Greedy bastards turn out for the last free lunch

By The Basa ⋅ April 27, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

The Evening News was today reporting that the 20 greedy councillors didn’t miss their last grubby chance to have a free meal on the citizens of the city before taking their 20 grand because most of them realised that they were totally unelectable.
Thirteen sitting Labour councillors, five Tories and two Lib Dems have decided not […]

Bunty Backhander and the Wardie Crescent development

By The Basa ⋅ April 27, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

It seems that residents of Wardie Crescent are up in arms because one of their neighbours is building six houses in their back garden and didn’t go to the bother of applying for planning permission for the buildings.  Why, you ask!
