coughed up some electrons that declared:

It's not just town and city centres. Our local councillors are
trumpeting about their reaction to a suggestion that a tree in the
area be lit up at night. They think they've triumphed by providing
different coloured lights on the tree according to the season. The
formal switching on was the other night.

We've just completed a questionnaire put out by the council about
saving power and telling us to save money by turning down the heating
by one degree. We can't, it won't go any lower than 10C.

How do you live at 10C? I can see 15C with a wooly jumper, but 10C is pretty
chilly.

Yet they've
spent our money on the installation of these lights as well as the
running costs.

You can tell that I'm not pleased ...

It's the job of councils to do dipweed inconsistent things. Read more
Dilbert - it will help you to mentally adjust!

I wish they'd just build some bl**dy nukes so we can get back to worrying
about world hunger and terrorism instead of debating reducing global
warming by 90% of 8% of 1ppm or whatever... Cynical - moi?

They want for us to worry about as much as possible: terrorism,
climate change, war etc. It's distracts the "public" from many of
their mistakes.
