For the blind on here, why don't you ask yourself how much you pay in taxes, just in road fuel, road tax etc, then question why we shouldn't have the best roads in the world, and where is all the money going, apart from paying the banks large bonuses year on year for fucking the economy up amongst other things.
I get this shit all the time "oh you're not a taxpayer"(as I don't work) would fucking love to know where I can fill up and spend money that is tax exempt.
I say claim, if it makes the arsehole councils actually give a shit and do what they should be doing with the money your taxes give them then it's for the better.
Last year my council spent over £1,000,000 on compo for thier failings just from trips falls and other stuff, yet admit that is because there were £640,000 in repairs outstanding.
So they can't find the money for repairs but can for compo, even though repair is cheaper.
