Birmingham City Council signed off on a two-year £300M cut last night; they're skint. Broke, the cashbox is empty!

Like it or not, it's due to poor management, two binmen strikes, hosting the Commonwealth games, investing in a shite IT system that cost more than its worth. Being found guilty of underpaying women for years, and yet a union guy was threatening further strike action while others seemed to think there was a magic wand or a printing press in the council basement that was able to continue haemorrhaging money.

What was the total bollocks stock answer that's always given: "Central Government caused this." 🤦‍♂️

Yeh I mean if they'd given the £300M to a local IT company....

Over £100M they've spent on the Oracle migration so far, and it's still not working properly.
