. In short, the economics of the sink estate.
The day of reckoning is coming and it’s going to be bloody.

Bins emptied every 3 weeks, binmen don’t remember what property it belongs at so leave it in a 100 yard radius, pavements with trip hazards that resemble crazy paving, potholes straight from the battle of the somme,town hall like fort Knox if you are thinking of complaining, cycle lanes with barely a cyclist on them,HMO housing growing like Japanese knotweed, etc…2 billion in debt at woe-king but it’s a certainty that there will still be countless, pointless meetings in the HQ every day with more costly decisions that’ll benefit absolutely nobody… ‘councillor khan your proposal of a new mosque has been approved with unfortunately a 25% cut in other services for the project’ 😩

Labour/Tory/Lib-Dem local council leader = Shadow eu Gauleiter.

The answer is simple
Double the council tax (obviously only those who are working and not on a UC top up), so that will be less than half the households. Like everything else, who can we tax to pay more benefits.
The proposed mansion tax started at £2 million, now proposing 1.5 million, god help us after the budget.
The energy price cap expected to rocket in Jan, not to worry the government will protect the most vulnerable (aka idle benefit cunts and pension credit cunts)
Wibble.
