    Until more and more councils were named and shamed in public if someone gardened the local roundabout or random patch of land, or organised litter picking they were taken apart like this guy. Now councils realise encouraging residents to do things like this saves them money.

    The council is fecking thick. If the guy paints over it they save money from their budget. They should have thanked him in public, given him some certificate and if he used the wrong paint given him a hint so next time he used the right one.

    Should he not be concentrating his sanctimonious comments about 'He cannot do what he wants with other people’s property' towards the people who put the obscene graffiti there in the first place?

    No - he is just going for the easy option.

    Councils really are staffed, almost exclusively, by absolute pricks. It's like the slag heap of useless middle management - where they can wallow in self indulgent bureaucracy while bringing absolutely no good to the world.

    Seriously - has anyone actually had an experience with the management level of a local council and not come away wanting to set things on fire? Absolute bellends.

    Indeed. And it kind of sums up the UK. When I am PM, I will give him a medal. And Tony Martin will be my anti burglary minister.

    However, Coun Jim Bacon said: “We cannot apologise to him. He cannot do what he wants with other people’s property. It’s a two-way conversation and it was not the first time either.”

    Put to the vote, councillors agreed to rescind the bill but voted against issuing an apology.
