It would appear that this council is run by sadists, and exclusively for masochists. Anyone else living there just end up absorbing the collateral damage, alright? Think about this for a minute: It's called the "Killjoy Council", and that should ring a few bells.

In case it doesn't, I was able to quickly look up a couple of other inane things this council has done:

Killjoy council orders family to tear down 12ft treehouse in back garden because it doesn't have planning permission | Daily Mail Online[^]
Girl, 9, writes scathing letter to killjoy housing chiefs | Daily Mail Online[^]

One solution would be to wrap a blanket around the head of council officials (one at a time) as they're walking on an empty stretch of road and give them a rain of blows from various directions, asking shouting things like "If you look at Susie again, I'll kill you", or "You monster, why did you do that to Danny?!", or "Stop selling drugs to schoolkids or we will break your legs", etc. That will leave them confused enough not to mess with the normal lives of other people.

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
