I only troll silly people, so I guess that people on here are pretty safe
To answer newgroundrodney, it could be a number of things:
* Apathy - 'nothing will change, even if we do try, so why even bother'
* Do people believe in the Council? If you were a Councillor, and constantly hounded online or in real life why should you care? Personally, I have little time for Councillors or Politicians of any colour or persuasion, but I do think that sometime the abuse they get is beyond the pale.
* The Council may actually want to make changes but money is short, so maybe businesses should start to get involved where the Council can't/won't. Perhaps businesses who invest in the community could be rewarded with taking a certain % off their tax?
* It might actually be a conspiracy to purposely run the City down into the ground - in which case, please watch for Illuminati Lizards coming out of the River Usk.
