This Is Where Your Cash Goes

TheEye is delighted to note the birthday of David Vance today. A Tangled Web as usual has a post on his site which couldn’t be improved by redrafting so it will be reproduced as it stands:

Interesting to read that an English council is planning to spend up to £500,000 building a noise barrier beside a dual carriageway after a group of travellers aka gypsies complained about the sound of passing vehicles and abuse from motorists. Around 50 people who have moved onto the camp beside the A14 near Milton in Cambridgeshire say their lives are being made a misery by the constant rumble of traffic. Oh no – the poor things. Shall we have whip round for them – maybe buy them some nice BOSE noise reducing headphones? The Council who plan this lunatic abuse of rate-payers money is run by CONSERVATIVES. So there you have it folks, the politicians – right and left – are a homogenous mess who just enjoy wasting your cash.

TheEye despairs, but tips the non-corporeal hat to David. Happy birthday.
