    That's the problem with pinkos they're always too willing and eager to spend other peoples money. Love the bit about Croydon council asking for votes on three levels of council tax and being surprised that the most popular was the cheapest- what a bunch of muppets.

    Perhaps Lambeth council need an audit. They seem very inefficient.

    I am old enough to remember the days when Lambeth was a nuclear free zone. There were signs everywhere.

    That'll stop those Russian ICBMs. I think the US are considering it as a replacement for the Star Wars program.

    Good idea, it obiously worked for Lambeth, to my knowledge they have never suffered nuclear attack.

    If a nuclear bomb was dropped on Brixton it could do hundreds of pounds worth of damage.

    Whilst I agree the posters are political at least they are factual and to the point.

    We need to spend less as a nation - that much is obvious to the majority. Greater acceptance of the sh*t sandwhich we all have to eat (Inc higher earners paying more more tax and NI from April lets not forget) wouldn't go amiss.

    Why do they need to cut frontline services? Why can't they cut back office admin and salaries?
