Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

If you want a quick 'skim of a read of it', here's a link to the Internal Inquiry Report on the above:

http://www.northamptonboroughcouncil.com/councillors/documents/g8317/Public%20reports%20pack%20Monday%2005-Dec-2016%2018.00%20Audit%20Committee.pdf?T=10

Notice carefully, that there are absolutely no names mentioned, in the report and so for that very simple reason, the whole thing is just a whitewash, IMHO.

That's how politicians get away with their lack-a-day mismanagement of our local affairs and how these idiots just chuck our money about.

Meanwhile, the whole town has tons of pot-holes, etc, etc. Well, need I go on? You know the typical story already, I'm sure.

I do hope, that someone somewhere, who is charged with the types of responsibilities for voting on and deciding where Council Monies are spent and allocated, learns something from this Northampton Council story and that the knowledge of it goes on and stops this kind of 'cock-up' from ever occurring again.

Did they not have a clerk of works to keep check on the progress?


The full £13.5m was rapidly loaned in tranches to the football club between September 2013 and August 2014, but the report found the council did not compare the scale of money being drawn down with the slow and stalled construction at the ground. “The physical progress of the stadium development should have provided a warning sign that the development was not progressing at the rate expected or in line with the funds provided,” the report said.

Is it worse than what may be happening to the UK as a whole.

uk 2016 thousands houses now have only beds but the houses are full of them
these homes avge 3 bed have over 9 migrants living in them some have over 14
they pay on avge 750 a month which is cheap for them as it works out at £75 a month
but the real losers are the councils and the services ,they only pay one council tax .
they go out in the night to dump the waste as they only have one bin .

the employers love these migrants its good for business
would the brits like their children to live like this .
the uk is back to pre vic days .

councils can not get access to these homes they have to go to court ,then they move out then move back in the next day .

reading about this issue is terrible the uk will be the new slums

Packed in like sardines, 31 migrants were discovered living in this four-bedroom north London home as two rogue landlords raked in £100,000-a-year charging each of them £65 a week in rent.
The scam was uncovered when council officers raided the property and found up to six tenants to a room and a woman living in a 'Slumdog Millionaire-esque' shack of pallets and tarpaulins.
The home in Wembley is only licensed for seven people. All 31 were forced to share two toilets.

this is happening all over the uk

the labor party, a blind man to count people coming to uk, a idiot to sell our gold cheap, most moves are done to promote the labor party, nothing to do with the workers, keep giving whole area 's away to house the rest of the world, you
have seen corbyn say wants more houses built to sound good but does not want to
plug the hole, labor supporters wake up. BB

Think the Scots have already done that black bird and the North of England coming a close second. Be interesting to hear the audience reaction on Question Time next week in Wakefield as opposed to last nights audience in London. Pity that wanker dim Tim won't be on the panel. :0)

Little Timmy Farron wouldn't go to those sorts of places they would lynch him .

"uk back to pre vic days." Wake up you idiot!!.

We no longer have workhouses, we don't send kids up chimneys and long ago cleared away all our inner city Victorian slums.

Look at the reality of life in modern Britain, less of the negative waves.

will you who needs to wake up and open your eyes and ears
councils are struggling to evict over populated homes migrants living rats .

read the reports , yes uk 2016 full of migrants living 6 or 8 to a room to save money
but destroying the local services and pay nothing
their are now more no areas in the uk than in Africa

on the outskirts of Stafford their is a farm over hundred run down caravans full of migrants when I spoke to a councillor about it he said yes we know and they pay noo council tax because of were they live and work on the land but use all the services
will not post what else he said

should we look the other way and let the country go down the pan

stop just talking and whinging; get out there and do something
suggest you run for local councillor or even mayor and then you can sort the whole thing out bingo with a machine gun and flame-thrower

The fact is cynic (whether you like his rants and raves all day or not) it is true this is whats happening this country is going down the pan , i really have had enough .

the country is going down the pan because of people like cynic who as no balls or guts

I would very much like to be given the job of protecting the uk and yes it would be shoot on site if they cross our borderes

the uk needs MAN LIKE TRUMP HE IOS NOT A FCUKING WIMP

LETS NOW HOPE THAT turkey opens the flood gates to the eu

just as you can't be given respect but have to earn it, so with your request

so get off your arse and start campaigning and prove to your local constituents that you are just the man they have been searching for
let us know how you get on

You are a bit radical even for me
