Most people don't realise quite how bad it is.

I hardly ever see police here. Last year I drove from S on A to the borders of Scotland and only saw one police car during the whole journey.And that was in Scotland...
The village police station closed a couple of years ago, and is now houses.

Council tax is getting silly now. It was silly before, now its getting 'lulwut?' silly.

It’s because it’s a discretionary service and costs them money to collect so have shifted it to a paid service now, we’ve introduced it here from April onwards at £40 per bin per year !

Yes, and they can have their ******* green bin back. I'd rather concrete over the garden.
