I was asked by some Festival Organisers to show a defiant I don't care
look for Rutland County Council and Oakham Town Council and  Leicestershire
Police, due their idiotic ban from council premises so here it is behind bars!
and please Cllr Lucas how many times have I told you I am not deaf.
I was pleased to hear you are dealing with the councils destructive person and
everything is going well, Tell me if its going so well why did CPS chuck out 
your stupid charges for the second time? Pointing and talking about a person
standing less then 2 metres from you is not wise! I am pleased you and Bob 
could not find your ear plugs and departed fairly early, although I was not going 
to let you spoil my evening...
