Ousted Labour councillor caught bulldozing a community centre
Labour council leader Claire Kober recently resigned. Some say she was hounded out by ultra-left eco-pricks. Others say that her plan to help big business gentrify local residents out of their homes was at odds with Labour’s aim of being less evil.
Another councillor who was ousted has taken matters into their own hands, however. Although it’s hard to tell what they think said plan has achieved.
Full steam ahead
Ex-councillor Bob Roberts stole a bulldozer at 11:30pm on Sunday 4 February. As he headed for town, he was heard shouting:
This will show those Stalinists who cares for the community more!
And:
I probably shouldn’t have drunk so much champagne at that Carillion buffet!
Not long after, Roberts bulldozed several council houses and a local community centre. As people’s lives were crushed beneath his mighty progress, the former politician yelled:
Read on...
Moderate politics for the win, baby! Woo! Blair did nothing wrong!
Roberts then passed out. Luckily, his fall from the bulldozer was cushioned by all the money that had been stuffed into his pockets by construction companies.
Ruthless efficiency
Claire Kober said she wouldn’t have been called incompetent if she were a man. The issue with these people isn’t that they’re bad at getting things done, though: it’s that they’re very efficient at doing bad things.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
