31 December

I can retire in 5 years so this stuff doesn’t make me lose sleep at night. But I feel for the people who work for local government who are subjected to nothing but a steady stream of ignorant abuse, day in and day out. It’s a part of our culture, to sink the boot into the local council. And Council staff get no right of reply, because they’re not allowed to make public comment. Whenever you see a local topic debated, I can promise you though pretty much everything you see about it on social media will be bullshit. And that Councils face the same challenges funding basic services, across the world.
