Perhaps that is why we haven't seen Comrade Crackers around these parts lately. She has retired on full pension at 30 due to the stress of being battered from pillar to post on here and she is currently on that coaching holiday programme with all the oddballs and fairies making their way around Europe.

Karla is on the forum now. Maybe now is the time.

That's right. Kick a girl when she is on her knees. You brute.

remember, this sixth-rate d1vvy is in receipt of large amounts of our money. as are tens of thousands like her. we are all guilty, via our apathy, of allowing this to happen. as edmund burke didnt quite say; 'all that is required for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing'

Went to the park today, and came away thinking 'you know what, the council's parks and recreation boys have done a beautiful job here'.
There were beds of lovely flowers, beeches in leaf ( a little late but looking good ), people hacking golf balls round the shrubs and twists of the miniature golf, and a silvery clear and clean pond with appreciative ducks. Nobody was playing tennis though - councils always seem to provide under-utilised tennis courts - not sure why. It was a sunny day, a fair bit of cleavage on show, which is probably outside the council's control unless i'm misstaken, but overall a credit to the dept.

Still not clear why a PR department is required for this though when a good-looking and highly visible park ( it's next to a major bus route ) is all the publicity required.

This thread is a wonderful testament to Karla's stupidity.

Meanwhile the Council have lost a court case over their plans to use volunteers to run the Libraries.

Or stop sending every household in the County that pathetic propaganda sheet.

Or both

Good thread this. They ask a pointless and rhetorical question - I answer, although goodness knows why I bother and still they don't understand. It's a little like solving 2+2 for them several times and still they don't get it.

It took less time to find than the 4 minutes it took you to reply.

You on flexi-leave again?

Typical rancid response from the high priestess of all things rancid. Answers a question of her own making rather than the question asked and then continually lies that the question has been answered.

Shame on you crackers.

Now get back to sponging off the productive.

Euuuuuuuuuuuurrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Why do councils need PR departments?

It's because they have too much money to spend.

Any council that continues to operate a department of this nature should have their funding chopped back until they have to close it.

All non-essential services should be impossible through lack of funds.

"All non-essential services should be impossible through lack of funds. "

The problem with this of course, is that councils have the power to control their own spending.  So a Labour council will shut a library and fire a lollipop lady as opposed to firing a useless associate director on 80k + pension.  They can then wail that the Tory cuts have forced them to put a hard working lollipop lady on the funeral pyre.

Mr J. please don't you get into the Daily Mail mindset.
Ditch the tribalism; it has nothing to do with Party Politics.

The Council shutting my local libraries; and delivering magazines to every household in the County with advice on reheating leftovers under the ironic "What a waste" headline is TORY.
The days when this was the exclusive preserve of "Loony Left Labour", survive only in the minds of Littlejohn and his gullible followers.

I despise them all, until we can rise above the petty pointscoring we won't solve the problem.

"I despise them all, until we can rise above the petty pointscoring we won't solve the problem. "

Fair enough.  I'm happy to give Labour a break in the interests of dismantling the local government system.

we have litter police locally - who asked for them - meanwhile we can't get plod on the beat to protect the citizens  - fkn disgrace
parking nazis and litter police much more important then maybe preventing an old lady getting mugged
I have sh!t these creeps in town halls - fkn diverstiy, climate officers, racism awareness, cultral officers, - you couldn't make it up.
No wonder independants and ukip pick up votes or people just give up voting
Dangerous days!!!

So to recap:

Councils don't need PR departments and neither do the people. Councils choose to waste money on them because they extort too much money from their local community and want to spend it on telling us how good they are rather than showing us with the cost effective service they provide. Nobody would employ Crackers to sweep the streets let alone give her over 100 grand to post on here.

Is that it?

I'm sure Crackers will enjoy being referred to as an ar5e pimple.

I wonder if she will answer the question?
