To the gentleman (?) in the black BMW (GP03 RRV) I just saw parked virtually in the middle of The road on Upland Road as I came out of the book shop... I and others saw you urinate in the street.. Do you have no pride ?


Not that I suspect you will read this but thought maybe some of your friends might...

It don't work like that in this country Lou..


We remove litter bins so we can fine people that drop litter..

We close Public Conveniences so we can prosecute and hand out ASBOS to those that pee in the street..

We make Parking difficult so we can hand out fines to those that stop for a couple of mins. to pop into a shop.


That's how Councils make a lot of their money.. Fines and Taxes..


If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,

If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.

If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,

If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Well... Perhaps indirectly...


I suspect certain council employees may be handsomely rewarded for coming up with any money making 'incentive'


They always have excuses..


Remove litter bins because Terrorists can plant bombs in them.. (Mainly West End)


Close Public Toilets because they attract Drug users and Sex offenders..


Restrict parking because it's dangerous... Then install 'Charged Parking' in the same place.


It just goes on and on..

    • Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
