Our roads are littered with potholes nobody fills. Your privately funded tyres and suspension are the collateral.
You are forced under threat of criminal prosecution to fund the BBC, and it’s so bad you pay for streaming to get news or entertainment anyway.
Your bins are collected fortnightly, so you drive to the tip. The tip now requires a booking, a permit and proof you live in the county.
Garden waste is a separate annual subscription. On top of the council tax that used to cover it.

Your GP surgery is an 8am phone lottery, so you pay £40 to an app to speak to a doctor in a different time zone. CAMHS has a two year waiting list, so parents remortgage for private assessments. Your child’s SEN provision is a legal entitlement, so you hire a solicitor to sue the council for it. The council spends more fighting you than the support would have cost. Physio is a forty week wait. Your back does not have forty weeks.
