WHICH genius in the loony department of the council thought this one up?

We are millions in the red so let's spend another £20,000 on flowers for council blocks (November 24).

Another great idea along with pedestrianising St Leonard's. Why not go the whole hog and do the entire city centre?

There are plenty of rate-paying mugs to foot the bill.

I thought the Labour council could waste enough money, but obviously the Liberals mean to beat them with their crazy schemes and waste-of-money jobs.

I could go on but my blood pressure won't stand it.
