Local Government

clip_image002

Well, what if you can’t find enough cupboard space for every local government-mandated inspector that comes around to discover whether or not you are complying with the latest directive on precisely how you are to live your life in the currently approved manner? Don’t you realise that is exactly what all those various and multi-hued recycling bins are for – at least I presume so, not having had the hours necessary to peruse all the many leaflets that our most munificent council in their great wisdom and even greater - seemingly infinite – budget inundate us with every chance they get. What with all the leaflets, the new ‘initiatives’ and the council newspaper, one has to wonder where they manage to get the time to do the nothing they do so well in each and every other aspect of their multi-faceted endeavours, with all that results in so little happening despite so much being spent.

Then, when all is said and done, they are doing it for us… so they say.

However, we are we, but mere mortals without a mandate, to question these proclamations, pronouncements and all the other effluvia produced by our governing bodies whether local, national, European or even the UN… after all they must know what they are doing…

…mustn’t they?
