there is a simpsons episode in which homer becomes responsible for springfield's waste disposal. he allows other cities to dump their rubbish all over springfield until mayor quimby finds out what he's doing and sacks him - but only because it damages the golf course.



the same is about to happen in stoke.



do the people of stoke realise that their councillors, in considering such actions, are at least as stupid as homer simpson?

the simpsons is intended, apparently, partly as a warning to the people of the u.s. that their society is completely and utterly fucked-up. british voters should take it as a warning, too, 'cos tony "tiny-penis" bliar is making our country into the same kind of corporation-owned shit-hole that the u.s. has become.
