Yes, this is the thing Manny fails to understand. While local government behaves a certain way, often it is dictated by policy from the government in Westminster, such that if they didn’t behave that way they wouldn’t get the meager funding they do have.

I’m sure Bristol council are corrupt, but not much more so than others. Meanwhile, the biggest corruption comes from Westminster.

But hey, Bristol aren’t Tory, so Manny will criticise them first.

Sack the fucking lot of them, I say.
