The Local election results were a great success for the Last Laugh Looney Party. Their “PotHole Policy” proved a vote winner. They were elected in 100% of the seats in every Local Authority. Unfortunately in most places only one third of the seats were up for election, so the LLLP only gained overall control in a few councils.

So what happened next?

Where they had overall control the LLLP immediately initiated their “PotHole Policy”. A few staff didn’t turn up for work and were in a whole lot of trouble and were dismissed. The rest didn’t find the work too hard and were amazed and delighted when people came out and clapped them. They were back in the office in a week and ready for the next fun task. More later…..

Most of the Councils still had a majority of councillors from the traditional political parties, with no fresh ideas. Nonetheless they were shaken by the dramatic success of the LLLP in the election. So they carried on in their old ways. Meantime the LLLP councillors kept banging on about potholes at every opportunity by raising points of order at each council meeting. The general public kept ringing the council and reporting more potholes.

Where the Conservatives were in control, they were worried about the LLLP’s success and decided to steal their idea and adopt a new “ Build better roads” publicity campaign. They are strong on P.R. but they are not so good at following up with action. Sadly they didn’t fill in many holes, but they blamed that on budget constraints. I wouldn’t fancy their chances at the next election. They are going to regret every one of those unfulfilled potholes🤡

Labour lead Councils thought the LLLP craze would soon fade away, so they didn’t bother with the potholes. They were also concerned about the trade union objections to office staff having to do manual work. They also felt that if more staff could work from home they cold avoid the potholes. There are now 15,000 holes in Labour lead Blackburn and their telephone lines are permanently jammed 🤡. They definitely need a more holistic approach !

Quite a few Labour councillors are defecting to the Last Laugh Looney Party after seeing the local election results. Now they are saying that they always wanted to filll in more potholes, it was Mr Stammer that held them back. Mr Stammer was intending to look into potholes, ever since his friend Jeremiah Corbit told him about his hobby of photographing manhole covers. Now Mr Stammer has appointed a Royal Commission to examine who is making all the potholes. Is it anything to do with climate change? Or could it be fracking? The Royal Commission will report back in 2035.
