Bye By Farage...

I can only find the Facebook video now. It was linked from a Stamford group I'm in.

Dave!

A very quick google (so may be wrong, so happy to be corrected) shows that guy was removed from his post for finding it too much to handle.

Then in Dec 2025 Leicester are apparently facing a £23m financial gap

sounds more like the disaster - the suit was just a hint that it might be a used car dealer scam on the horizon!

Not a great look if you are over-stressed after just 3 months in the job!!

They should lead with that, not personal attacks.

I just did a stupid thing and wondered what the average debt per council was and see the uk is over 125 billion in debt through the councils.

Considering they can't even fix a hole in the ground, that's quite depressing.

Can more people reply to the good local councillors thread please

Dave!

Yeah, it’s almost like pulling any idiot you can convince to stand into the party to bolster numbers was a bad idea.

They didn’t know that yet, they just suspected it because a child in a bad fitting suit was telling them to believe them that they’d solved all the problems (though clearly not - back in the real world).

If a 22 year old in ill fitting PPE turned up on your job site and told you that you were all doing it wrong and he had a new way that was far better, your response would be to believe him, change direction and not even question any aspect of him or his appearance?

It doesn’t matter that he looks like a child and can’t even buy the right size PPE, you should never judge a book by its cover. You should (against your better judgment) simply believe he is right then review it once finished, but never, ever refer to his struggle to even dress himself correctly.

No, we listen to what he has to say as we get a lot of very awkward nerdy people doing gas combustion. We may have to hold the spanner's but they know what they're talking about.

I'd get to know them before taking the piss out of the overly clean PPE and lunchbox

We should hate positively like Steve Hughes says.

Dave!

and if that kid is the one holding the spanners whilst telling you that you’ve been doing it wrong? Because that is the case here - he declared in May 25 that the people before them had been doing it all wrong and they’d found £26m saving. Obviously by Dec 25 that had turned into a £23m overspend….

This isn’t some new highly educated engineer with a new technique, this is a kid in his dads suit predictably fucking up the figures.
