Hello chat. This wonderful example of local democracy in action popped through my letterbox yesterday. A symphony of hostility. You might enjoy it. There is nothing wrong with my brain.

A very basic folded A4 pamphlet on plain white paper. The text is presented in a serif font. Some elements are redacted.

The text reads:

TOWN COMMISSION ELECTION
Polling Day Thursday

I am eighty years old now, not very mobile and I have been one of your commissioners since 2002. I think I have served you well so I am asking you to vote me in for another term.

There is nothing wrong with my brain and I have never been afraid to speak my mind, common sense I'm afraid is not very common. I have put ideas to other commissioners and eventually they sink in, then they claim the ideas for their own.

Please ask previous commissioners what they have done for (redacted town name) apart from wasting your money and painting toilets silly colours.

Someone, please, just thank this person for the altered tables. (more rubble)

Here is a few of my ideas that no notice was taken of -

The reason a few years ago to destroy (redacted) was they had no fire escapes. I told them how to sort that out (took no notice) Now we have a very expensive heap of rubble.

We had the offer of a possible swap of the bus station for the ground we have just bought to make a new bus station, and we could have the old one as a huge building site and the busses would have no more bother at race times. No notice was taken.

I suggested the new (redacted) be heated with oil (still the cheapest) so they went for gas.

(Redacted) was closed down because the flats were said to be to small. Two flats could have been knocked into one, a lot cheaper than knocking down and re building. Its going to be knocked down (more rubble)

Now what have I done for the town apart from fight against stupidity and try and keep your rates down.

I provided one hundred thousand pounds for a skate park for the kids.

I saved seventeen thousand pounds altering tables in the town hall that I got no thanks for.
