Under their proposed solution, Councils will make all street cleaners unemployed -thus saving the employement costs. They would then be 're-trained' under the Government's Back-To-Work scheme for a new career in street cleaning.
The MUPPET group spokesperson, Mr Ill-Informed Milnes said "This is a 'win-win' solution for Councils and their hard-pressed residents. Not only will the Councils be in a position to reduce residents Council Tax, the unemployment figures will remain unaffected -as the newly unemployed street cleaners will be on a Government training scheme and therefore not count within the figures."
Asked about the impact on unemployed street cleaners, Mr Milnes answered "Who cares about them, as long as I keep getting my pension and my Council Tax goes down, why should I worry?"
So there we have it, a group of pensioners with nothing better to do than become a right-wing think tank come up with a solution to get their Council Tax payments down and be damned about anyone else.
Fair, not really, but do you back their proposed solution?
Why have another pop at pensioners, what have they ever done to you?
ReplyDeleteFor years they have anticipated my movements, and organised a series of "go slow" cavalcades of motor vehicles that position themselves on the highway a few miles in advance of me. Once caught up, they are virtually impossible to pass.
DeleteAre you referring to pensioners, right wing think tanks or street cleaners?
DeleteThe street outside my house was cleaned this week. They'll fill in the potholes next.
DeleteAnonymous, if you don't purchase Manchester's equivalent to the Beano you won't understand the sarcasm. I believe back issues can be purchased on eBay or found blowing around the streets
DeleteThey could cut out the public sector, and force Immigrants and the Unemployed to lick the pavements clean. I'd be happy to kick them up the arse as they bent over to clean the streets.
ReplyDeleteI think you are a bit late for the 'bring a joke to work' to help raise funds for Red Nose Day
