What a cold and callous bunch that city council has to be. Is it led by the Ice Queen herself?

Councils should realise that they are elected to serve the people.....not to make our lives difficult.

Some of them act like petty tyrants...

It would be ironic if something happened to the council members and they all ended up buried together in a common grave. Or buried alive for that manner. Oh, and their family all getting a bill for being buried in such an inhumane fashion. What can I say?
