RESIDENTS are opposing plans to Build a house just yards from an existing betting shop. <br />
<br />
Mr Ali Plotowski Sung-ll has submitted a planning application to turn a unit next to
the current Asda store in Hollins Road into a house.. <br />
<br />
Objectors say there is already a house 200 yards away - and question
how the conversion would benefit the area. Council’s planning
officers have recommended the application for approval. <br />
<br />
Council leader Councillor Jimmy, 'Little Pudden Face' McMahon has previously hit out at the
proliferation of houses and bungalows - which he
says prey on the poor and vulnerable. <br />
<br />
Houses need planning permission or change of use consent
unless a councillor asks for a plain brown envelope or someone finds out and the proposal has to be discussed in
public. <br />
<br />
Councillor Jean Stretcher, <strike>occasional table</strike> cabinet member for being un-cooperative and
whoops there goes the neighbourhood and backward councillor for Hollinwood, is leading the fight
against the plans and has referred it to the council’s planning
committee. <br />
<br />
She said: “I don’t think we need any more houses in Hollins Road,
and it is certainly not the best use of the unit. I would be in support
of any measure that means we don’t get more maisonettes and designer homes.” <br />
<br />
Mr Sung-Il declined a request to comment from his huge gambling empire on the Pacific Rim. B.B.

<div id="news-info">
<div class="dateonline">
<br />
</div>
</div>
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: large;">OLDHAM pupils were so badly behaved on a trip to Chester Zoo their school has been banned for two years. <br />
<br />
Officials say the actions of 29 children from the Radclyffe School,
Chadderton, were so inappropriate they threw them out of the zoo. <br />
<br />
Around 300 students were on the trip — intended as a treat for year nine and ten youngsters. <br />
<br />
But the conduct of some children was so disruptive zoo officials says
they had no option but to enforce the ban, which will last until 2015.</span></span>

<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>Ground breaking initiative from local school</b></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span><br />
<br />
In an attempt to increase their knowledge of the natural world, school governors and Mr Wishy Washy the Head of The Radclyffe School, Chadderton, have formulated a plan to introduce knobheads, scallies, recidivists,and other general time wasters to the great animal kingdom. As soon as the teachers have become acclimatised to the new regime, <strike>pupils</strike> <strike>bother causers</strike> the brain dead little bastards will be in for a great treat. Once a week they will be securely locked in stinking cages, (a homely touch this), whilst keepers from Chester Zoo will parade a selection of unfamiliar animals before them. Zookeepers have pledged that there will be no bad behaviour from the animals. Any Camels or Llamas caught spitting at the chosen ones will be barred from the school for a minimum two year period. Any Hyena uttering as much as a snigger will have steps taken against it that will utterly astound it. Any of the scruffy, threadbare Baboons discovered sitting in prominent positions idly scratching their scrotums will be sent back to Teacher Training College, (or 'The Pub' as we call it). There they will undertake course 47-00-illusion. <span style="color: lime;">"Whatever made me think I had any talent for this job?"</span> Free maps to the Job Centre will be provided, (only to those who can prove an ability to read.)<br />
As a special treat at the end of the visit all the cages will be opened and the little shitheads will enjoy free association with Ronnie and Reggie , the zoo's lovable pet Rhinos. B.B.

Perennial pillock. Councilor Gushforth. exhausted after an all-night session counting the town's assets. displays our accumulated wealth. Well, he would have done but it's believed our beloved leader, St Jim of Failseverywhere, took it home in a carrier bag as he thought it would be more secure under his mattress, than have all those bent Councillors nosing about in it. Total cash counted in record time amounted to £7.36p. This is believed to be the down payment on the Wilmott Dixon Town Hall conversion or the Wilmott Dixon Hollinwood Micro Industrial Estate. A close inspection of the strongbox revealed two large overstuffed envelopes behind that left hand door each bearing the name Gushforth and what came as a complete surprise--the fact that the back of the safe had been removed. </div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"The price of a plot in Saddleworth’s historic cemetery has been doubled and 'outsiders' will have to pay double the new cost — four times as much as before." </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">SPC is raising prices by more than 100 per cent to £1,500.
And those from outside the picturesque villages will pay £3,000. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The
dramatic rise comes as councillors, who have no real powers to do anything, attempt to make the Uppermill’s
Gellfield Lane cemetery a more pleasant place to be laid to rest than
its current “overgrown” condition. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since when have the dead been interested in the view and amenities - The Dead Don't Care!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Councillor Neil Allsopp, scrattin' about to find summat to justify his existence, defended the rise, intended, he said, to cover the cost of essential repair work<a href="http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/8/news-headlines/73693/parish-doubles-burial-costs#" id="_GPLITA_1" style="display: none; outline: medium none; text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by Text-Enhance">work</a> to iron gates, do grounds maintenance and even extend the land occupied by the cemetery. Oooh goody! More room for the late worthies of Saddleworth to stretch their legs or perhaps have a quick kickabout. That is if anyone remembered to include, among the plethora of necrotic delights in their burial instructions, a football, in addition to Country Life, a bottle of Mateus Rose, a white rose perhaps, (as long as they weren't incomers) and of course, a copy of "Upstairs & Downstairs" in their list of paraphernalia to accompany them <strike>to</strike> from the promised land</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He
said: “The cemetery won open-space awards 20 years ago for being an
outstanding example of design, but now it looks untouched, uncared for. A
lot of work needs to be done to bring it up to standard.” What standard?? The dead could care less if they were buried in the Sumatran jungle!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The only people worritin' about it are them who are left,. They're worritin' cos they know that's where they are going to end up and it offends their Saddleworthian sensibilities, especially if they have just been highly placed in The Oldham Lie-bour Chronicle's best kept garden competition.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Councillor Lord, Chair (or Wardrobe or Commode or whatever) of SPC is adamant that the rise is too much. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“The graveyard has always made a profit, without prices having to be put up. We are going to get slammed for this," he said. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Is profit the function of a graveyard? If so let's have stalls selling funerary flim-flam,(plastic angels, bright flashing lights, pictures of Volvos etc), drinks and pies, little whizzy windmills and undersoil heaters to keep their darlings warm during the long, (very, very, very long winter of their interment). </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“This
is a service we provide for the people of Saddleworth, but £1,500
extra for people not living in Saddleworth is just too much.” Surely it's a service for the dead! Not that they care!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It will now cost £750 for exclusive rights to a plot and £750 for burial. What if the plotholder wanted to build a Mausoleum, say like the Taj Mahal, on their plot? Obviously the 'floor plan' would be a little tight, but would there be any restrictions on the height of these edifices bearing in mind the precedents set in other parts of the Borough on religious buildings?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now if OMBC were to officially annex the cemetery into Lancashire the worthy occupants would begin spinning faster and faster until eventually we could harness them to generators and provide free electricity for most of Greater Manchester.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The following line is taken verbatim from the Oldham Liebour Chronicle. Explain in five hundred words or less!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">Prices have increased by over 100 per cent since they were last raised three years ago.</span> </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And finally, it was reported that Oldhamers pay around £1,200 to be buried elsewhere in the borough.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course it will cost a lot more if you want to be buried in a cemetery!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I personally would like to be <strike>inturd</strike> interred on a line and length at the pavilion end at Werneth CC, Close to the bar and safe from any chance of being disturbed! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Seriously though folks, this is a bad move by the Parish Council. In these straitened times it won't be long before the beautiful Saddleworth countryside is blighted by the ever growing menace of FLY-TIPPING!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The two faced prick is now drawing £32,220 a year for fucking this town over! Hardly a day goes by without some disaster striking the town. Does the moon faced loon do anything about it? Has he a clue what to do, apart from drawing huge allowances? Nonsultations and promises of what blessings we are to receive in the future are the sum total of the wastrels time in charge. Nothing has happened since the day he ascended the gilded throne. This is his second, part-time job. How much are all you miserable buggers in Oldham drawing this year. Does it not make you swell with pride as all your hard-earned Council Tax is spent so wisely? Thirty-two households donated their Council Tax to this worthless piece of shit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is no mention of allowances for the other fifty-nine fucking leeches. You can bet if there are any increases in allowances to be had, the fucking set of totally useless tosspots will have trousered them with alacrity. We estimate the worthless fuckers will cost us £1,000,000 for the current year. One thousand households supported this band of chancers and money grabbers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of worthless pieces of shit: Pudden-Face's partner in crime Mr "Best man for the job" Charlie 'Turd' Parker slides the council Tax from 230 households into his bank account. We figure this is unearned income as no-one has a fucking clue as to what, if anything, the oily, smiling, con-artist, actually does for a living. No one, either, has a clue how he got the job. other than he worked for a company that had been ripping off the Council for years. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So we have approximately One Thousand, two hundred and sixty-two households contributing all their hard-earned to supporting the money-for-nowt lifestyles of sixty-one of the most vacuous parasites ever inflicted on this town. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What exacly do they mean when they say Oldham Council 'Only' spent £47,317 on the Mayoral role in the past year? Is this meant to make us feel good? How does the Chron know Oldham's mayor is good value for money compared with other local authorities? How many other LA's have they compared apart from Kirklees Council who spent over £146,000 for the same job? The respective costs for the two are £129 per day for OMBC versus £400 per day for Kirklees. That's a huge difference for the same job. The director of resources for Kirklees said it was unclear whether the two councils had used the same methods to calculate mayoral costs. Anybody from the Chron investigate further? Can nobody find the figures used to calculate the cost? Is anyone going to try? Given the usual mendacity of Oldham councillors it is more than likely that the figures are similar but Oldham's set of artful dodgers have probably had the books in a slow oven for some time and the real cost will be buried elsewhere. There will be the usual string of excuses as to why they cannot produce the 'actual' figures - you know the score:- 'The dog ate them,' 'an office junior left them on a bus,' 'they accidentally fell into the shredder,' 'burglars broke into the Civic Centre and stole them,' 'there was a huge fire in the records dept. luckily the fire brigade were able to confine the blaze to the purchase ledgers and the councillors allowance book.'</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The new Mayor Councillor Olwais Chattering, took over the chains of office recently. About as much use as a stripper in a nudist colony. Should be chained to the wall at the bottom of that fucking great 'ole on Union Street.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is another 47 council taxes gone. The total now is 1,309 council taxes just blown into the wind and nothing to show for them. </span></div>

<div style="color: red;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>We need an independent voice - not a puppet!</b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If a local reporter handles his assignments by uncritically supporting every decision, however ridiculous, that is taken by his 'precious' sources in local government, this shows a serious lack of judgement or a lack of moral fibre.They and we, would be better served by them being reassigned to cover jumble sales or Sunday School outings where they could do far less damage. In local politics however, normal journalistic mores appear to fly out the window as objective reporting and news gathering play second fiddle to avoiding upsetting their masters in the corridors of power and conserving what they, (in this town at least, laughingly think of as 'their sources'.) Scoundrels are lauded, brain-dead lice are puffed up as though minor Einsteins, half-baked plans are reported enthusiastically, no thought being applied to cause and effect. As long as we have a story that is what matters. Not - What effect will this have on our citizens and the fabric of the town. Anyone disagreeing with their biased outlook is a bother-causer or a moaner and out to oppose what THEY - the press think is best for us. We are being taken for granted more and more. Any wishes that we may have are wafted away under cover of 'Nonsultations' and surveys, or are totally ignored altogether. We do not trust politicians and trust in journalistic probity is now being compromised. The local press should concentrate on reporting fairly, the facts on local matters and leave matters of judgement to US!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="background-color: black; clear: both; color: black; text-align: center;">
<u style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Councils will have 'no money' for main services by 2020</span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: black; clear: both; color: red; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="background-color: black;"> </span><span style="background-color: black; font-size: large;"> Councils will no longer be able to pay for any libraries, parks, leisure centres or fixing potholes in roads by the end of this decade because of a catastrophic funding crisis, they warned today</span></span><span style="background-color: black; font-size: large;">.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #f3f3f3; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fucking Norah!! How the fuck will we manage when there is no more money for all the new libraries, parks, leisure centres, especially leisure centres and pothole filling???? The town will be well and truly fucked!! So, enjoy these halcyon days of plenty! make the most of our world class facilities - Read 'til your eyeballs burst - wallow in the endless pursuit of leisure at our award winning centres - glide effortlessly along our glass smooth roads. But be warned, all these luxuries you have become accustomed to, will soon be a thing of the past.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">Financial estimates carried out for the leaders of every major local authority in England and Wales show that funding for services used by millions of people will be shrunk by up to 90% by 2020</span>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #f3f3f3; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can some mathematically gifted reader explain to us and the mentally challenged fuckwits on the council, what effect will shrinking nowt by 90% have on the services we have come to love and rely on in this town?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is reported that even after cutting over 200,000 jobs, curbing executive pay and slashing spending on services, the figures indicate that a funding crisis will be unavoidable.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #f3f3f3; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Whoa!!! Hang on a cotton-pickin' minute!! How many of these 'jobs' were cut in the 'Bountiful Borough'? Well?? How many have you heard of since Jimmy 'Fill mi wallet' Pudden-Face announced " over 400 redundancies? We reckon NONE just about covers it.(Lie-bour making their own redundant? You're 'avin a fuckin' laff). How many executives have had their pay curbed and by how much? We reckon NONE just about covers it. How much slashing has been going on? We reckon NONE just about covers it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">After meeting legal obligations for providing care and for street cleaning, councils currently have a total of £24.5 Billion left to fund all of their other </span><strike style="color: red;">madcap schemes</strike><span style="color: red;"> </span><strike style="color: red;">self aggrandisement plans</strike><span style="color: red;"> </span><strike style="color: red;">money pits ideological stupidities</strike><span style="color: red;"> less urgent commitments. By 2020 that figure is projected to fall to 8.4 Billion - a two thirds cut, or 80% in real terms. If council's current obligations such as paying for bus passes and servicing the ever expanding PFI scams on building projects are included in the commitments , the money left for everything else will fall by 90% - or, in real terms, will be virtually wiped out.</span> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Aha! here we are ahead of the game! We have been wiped out for years now but nobody will admit it. At least if the money available falls by 90% we will have the cushion of the other 10% to cover councillors allowances. We must get our priorities right!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: red; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The chairman of the LG Association said: "By the end of the decade councils may be forced to wind down some of the most popular services they provide." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #f3f3f3; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bloody Fuckin' 'ell! What the fuck will we have left? Let's start preparing for the worst! We invite entries for the "Most popular services we provide - which of them are to be fucked off" competition. Simply write, on a postcard the name(s) of the popular service YOU would miss least and send it off to:- </span></div>

<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
1. Free prescriptions are </span><b style="color: #f3f3f3;">not</b><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> free.</span><br />

Every time you whine for more, people like me end up with a little less.

<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
That £1.2 million house the council put you in? We paid for that.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
That plasma TV, that washing machine, that fridge and that cooker? We paid for those.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
Those benefits you get every week? We paid those.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
Don't get me wrong here. I know we have to support those who need a leg
up from time to time, but do we have to carry you for your whole three
score and ten? Really? How does that make you feel? Can you look
yourself in the mirror every day and feel any sense of pride whatsoever?</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
I am </span><b style="color: #f3f3f3;">not</b><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> talking about the genuinely needy. I am </span><b style="color: #f3f3f3;">not</b><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> talking about the elderly. I am </span><b style="color: #f3f3f3;">not</b><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
talking about the vulnerable. Any society must be judged on how it
takes care of those in need. I both agree with that and I applaud it.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
It is those who </span><i style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>will not</b></i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> </span><a href="http://captainranty.blogspot.com/#" id="_GPLITA_2" style="color: #f3f3f3; text-decoration: underline;" title="Powered by Text-Enhance">work</a><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">.

Newsflash: the world owes you fuck all.</span><br />

<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
I've been there and done that. I recall a time when I didn't even have
one ha'penny to rub against anything. There was no work in my town.
Things looked bleak. You know what I did? I moved to a town where there </span><i style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>was</b></i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> work. It took a couple of months but I sorted myself out. I took shitty </span><a href="http://captainranty.blogspot.com/#" id="_GPLITA_0" style="color: #f3f3f3; text-decoration: underline;" title="Powered by Text-Enhance">jobs</a><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
rather than take the dole for longer than was absolutely necessary. I
discovered that once you are working more opportunities open up for you.
Radical, I know, but the satisfaction of taking care of you and your
own, is fantastic.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
But FFS stop going on and on about everything being free. It </span><i style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>isn't.</b></i><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
You are just half of the problem. The government is the other half. They
waste money in mind-blowing quantities. It's almost as if they are
trying to win some sort of award for pissing away the most money ever.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
I am sick and tired of paying for their incompetency and your idleness. </span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
I don't mind chipping in, but as more and more people come from foreign
shores, expecting to be gifted whatever they need, and nationals just
taking the piss generally, my "chipping in" looks more and more like
direct support. Is it any wonder I don't want to be robbed of 80% of my
earnings?</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
As far as I am concerned, the less I allow them to steal, the less they
have to hand out to the feckless. The less they have to give to India
for space programmes. The less they have to give to Brazil, </span><i style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>the same Brazil</b></i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
in South America that produces all that oil. The same Brazil that can
and will host the Olympic Games in 2016. They do not need our money.
Cancel all those cheques. Tell them no.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
Those</span><i style="color: #f3f3f3;"> <b>faux</b></i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> charities. Those quangos. Those ineffective
NGO's. That Foreign Aid. The same Foreign Aid that buys AK-47's by the
container-load for the latest up and coming warlord. I am tired of
funding them.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
The EU. More wasted money. Unbelievable amounts of our money gets sent across to that thieving outfit.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
Failed and failing banks. Untold amounts of our tax go on those bastards. Let them die.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
What we need is a prime minister with titanium nuts. One who will
happily admit that our "generosity" is killing us. One who will make the
changes this country needs to thrive and survive.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
Here's another newsflash: it ain't Cameron. It ain't Millibland either.
The Conservatives, and that bastard traitor Heath started us down this
ruinous path in 1972, and Labour just kept on truckin'. The LibDems are a
waste of oxygen. The Conservatives in coalition with the LibDems is an
embarrassment to us all.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
What we need are politicians that care more for their country than they do for their parties.</span><br />
<br style="color: #f3f3f3;" />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">
Then, and only then, will any progress be made.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;"><b>Mouchel's restructuring deal leaves shareholders with nothing</b></span><br />
<br />
<b style="color: lime;"><span style="font-size: large;">Crisis-hit services group Mouchel has gone into administration, enabling it to sell the business to its lenders and management in a deal which will leave shareholders with nothing. </span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">On Friday night Mouchel appointed KPMG as administrators to oversee the deal after shareholders voted against the very same proposals which would have left them with 1p a share.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds Banking Group and Barclays will write off £83m of debt in exchange for an 80pc stake in the new, delisted company, while management will own the remaining 20pc</span><span style="font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">RBS, Lloyds & Barclays!!! Fuck me what a gang of thieves have moved in there. Why would the Banks want to take this on? Their one hope is that the company can be turned around and sold at a profit. But who would want to buy a company that has been a loss maker for several years now and is operating in a shrinking market. Who would want to employ a bunch of losers to run their organisation when they can't even operate their own company successfully? </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Chairman David Shearer said the deal had safeguarded the future of Mouchel. “Ultimately, the only losers are the shareholders themselves who have lost out on the 1p a share special dividend. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Oh that's OK then! When people come back on Tuesday after the bank holiday Mouchel will be restructured and sorted and that’s it.” </span> <br />
<br />
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it?? Aye that's it for the shareholders but what about David Shearer???</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, he stands to pocket a £400,000 bonus for his work in restructuring the support services group. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Under the debt-for-equity rescue deal, which was announced last week and practically wipes out shareholder investment in return for cutting the company’s huge debts, Mr Shearer will be paid a total of </span><b style="color: yellow;">£650,000</b><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">, a document circulated to investors showed. Of this,</span> </span><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">£150,000</span><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #f3f3f3;">is Mr Shearer’s yearly fee for being chairman, a further </span></span><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">£100,000</span><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #f3f3f3;">is paid to Buchanan Shearer, a consultancy he created</span> <u><span style="color: red;">two weeks before he was appointed to chair Mouchel</span></u><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">, and the remaining </span></span><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">£400,000</span><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #f3f3f3;">is an additional fee paid “in the event of a capital restructuring” taking place before the end of the year. So...No incentive to sell the whole shooting match down the river then???</span></span><br />
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mr Shearer, a turnaround specialist who led the successful restructuring of house builder Crest Nicholson, was appointed Mouchel’s chairman on January 9. That's January 9 This year folks. For THIS he gets £650,000?? What a fucking obscenity!!! 228 days "work" @ £2850 per day! If this is a turnaround I'd hate to see one of his outright failures! </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Mr Shearer said the money which would have been paid out to shareholders, amounting to a total of £1.14m, would now go towards costs associated with administration. That's a kick in the balls ain't it shareholders? They killed your investments and now you are paying for the funeral. With the transfer of ownership completed on Saturday. Mr Shearer said the administration process should be viewed “purely as a restructuring mechanism.” Which is extremely fortuitous for him as a restructuring mechanism just happens to have netted him £400,000. Nice work if you can get it.</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking at a company extraordinary general meeting on Friday, one
shareholder described the offer of 1p per share as “a slap in the
face”. Shareholders ultimately failed to back the resolutions in
sufficient numbers to vote them through, leading to the administration
process which has left them with nothing. </span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The company which was carrying £170m of debt, with gross liabilities of £220m after pension costs were included is now worth just £5m after being valued at £537m four years ago and rejecting a £330m takeover bid from VT Group in 2010.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: red;">On Friday night chief executive Grant Rumbles, who will remain at the helm of the company, said: </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">“The financial restructuring is critical for us. I’m very proud and very happy.”</span> <span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Can the gormless fucker tell us what he has to be proud of? He's no doubt happy because he has managed to get his feet into the golden trough! He said management had already implemented a plan to return Mouchel back to profitability.If it were that easy why, by all that's fucking holy, didn't they implement this wonder fucking plan before the shit hit the fan?? Couldn't have been making a bid for the payoffs could they???</span></span><br />
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mouchel has already incurred fee costs associated with the restructuring process of almost £18m, with the list of advisers including Goldman Sachs. Well there's a fucking ginormous surprise!!! </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, What the fuck has all this to do with us? Well, you all know Mouchel or under the alias they use in the town The Unity Partnership. They are the unnecessary level of administration in the Godawful running of this town. The Council, (who couldn't run a bath), handed over the running of a large part of our council services to the twats who couldn't even run their own show. (losses for this year are over £10 Million) The Council also hand over a large wedge of your money each year and it seems mostly to have ended up in the deep pockets of the directors of this dubious company.</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What has happened to all the people who used to do the jobs taken over by the Mouchel Mob? Pretty much nothing as far as we can see. We are running double manned. </span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do we want these tossers, (who seem to be about as bright as the average Oldham Councillor), running our town and draining large amounts of our money away from the area? They are going to be trying to get every penny they can out of us. Do you trust the Twats in The Tower to exercise due diligence? Half the pricks couldn't understand a bus ticket never mind complex accounts. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: lime;">You have been warned - watch 'em like a hawk -Then get rid before they do a runner!!!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Plans to turn Oldham's old Town Hall into £10m leisure complex with eight <strike>seat</strike> screen cinema</span></h2>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Eight screen cinema - high end restaurants and cafes - A new facade, creating new entrances and a foyer to the building, would
be highlighted with a 'light box' made of translucent glass offering
impressive views over a new pedestrianised square. Impressive??? You've got to be easily pleased if you think that a view of an abandoned store and the frickin featureless wall of the benighted </span></span><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-size: large;">Spingles </span><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-size: large;">shopping <strike>Mall</strike>
shop is impressive!</span><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-size: large;"> Pedestrianised because there ain't no parking
spaces. None?? Nope! not a one! The existing car park will be scrapped
to make way for the extension,
with room only for four disabled parking bays and 27 cycle spots, and a
drop-off and pick-up point. </span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
plans show a 1,000-seat eight-screen cinema, four
restaurants/cafes and a new outdoor area to act as a stage for social
and community events. Patrons will include four Blue badge holders and
twenty-seven members of the 'Sturmey-Archer Lycra Lovers & Pedal
pushers Club' By the by, has anyone ever seen twenty-seven cyclists
descend on a motion picture palace at any one time. Just asking! I bet</span> <span style="font-size: large;">they'd be fun to sit next to on a wet night in January! As for <b>four</b> disabled drivers turning up at the same time, that is sheer fantasy.</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">A translucent glass extension to the Clegg Street side will provide a
new entrance, allowing cafes to sp</span><span style="font-size: large;">ill out on to a new public area. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The
Clegg Street side will be retained under the glass wall, protecting it. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The council-owned building has been the subject of several development proposals over the years, none of them acted upon. This scheme will probably have the same dismal outcome after dragging along for ages with no progress.</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Planners say the transformation will act as a catalyst to town centre regeneration and economic improvement. It's a fair bet the town centre is by now too far gone to be revived.</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who is going to develop the site? Who is going to finance it? The site does not appear to be large enough to accommodate all the fanciful dreams and £10 Million seems rather a low sum for such a grandiose scheme.</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Is there anybody or any company with the spare cash and balls to invest that sort of money, time and effort into providing an ill thought out scheme for the sorry semi-derelict town that Oldham has become. This remember is the town that at one time had at least twenty-two cinemas (that we know of - maybe YOU know of more). </span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What do the fucktits in the Tower Of Shite have to say??? 'Who needs car-parking?' Metroshite will be handily placed on Union Street. Handy for whom???</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The people of Hathershaw- Fitton Hill - Abbeyhills - Roundthorn - Clarksfield - Lees - Springhead - Grotton - All the villages of the Republic Of Saddleworth - Greenacres - Watersheddings - Moorside - Scouthead - Sholver - Royton - to name but a few! Or are they all destined to have their own tram service?? Nah! Town Hall will have fell down before that could be achieved.</span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We'll believe it when we see it!! More smoke and mirrors from Jimmy 'The Flannel' Pudden-Face. </span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #f3f3f3;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Note the picture - There are so few people in the town these days that extras from Ghosthunters had to be drafted in. A rum crowd they are too - the guy in the centre has apparently been stabbed in the lower leg and is bleeding heavily. The wee guy on the right (probably Diddy Dave Hibbert) appears to have discovered the Stargate Portal and is about to step through and return to civilisation. Notice too, that with only £10 Million to play with there was not enough cash left to replace the mouldering wooden windows that have <strike>graced </strike> disgraced the building for far too long.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">THE GRAFT GOES ON!!</span></b></span><br />
<h1>
</h1>
<div id="news-info">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week it was reported that Oldham MBC paid out over £100,000 to each of twenty staff members last year, comprising salaries, expenses, pensions and payouts(sic).</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Figures from The Taxpayers’ Alliance show the local authority is among the top
English councils for employees receiving remuneration packages of more
than £100,000. <br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;">The TPA rich list revealed chief executive Charlie Parker
collected a total of £216,000 in salary, fees, allowances, expenses and
pension contributions. </span><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Is the smiling twat worth even a fraction of that sum for operating what is, in effect, a bankrupt business?? What has the tosser achieved since his arrival apart from lining his pockets?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Eleven members of staff earned more than £100,000 during 2010/11 </span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />
Seven senior posts were revealed as earning a six-figure sum by the
Taxpayers’ Alliance — along with five</span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: red;"> “unknown members of staff</b>." The
local newspaper The Oldham Liebour Chronicle understands one of the posts may be a school’s head teacher. <br /><br />
One time executive director of adult social services Veronica Jackson
received £66,000 in compensation for loss of office when she bowed out
in February, 2011, which added to her £128,000 annual salary. </span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />
Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the TPA, said:
“Taxpayers will be </span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><strike>astonished</strike> fucking gobsmacked that so many council employees are still
getting such a generous deal while everyone else in the public sector is
facing a pay freeze. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Over a week later we are hearing a deafening silence!!! The Chronicle has quietly and conveniently dropped the matter, swept under the carpet for fear of offending their masters in the Tower Of Babble.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For over two years we have been warning about this! Now the OEC has stumbled upon the truth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The latest figures for 2010/11 show Oldham had pension assets of £602m against liabilities of £743.4m. The Taxpayers' Alliance warns that the shortfall is a ticking time-bomb and fears that there will have to be a massive council tax increase to cover the deficit of £141.4m. This deficit amounts to £634 per head of the population of the town. Look at that figure again folks - That is not per household but each person in the town, every one of us. This is the third highest deficit in the Greater Manchester area behind Manchester and Salford. The TPA warns that future generations of taxpayers will be saddled with this problem for years to come. Pension liabilities continue to outweigh assets and the situation is far worse than two years ago. Don't forget folks you have already paid for this once. Your money has been frittered away and now it looks likely they will come looking for you to pay it all over again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps Little Jimmy Pudden-Face can enlighten us all on how he intends to rectify this situation. The town is skint - money intended for pension schemes is diverted to pet projects - the deficit grows. Do you seriously think we are going to get any new facilities and amenities with this hanging over us? The retards are desperate for Metrostink to commence operations as they think they are going to get a huge wedge of moolah from the operating profits, which will drag them out of the shite. Way the fucking tram fiasco is shaping up, the town will have closed down and died before we ever see a sodding tram.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where are the savings little chubby-chops promised? Where is the slimming down of the fat cat departments up yonder tower? We have had nothing but empire building, meetings about discussions over talks about plans for pie-in-the-sky grandiose schemes that will come to naught. Millions are wasted on "Unity Partnerships," PFI's, district Town halls and the legions of Liebour sycophants staffing them. Perhaps our dimpled cheeked leader could arrange for another 400 council employees to be not made redundant.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Read the post "Rough Trade,' below. See the leeches strutting about London at our expense. For what? For nowt! A puffery for the fucking jolly boys. Tickets from £170 each up to £720 each! How many did <b>WE</b> purchase? At what cost? Do you think they will tell us? Not a fucking chance! Like all Liebour parasites they love spending other people's money - especially on themselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Considering the state the town is in do you folks feel this was a wise decision? WE REALLY HAVE TO MAKE OURSELVES HEARD. Why not zap off an e-mail to the three sponges we know went on the jolly, demanding they repay <b>OUR</b> money they squandered! Something on the lines of :-</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The unprincipled piece of shite Joe 'Fixer' Fitzpatrick, the man principally to blame for the downfall of ex-Liebour MP Fill Woolyarse is once again attempting to get his grubby paws into the Council Allowances scam. The lying turd is standing in Saddleworth South as a Liebour candidate. This probably says more about the local Liebour party than anything. They have no shame, no morals, no responsibility and certainly no concern for the sensibilities of the electorate of Sadd South. But then again we knew that. Didn't we? You have only to look how swiftly they moved to welcome Fitzpatrick's co-conspirator, the bent bastard, Battye, back into the fold at last years elections, to realise how corrupt and venal the local party is. If it means another seat - then anything goes! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"After the electoral court rightly ruled against Phil Woolas for his underhand tactics during the 2010 general election the spotlight should have surely turned to his right hand man, accomplice and election agent, Joe Fitzpatrick. During the hearing Fitzpatrick defended Woolas' campaign tactics all the way. He showed no hesitation at all and indeed instigated most of that unsavory plot, when Woolas repeatedly railed against Muslims and Asians. Responsibility for the lies, misleading leaflets and outbursts tinged with racist undertones was equally shared between them. Woolas was barred from running for high office for 3 years, suspended from the Labour party and faced a possible criminal investigation. Why therefore, did the same fate not befall Joe Fitzpatrick? We call on the Labour party to do the honourable thing and show Fitzpatrick the door."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Conservative leader
Coun Jack Hulme is retiring from politics and will not be standing for
re-election this May.
The Chadderton North councillor says he took the decision given his age
and was making way for 'new blood'.
Speaking from his Chadderton home he said: "I'm 74 and I have decided
it's time for me to retire.
"I have got to let more younger people to continue taking the party
forward.
"You get to the stage where you have got to make way for new people.
"It will be sad to leave politics behind but we have got a large family
and my wife Eileen and I plan to do a bit more travelling."
Failsworth East councillor Paul Martin will now be defending the
Chadderton North seat. But fellow Tory Ian Barker is also to stand down
this year.
Lib Dem councillor and current mayor Richard Knowles and party
colleagues Mike Buckley and Ann Wingate will not contest seats this time
around.
Coun Knowles stepped down from his civic duties in January after
developing nasal cancer.
The Saddleworth South councillor has been undergoing chemotherapy and
although he will not be returning as councillor is looking forward to
his postponed mayoral ball.
Saddleworth North councillor Mike Buckley said: "I spoke to Richard and
he sounded to be his old self. He is continuing with his treatment and
was very disappointed to have missed a lot of his mayoral functions but
we are all looking forward to seeing him at his ball later in the year."
Chadderton Central councillor John Hudson will be returning to
Saddleworth to defend Coun Knowles's seat.
Coun Buckley, who is also standing down, added: "I have done this for
eight years and I want to concentrate on other things now.
"I will continue in my role with the Saddleworth parish council and I
will certainly still be around.
"I have very much enjoyed the experience on Oldham council and feel I
have been able to raise the profile of heritage issues in the borough. I
like to see that as a small legacy that I have left."
Lib Dem Crompton councillor Ann Wingate will also be leaving the
council.
Ann, who has lived in Shaw and Crompton for 30 years, has a string of
achievements including setting up the Friends of High Crompton Park.
She said: "It was a great privilege to represent Crompton for the past
17 years.
"Being a magistrate, a councillor and also mayor has been an honour and a
memorable experience. However, family ties and support are now starting
to take priority, and I have made the decision that it is time to step
down."
Royton South councillor Dianne Williamson will be defending the Crompton
seat.
All five Labour councillors will be defending their seats in Chadderton
South, Coldhurst, Medlock Vale. Royton North and Werneth.
A by-election is taking place in Saddleworth parish council's Delph ward
following the death of Coun Ken Hulme.<br /><br /> Read more at: <a href="http://menmedia.co.uk/oldhamadvertiser/news/politics/s/1490780_oldham-councils-conservative-leader-jack-hulme-to-step-down">http://menmedia.co.uk/oldhamadvertiser/news/politics/s/1490780_oldham-councils-conservative-leader-jack-hulme-to-step-down</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Conservative leader Coun Jack Hulme is retiring from politics, he was never in politics, was he? He says he took the decision given his age and was making way for 'new blood'. "I'm 74 and I have decided it's time for me to retire." He never considered he was past it for the last ten years then? He rose to obscurity and is returning to the real, allowance- less world. "It will be sad to leave politics behind but we have got a large family and my wife Eileen and I plan to do a bit more travelling to avoid them." </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In a game of musical chairs, Failsworth E. councillor Paul Martin will hawk his barrow in Chadderton North. Chadderton Central coun John Hudson will be returning to Saddleworth to defend Coun Knowles's seat and play with his train set. Royton South councillor Dianne Williamson will be defending the Crompton seat. Unusual to see anyone deserting Royton to go to Crompton. Everything seems to be going t'other way at the moment.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ian Barker Lib/Lab/ Tory/Bnp/UKIP/green party/ independent/monster raving loony - has run out of parties and will stand down this year. As will current mayor Richard Knowles and party colleagues Mike Buckley and Ann Wingate. Knowless the Sadd S. councillor has been undergoing treatment for nasal cancer but is looking forward to his postponed mayoral ball, which will have a 'ghost train' theme. Saddleworth North councillor Mike Buckley said: "I spoke to Richard and he sounded to be his old self, pompous and wrong. Coun Buckley, who is also standing down, added: "I have done this, whatever it is, for eight years and I want to concentrate on other scams now. "I have very much enjoyed the expenses on the Councill and feel I have helped raise the profile of heritage issues in the borough. I like to see that as a small legacy that I have left. But not as big as the one I've trousered." Lib Dem Crompton councillor Ann Wingate will also be leaving the council. Ann, who has lived in Shaw and Crompton for 30 years, man and boy, has a string of achievements including most ridiculous hairdo in Crompton. She said: "Being a magistrate, a councillor and also mayor has been an honour and a memorable experience, I think. However, family ties and other forms of bondage are starting to take priority, and I don't get out a lot nowadays."</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">¹</span><span style="font-size: large;"> From what</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You must have read that Oldham was crowned Most Improved Council at the Local Government Chronicle Awards 2012.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You will all have seen the pictures of Hear No Evil, See No Evil and Just Fucking Evil, collecting the priceless solid glass paperweight wot we won. With Little Jimmy simpering: “This is a fantastic achievement and a proud night."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All well and good we hear you cry, but why do they need to get dressed up like blackjacks to pick up a bit of Pyrex from an awards ceremony at the Mechanic's Institute?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Aaaah! They neglected to tell us that this awards ceremony was not a local affair but was held in Lunnun and not just anywhere in Lunnun. Oh no! In the chandeliered Great Room of the <b style="color: #ffd966;">five-star</b> Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, Mayfair, no less! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<div style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Impressed now aren't you?</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How can we best describe the event? I know we'll let The Daily Telegraph 17/3/2012 sum up the whole glittery affair:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b style="color: red;">'Council leaders spent tens of thousands of pounds of
public money to attend a candle-lit dinner at which they toasted the way
in which they have handled the cuts.' </b></span><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <b style="color: yellow;"> "More than 1200 senior local government officers, many of whom have
overseen redundancies and deep cuts to services, attended the black tie
awards ceremony in the chandeliered Great Room of the five-star
Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, Mayfair, on Wednesday. <br />
Tickets ranged from £1700 to £7200 per table of ten."</b></span><br />
<div style="color: black;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #6fa8dc;"> JOLLY ALERT - - JOLLY ALERT - - JOLLY ALERT - - JOLLY ALERT</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>£1700 to £7200 per table of ten????</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fuck me and I thought we were fucking skint. How many of our tit-sucking, trough dwellers attended this shindig? How much was our table? We say '<b><span style="color: lime;">OUR</span></b>' table because <b><span style="color: lime;">WE FUCKING PAID FOR IT</span></b>, you thieving twats.<b style="color: red;"> </b><b><span style="color: red;">NAME THE FUCKERS SAT ROUND OUR TABLE!!!<span style="color: black;"> </span></span></b></span><br />
<div style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;">'How did we come to be involved in this con-trick?' We hear you ask!</span></div>
<div style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well it's like this folks - The Local Government Chronicle is a magazine (annual subscription £250), ( per copy, that is), published by a firm called EMAP who also run lots of other schemes to get taxpayers money from gullible councils. </span></div>
<div style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Each year they get lots of Councils to vote for other Councils to win awards - basically it's peering up some fuckers arse while another fucker fingers yours. Emap rely on Councils being fucking stupid enough to join in this merry-go-round and to this end publish lots of glossy pics of the greedy twats spending our money. Said greedy twats return to respective Council, see pics and several orgasms later the whole shebang starts over again.</span></div>
<div style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;">QUESTION:</span>- How many copies of LGC, (at £250 a pop), wing their way into the Tower Of Babble each month? Who gets one? OooH! don't tell us! It's them as gets to go to the piss up ain't it?<b> </b><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Anyhow what of the night itself?</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The awards, run by the LGC, for the LGC, were hosted by Jon
Culshaw, the radio impressionist. He is understood to charge around
£10,000 per appearance. (If he's doing impressions on t'radio how do we know it's him? It could actually be the people we think he's impersonating!) The things you'll do for a measly ten grand!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> After a networking reception, (what the fuck is one of them when it's at home?) they dined
on a salad of Serrano ham, asparagus, semi-dried tomato, wild rocket and
parmesan. It was followed by tournedos of beef in a smoked garlic and
red wine sauce with pancetta, celeriac, chestnut mushrooms, French beans
and Anna potato. The desert was vanilla cream with raspberries and
brandy snaps. Red and white wine was served. Hope for Shoa Boata's sake the food was Halal. Would have been a pity to waste all that good food. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The most expensive tickets entitled guests to bottles of champagne, followed by port and a cheese board. You can bet our boys were into that!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Afterwards
delegates danced to Beyonce’s ‘Crazy in Love’, That would have been worth seeing, Little Jimmy and the boys shakin' their booty! They then played roulette
until 2am at a charity casino set up on the balcony. The prize was a
magnum of champagne. Whoop-deWhoop how much did that cost us then? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Carolyn Downs, the chief executive of the
Local Government Association, wrote to delegates, with no sense of irony whatsoever: "This year's LGC
Awards takes place against the backdrop of one of the most challenging
periods for local government in a generation. Money for jollies is becoming tighter and Councils are
having to take incredibly tough decisions on a daily basis but it is
right that we recognise the fantastic work that is going on up and down
the country in buying thousands of copies of our magazines and coughing up for arse peering do's like this one." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span style="color: yellow;">So how is it organised then?</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, in January those Councils who are not due to win an award this year are appointed judges. These judges then visit the boroughs who are going to win this year to see how the organisation is
continuing to improve it's money raising scams and how they are
adopting new ways of fucking over the Council Taxpayers. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s humbling to be recognised as the ‘Most Improved Council’ by our
peers." Smarmed Little Jimmy. The only peers we have are up each others ring-piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“This award is down to the hard work of council staff, and our partners,
who are all doing their bit to make positive improvements, and I’d like
to thank them all." That will be the likes of Mouchel then will it Little Jim? The company that's in a worse state than we are - who can;t even run their own business successfully but we continue to hurl taxpayers money at them willy-nilly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Oldham’s move to become a co-operative council has seen the borough
leading nationally on the adoption of a new ethical framework and a
community dividend scheme." Anybody understand any of that tripe?. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">An extra £2million has also been transferred downwards to devolve
services to districts, strengthening local democracy and new forms of
service delivery. Transferred 'downwards' from where? It's nothing more than blatant vote buying. We are supposedly skint, cutting services and jobs and yet we have £2Million floating about that can be wasted setting up 'District Town Halls' to provide non-jobs for all the Lie-bour cronies. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So what got us this 'award then?</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">::A Commendation from the Audit Commission for the speed and accuracy of Final Accounts as the fastest in the country. So they should be. We have fuck all left after giving it all away to Unity Partnerships and PFI's so it doesn't take long to count whats left and write 'Nowt' at the bottom of the balance sheet. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">::Crowned ‘Best City’ at North-West in Bloom. 'CITY' What city? You've only got to grow a couple of daffodils to win the NW in Bloom equivalent of the Nobel Prize. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">::Halving the number of families living in temporary accommodation. Half of very little is not a lot. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">::Achieved an 11th consecutive year-on-year improvement in the proportion of pupils gaining five A*-C GCSEs.These 'exams' have now become so easy a beer mat could pass with honours. Councillors who tried some of the tests for themselves however failed miserably coming next to last just ahead of a small prickly cactus like 'thing.'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">::Provided self-directed support packages to 54 per cent of adult social care users — 24 per cent above the national target.Provided self addressed pre-stamped envelopes for the P45's of the rest.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">::More than doubled the number of drug users in effective treatment. Doubling the number of drug users is not something you would normally win an award for, is it?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">::Delivered 20 per cent more new homes than last year. 20 per cent more than what? Let's see... we built five last year so that makes an extra er, erm uh, - anyone got a beermat? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">::Retained Green Flag status for all seven award-winning parks. If you've got a park - you'll get an award. Good job it don't include things like Council football pitches, Churchill playing fields. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Children’s Services has gone from a “zero star” for safeguarding in 2003
to the highest-possible Ofsted ranking of “performing excellently”. Ofsted has been criticised as 'not fit for purpose' by a House of Commons Select Committee who also highlighted their concern about "the complex set of
objectives and sectors that Ofsted now spans and its capacity to fulfil
its core mission."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-30"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofsted#cite_note-30"><span></span></a></sup></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Other 'Achievements' include an increase of 20 per cent since 2009 on the number
of secondary schools judged “good or better” for behaviour. An increase from what? A 45 per
cent reduction in the numbers of pupils permanently excluded. A reduction from what? and falls
in the number of pupils with persistent school absence. A fall in the number of truants?? Nearly 2,000 children across Oldham persistently skip school - Oldham Evening Chronicle 30 March 2012</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If those are the best 'improvements' in the country - then there must be some really crap Councils.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">Who spent what in this age of austerity?</span><br /><span style="color: yellow;"></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">East Lothian Council was nominated for the "most improved council" award. Six staff, including Provost Sheena Richardson travelled to the awards by train and stayed overnight at the Grosvenor, . The trip cost £3,605.30. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Sheffield council sent six staff, who also stayed overnight in London hotels. The bill came to £2,825. It cut 870 jobs last year and must cut 690 more to balance the books. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Warrington Council, also nominated for most improved council after receiving three red flags from the Audit Commission for <span style="color: lime;">financial mismanagement</span>, spent £1,700 on tickets and £1,550 on hotel rooms. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Southend-on-Sea, which won Council of the Year, spent £1915 with the rest of the £6030 bill picked up by sponsorship from council suppliers. Does that smell right to you folks? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">John Glen MP said: "Members of the public would rather welcome these monies being spent on our most vulnerable, particualrly those who are struggling to find employment in these difficult times. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"It's breathtaking that those who attended can't see the folly of such lavish, self-aggrandising events in our current climate."Fuck me! It's coming to something when even an MP can smell the rot!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Some councils, including South Oxfordshire, Surrey and Croydon, went as the guests of their private sector contractors and did not bill the taxpayer. More graft and corruption!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the Taxpayers’ Alliance said: “It's quite extraordinary that cash strapped councils who have pleaded poverty at home have found enough money to send senior staff to a glitzy awards bash at one of the priciest and fanciest hotels in London.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A spokesman for the Local Government Association said: “These awards recognise and celebrate the hard work and dedication of those individuals who continue to deliver vital services to communities at a time when budgets are severely stretched. What the fuck are we celebrating then? We've nobody could deliver a newspaper never mind services. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The spokesprick continued, “Most councils invite their front line and lower paid staff to attend the event, whilst some invite residents to thank them for their contribution to improving local services." Lower paid staff? Residents? From Oldham? You are having a fucking laff. Them tossers can form a queue behind our beloved Councillors, Chief Execs, Senior Officers and other sundry hangers on and spongers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A number of councils, including Durham,<flash> </flash></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: yellow;">Oldham</b> and Scarborough, did not respond to requests for costs incurred or comment. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: blue;">So we ask again</span></b> -<span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"> <span style="color: yellow;">How many tickets did we buy for the great and the good from</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"> <span style="color: yellow;">OMBC to attend this smarm-fest? How much did that cost the tax-payer?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: orange;"> How did they get to Lunnun? Train, plane, the tax-payers leased £80K </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange;"> Audi? </span></span><br />
<div style="color: orange;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> How much did that cost the tax-payers?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: lime;">Where did they stay the night? B&B, YMCA, Underrneath the arches, </span></span><br />
<div style="color: lime;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Grosvenor Hotel? How much did that cost the tax-payers?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">How much did we spend on the rental of blackjack suits? Probably only </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Video game retailer 'Game" has gone bust! Every local outlet of this large chain is to close. Yet more brown paper windows in Spindles! Yet more people on the dole! 276 stores to close immediately 2,104 more unemployed. This will leave 333 stores still open and employing 2814 workers. Wanna bet how long they will last?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet another nail in the Spindles coffin. Or perhaps an opportunity for some astute entrepreneur to step in and open a brand new, much needed, Jewellery Store/ Pawnbrokers / Pound Cosmos.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It won't take much to topple the whole house of cards, especially if another important cornerstone, such as Debenhams were to pull out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do the elected cock-polishers in the Tower of Babble care? It appears not. They are obsessed with massaging their egos and pay checks with grandiose pie-in-the-sky plans for the outlying districts (only the Lie-bour held ones of course). Have you noticed the abandonment of the much vaunted 'belt- tightening' budgets with painful cuts and huge savings? Remember last year's talk of 'over 400 redundancies in the new year?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Any of it come to pass yet? Nope! Do you think it will? With elections coming up!!! Not a fucking chance! What do we get almost every day? New initiatives - proposed new deals with developers - <strike>consultations</strike> nonsultations with locals to see what they would like, as opposed to what they are going to get, which is nowt. We are following the PFI path to destruction well worn by that criminal fucktard, the one-eyed snot gobbler, Gordon 'where has he disappeared to' Brown. Evey PFI 'initiative' ends up as a millstone around our necks as we struggle for years to pay some outside rip-off artists for providing services we should be capable of providing a lot cheaper. PFI's exist because we have no money to provide these services, so we in effect borrow cash from these 'saviours' at usurious rates of interest. The providers get rich and we sink further into the shite!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since the start of the year, Little Jimmy Pudden-Face's band of creeps, misfits and downright barm-pots have done nothing but promise us everything we desire. We're gonna 'spend, spend, spend,' they tell us. No they're not, not, not. They have no cash, cash, cash! After the election you will discover the value of Lie-bour promises!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Never mind! We've got the arrival of Metro-Shite to look forward to. I think - 'Appen -Haven't we?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We've had a reet good idea about that. Seeing as how the 'Richard Knowless Memorial Line,' to Mumps is virtually complete, why don't we say fuck-it to the branch line along Union Street through 'Chicken City?' We could throw up a bridge at Mumps and run <b>trains</b> all the way from Manchester to Rochdale. Mind you, we'd have to scrat about a bit to get back all the bits of Mumps station sold off by the muppets in the great clearance <strike>swindle</strike> sale. We could stick the lines back down the Werneth Tunnels, thus freeing up a valuable green-field site on the Manchester Street roundabout. We could possibly erect a 'bijou' sports centre there with a 5Metre Olympic Style' pool and a table tennis table. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">PS Ruffyed says it would have been easier and cheaper to have concreted over the original track, bought several hundred Sinclair C5's, (ask yer grand-dad), and let everybody do their own thing!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As for recharging them - they could have used Little Jimmy's EV emporium and charging station at Hollinwood.........but that's another story!</span><br />

<br />
<div style="color: yellow;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Have you seen all the crap about this town's contributions to the 'Londonistan' Olympics??</span></b></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Apparently we have something called the "Olympic Legacy Project,' which has been hailed as “trailblazing” by the London Games organising committee, who of course have been nowhere near the desolate dump.. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This unelected band of chair polishers and non-entities, call themselves, 'The One Future Group.' There is nothing like a catchy name to inspire folks - and this IS nothing like a catchy name. They claim to be about to improve the lives of Oldhamers by
securing sporting, social and economic benefit across the borough. This is the same borough that has just announced the closure of four sports venues to be replaced by two venues, half the size.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We are told that - " the current contract of Oldham Community Leisure (OCL), which runs the
borough’s sports and leisure facilities on behalf of the council, expires in one years time. This will prompt a shrinking leisure stock to
accommodate the future operating contract" — can anyone explain this <i>non sequitur</i> ? Does this mean that the tossers at OCL are to be allowed to fuck over all our sports facilities for the remaining three and a half years 'til the town finally closes for good? What will the future operating contract cover? When were OCL awarded it? Did it go out to tender? What will it cover, the one remaining seven metre 'Olympic Style' pool, a wall you can kick a ball against and of course the All Weather Synchronised Swimming <strike>Hole</strike> Centre and water polo field at <strike>Churchill Fields</strike> The Ken Hulme Memorial Lido!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTkIpqAq62__0kp9megy0ra0-lUXJnfeemKozf3qgLScPvFry8MhR06dorvs-AARSI8o1XFHXAlDULFjUZ0mVX3iovV700ifeli4kEHrYO9Zbt4-82HCMG2rXTauQGdD5FbgkX7mbukE/s1600/bow-and-arrow-t12930.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTkIpqAq62__0kp9megy0ra0-lUXJnfeemKozf3qgLScPvFry8MhR06dorvs-AARSI8o1XFHXAlDULFjUZ0mVX3iovV700ifeli4kEHrYO9Zbt4-82HCMG2rXTauQGdD5FbgkX7mbukE/s320/bow-and-arrow-t12930.jpg" width="205" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> We are told that the
total value of Oldham’s Olympic contracts is £3.6 million. What contracts are these? Would someone like to enlighten us as to what we have contracted for? What benefits can we expect to receive? If there were net profits of 20% on the total this would amount to about £3.47½p each. What would you spend yours on Folks? It wouldn't even buy a cinema ticket, if we had a fucking cinema, that is! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Oldham has already hosted a leg of the Halfords Tour Series cycling
races in June last year, which was watched by 300,000 people on TV and
boosted the local economy by £250,000. Aaah, that's part of the legacy is it? How many legatees in Oldham dusted off their Claude Butlers and oiled their Choppers to join that jamboree?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now! The news you have all been waiting for! Prepare yourselves for this!!<b style="color: lime;"> Handball</b> has been adopted as a
legacy sport in schools and community groups across Oldham. Well..Whoop..de...fucking whoop!! Not one of the traditional Oldham sports, Footy, Rugby, Cricket, Athletics maybe! Oh no! Fecking Hand fecking Ball! A game <strike>game, do me a fucking favour</strike> played indoors by nerdy little pricks while they twitter like twats on their Twatfones. You can probably play it in MacDonalds while waiting for the acne ridden pillock to reheat your mystery-burger. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It gets better - The scheme has already attracted support from high-profile local names,
including Manchester United’s Paul Scholes, presenter John Stapleton and
“Coronation Street” actress Shobna Gulati. Well at least Scholes has run about a bit, as for the other two - a yapper and a slapper! Trust Oldham to produce role models about as far removed from the role as it is possible to get.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Group vice chairman John Townsend, (who he?), said: “The project has been going for
12 months and it’s good to reflect on our achievements to date and count our allowances. . I’m sure
that London 2012 fever will gather pace when the torch travels through
Oldham on Sunday, June 24.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It would be more of an achievement if a stray spark from the torch set the Civic Centre afire and the blaze spread to all the worthless schemes dreamt up by the tossers inside. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Read the timetables, the agendas, the programmes - there is nowt coming to the town. It's another smoke and mirrors job by you know who, to divert our attention from the dire circumstances we find ourselves in. It's a pity we won't have the Metrostink running. We could all haul ass down to Manchester - at least they have some genuine Olympic events planned. </span><br />

Coun 'Diddy Dave' Hibbert to raise questions over their intentions to be yet more take-aways to enhance 'shutter town.'</span></div>
<div id="news-article">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Why now??? Why is the tiny fucking evil elf suddenly rearing up on his little legs and ranting about this??? We've been complaining about the number of <strike>money laundering</strike> filthy food outlets permitted in the town by him and his bent cronies for the past fifteen years at least. Has he, Have they, listened?? Have they fuck!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What's changed is Metro-Shite The living dead in the Council Chamber can't wait to get their sticky little mitts on the money from the great white elephant. If all we have are take-aways, pound stores and pawnbrokers, who the fuck is going to want to visit the land of the fallen shutter? IF...fucking IF?? When, is the relevant question and the answer is - very fucking shortly!!! No visitors = no money!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The vertically challenged noisy little twat, said: <span style="color: yellow;">“I hope these applications aren’t just euphemisms for yet more take aways." </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Euphemisms??? Euphemisms??? The fucking planning applications tell you what is intended - fucking take-aways! You're on the fucking Council for fuck's sake do you not read or understand planning applications in the the fucking Chamber of Horrors??? Oh...sorry! Stupid question!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Tiny-Tot continues, <span style="color: yellow;">“There is nothing wrong with take aways, but too many of them are clustered and are shut all-day long."</span> And who allowed them to be clustered then tiny? Who wouldn't refuse a planning application because of the extra <strike>moolah</strike> rates it brought in??? YOU, YOU LITTLE SHORT STROKE!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The fucking goblin said, <span style="color: yellow;">“We want people to be going into proper restaurants and cafes during the day. We want a bustling town centre, not a shanty town between two rush hours.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">People going into 'proper restaurants and cafes'?? What fucking people?? Which people in this town have the means to be popping in and out of 'proper restaurants' each and every day?? What fucking idiot would open a 'proper restaurant' in Oldham?? Perhaps he means all those people who will be arriving <strike>when</strike> if the Metro-shite ever labours up the hill from Manchester, ready to be immersed in the Oldham shopping experience. Ready to snap up the BOGOF bargains at Pound Universe, pawn the family silver or simply to stare in wonder at the brown paper window displays.</span><br />
<div style="color: yellow;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;">"We want a bustling town centre"???</span> Well why the fuck have you let it get into the state it's in now??</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Why did you sit idly by for years while the parts of the town that you hadn't killed off with your ideological shit-brained schemes, died a slow death?? Why did you rip the heart out of this once prosperous town??? </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You say you don't want a shanty town. Well that is exactly what we have become on our way to becoming a ghost town. As for rush hours, the only rushing in this town is to get out of the place, waving goodbye as we do so, to the myriad take-away 'operatives' stood peering out through the windows of empty botulism factories all night long.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>How much more humiliation are we going to have heaped upon us????</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b>First we have national coverage of the shite strewn about the streets of Clarksfield by the<strike> indigent</strike> indolent inhabitants. So! what does our local 'Council Of All The Arseholes' say about the matter? 'We cannot expect our streets to be kept clean as they have no money for the task and people should keep their own streets clean.'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOW!</b> Fucking <b>NOW!!</b>! We have a visit from a bunch of God bothering tambourine bashing</span><span style="font-size: large;"> missionaries from a Trafford based 'World Mission Society Church.' Eighty of the buggers turned up and proceeded to clear up all the shite strewn on the streets of Clarksfield by you know who.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So how has it come to this? Well, we all know why the useless twats on the Council turn a blind eye to the practices. There's no votes in antagonising your potential voters and as a fifth of the Council is made up of the buggers we are pissing against the wind trying to improve matters. So for the rest of us, it's carry on suffering. It's time we stopped kowtowing to the immigrant influx to whom shite is a way of life. This is not Bangladesh so don't bring your filthy habits here. If you don't like it - you know where the airport is!</span></div>

<h1 style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are not impressed when OUR wheelie bins are stolen to replace ones you destroyed in all sorts of nefarious acts. Nor do we appreciate OUR wheelie bins being used by you filthies to dispose of your excess stinking shite when you have filled yours.</span></h1>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Labour councillors claim the tough financial position the council
finds itself in does not allow the luxury of employing staff to clear up
after residents — who should keep their own streets clean. </span></h1>
<div id="news-article">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Coun Lynne Topspin reported
Kelverlow, Goss Hall and Ronald and Eric streets as major hotspots. <br />The missionary force took matters into their own hands and
headed to those streets. Around 50 bin bags were packed full of rubbish in three hours. Did you read that?? 50 Bin bags filled with shite off the streets of Clarksfield in 3 hours!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Delighted residents praised the volunteers on the good deed and invited
them to “come round more often.” </span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I BET THEY FUCKING DID!!! Now the indolent fuckers know they only have to chuck their crap in the street and a bunch of missionaries will turn up and shift their shite for them..<br /><br />
The clean-up comes at a time when complaints have been made about cuts to Oldham Council’s street-cleaning teams. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Council leader Little Jimmy Pudden-Face, blasted residents for not taking responsibility. He said: “Some constituents expect us to start picking up after them.
They think we should start with areas where residents don’t look after
their own streets." NO we don't Little Jimmy, you should start somewhere you are really needed, say the Elysian fields of Saddleworth, you gormless twat!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A GORMLESS TWAT!!</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Coun Jean Stretchmark said there had been a slight increase in litter
in certain hotspots of the borough. Slight - FUCKING SLIGHT???? Those certain hotspots tend to be those with dense
residential properties for obvious reasons. One of the reasons being half the Indian sub-continent living there. This as opposed to the Council Chamber which is packed with dense Know-nowts only concerned with preserving their voter base. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Why is it that despite collecting higher and higher levels of Council Tax we never have any cash to spare for what at one time were essential services? More and more services are being hived off to private <strike>parasites </strike> companies to run as we don't seem able to produce staff to do what was once achieved by a minute fraction of the desk polishers we have now. Local government pension payments cream off a goodly portion of our hard earned and we all know that the upper tiers of bloated council officers is costing us dearly. It's time all these time-servers from Charlie 'what a good buy he was' Chuckles downward through the myriad levels of management were pared down to the bone. Then, maybe, we would have enough money to pay for services that we once took for granted, but are now classed as luxuries, to be re-instated </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Bugger Me!!! Cried the Wulfe as he espied the headlines in the local Lie-bour Party Chronicle. - 'Elton John, Rod Stewart & Noel Gallagher to star at Boundary Park.'</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Rod will obviously become skipper of the team leading us to glory as he opens his legs and dazzles us with his ball skills. Noel will bring an oasis of calm and gentility to the midfield unless Liam signs for someone like ....er Accrington Stanley say - and war breaks out over who has the better left foot. As for Elton, dear old Elton! He would be a rock in defense, taking the youngsters in hand and plugging any openings at the back.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Crowds would flock back - Latics would have enough money to sign almost anyone they wanted on loan. With their new-found show business connections they could consider putting on pop-concerts at the Broadway Bowl. Any of those three could surely fix us up with a few 'turns'. they could even put on a show themselves, what about it? Three tenners that should cover it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">OCL say the partnership would lead to cheaper prices and increased facilities across the two towns. The one problem with this is that all the sports facilities are in Rochdale, with new ones about to open this year. Sports facilities in Oldham, having been neglected for years, are being closed indiscriminately to satisfy the cronyism rife among our dear councillors. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> On Saturday 'Link4Life' will be hosting a jobs fair in Rochdale to recruit staff for the planned NEW Rochdale Leisure Centre' opening later this year. They are recruiting duty officers, lifeguards, leisure attendants,swimming teachers, fitness instructors and assistants and receptionists. Fuck me! Get in there quick if you're qualified. If you are waiting for similar posts to become available in Oldham. Hah!

<span style="font-size: large;">Since 2007, Link4Life has been responsible for delivering a £34million investment programme for Rochdale sports and leisure. This programme includes Heywood Sports Village and Middleton Arena. Opening in June this year is Rochdale Leisure Centre. Costing £10.8 million, the centre will comprise swimming pools, a sports hall, fitness and dance studios and a thermal suite. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What have we to crow about in Oldham? Well, nearly all the goalposts on council football pitches received a super new coat of emulsion and changing facilities were given a good coat of looking at. It looks like we <strike>are</strike> may be getting a new swimming pool, (in Royton), but three others are closing to pay for it. Mind you, we still have the open air swimming pool at Churchill Playing Fields. We have sports pitches, receiving the barest minimum upkeep, with the most primitive, if any, changing facilities. Our two professional sports clubs play in slums. What a great advert for the town. ORLFC,(The Roughyeds), gave up their ground at Watersheddings, (where it used be good, to see 'em feight for t'ball in t'mud), on the promise of being rehomed. Instead Battye et al, simply stole it. Where are they now?? A fucking allotment in Limeside!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Where has this £45million come from? Where is our £45million? How come Rochdale have this go -ahead organisation Link4Life running their sports and leisure facilities while we have the moribund tossers OCL running ours, (into the ground that is!). Trust the clueless fuckers on Oldham Council to back the wrong horse. Nearly every fucking service that this council should be providing and running has been handed over to parasitic fucking failures. Fuck knows how much extra all this abrogation of responsibility and authority is costing US!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The inauguration of <b><span style="color: yellow;">S</span></b>eville’s bike-sharing scheme in April 2007 was something of a godsend, even for avowed car users. It was the second bike-sharing initiative in Spain--and it is the fifth largest scheme of its kind in Europe, with 2,500 bikes on offer. Grab a two-wheeled machine from any of the 250 docking stations and you will quickly discover that cycling suits this flat, balmy metropolis. Unlike <b><span style="color: lime;">O</span></b>ldham the barmy metropolis, full of hills and potholes. Cyclists have been known to vanish without trace in some of these potholes which are more like caves really. A trial bike -sharing scheme was tried a short while ago in the town but failed due to renters not returning bikes to the allotted docking stations. Most were found parked in e-bay, Cash Converters and 'arry's scrap yard!</span><br />

The introduction of revolutionary new battery-powered technology meant that ugly overhead cables have been dismantled. Now the plan is to extend the tramline as far as Santa Justa, Seville’s main railway station, where new high-speed trains head off to Madrid, Cádiz and (by 2013) Granada.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: lime;">O</b>ldham's ongoing saga of the tramlines continues. At present all those involved are trying to bring the line to Mumps where a perfectly good station was demolished to allow a station to be built. In two thousand and plenty they are going to dig it all up again to drag it along Union Street. A new station will have to be built at Mumps cos the line is pissing off in a different direction. Are you following all this? If we were getting battery powered trams they could be recharged at Little Jimmy Pudden-Face's proposed electric vehicle charging station at Hollinwood. Just think of the leisure time we would have waiting for a charge. You couldn't rely on buying replacement batteries. The shops are always closed just when you need one. So what we are getting? Ugly overhead cables! Our pride and joy will take us to Victoria, one of Manchester's railway backwaters, where slow speed trains head off to Wigan, Blackburn and Darwen, and by 2025 one will have reached Leeds via Rochdale. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;">I</b>n <span style="color: yellow;">S</span>eville there is a tram stop right outside the majestic Gothic cathedral. The tram also connects with the bus station and the new subterranean Metro<b style="color: lime;">. <span style="color: #f3f3f3;"> I</span></b>n <b><span style="color: lime;">O</span></b>ldham there will be a tram stop right outside the nissen-hut like Sainsbury's. Our tram, unfortunately, will not connect with any of Oldham's fifteen assorted bus stations as they are all on Cheapside, up a five hundred foot sheer cliff face. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A lot of the trams will stop outside Failsworth, Hollinwood or any other of the myriad stops en route. This is not planned, it is called a breakdown. When this occurs the whole town will come to a standstill. Outsiders will notice no difference.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #f3f3f3;">I</b>n <b><span style="color: yellow;">S</span></b>eville you could consider hiring an electric car to get around. Renault chose Seville as the city to launch its three new zero-emission models in October 2011, and ultimately these vehicles and others will be able to make use of <b style="color: #9fc5e8;">75</b> battery-recharging points that are being built around the city as part of a government-sponsored plan to boost electric car use.In <b style="color: lime;">O</b>ldham you could lash out thousands on an overpriced 'lectric car and run down to Hollinwood if you need a boost. (That's when and if any of this pie-in-the-sky ever becomes reality.</span><br />

Professing to be an architectural icon in a liveable city core, this giant structure, purported to be the largest wood structure in the world, is best described as a forest of mushrooms welded onto a flying waffle . <b style="color: lime;">O</b>ldham has taken a slightly different approach and built, where we used to have interesting buildings, many daring, ultra-modern car parks, harbouring pay-and-display ticket machines, traffic wardens and panoramic views of the Tower of Babble. These have been constructed by the biggest wooden structure in Oldham, namely our local Councillors, who are known to be as intelligent as mushrooms and full of waffle.</span><br />
