A cash-strapped council has been criticised after it announced plans to spend nearly £40,000 of taxpayers' money on iPads for every councillor.
Oh, yeah?
One councillor justified the move claiming her laptop was ''heavy'' making it difficult to take to several meetings a day.
Keep digging.
Labour councillor Sarah Russell, who is awaiting delivery of the highest-spec 64 gigabyte model, said: ''We're trying out the iPad to see whether it improves the way we work as councillors.
Dear thieving bastards, you are just trying to give your councillors the latest toy at the taxpayers' expense, as usual. I offer one of many possible alternatives. Note the £600 price difference.
You really are just taking the fucking piss. End of story.

Bollocks. All you need in a meeting is a pen and paper at a cost of the square root of fuck all. I would ban all laptops, ipods and other toys in meetings so that people concentrate on the matters to hand and not spend time knobbing around on the internet or MSMing their mates.
Notes? print them off or write them out.
PS I banned iphones when they first came our, those with them had moved in to a different space-time continuum and spent meetings flicking the screen and admiring the graphics.
You can get a filofax for ten nicker at my local petrol station,comes with a pen.
Loony, left-wing Leicester City Council. Don't you just love 'em?
They are facing a repair bill of tens of millions of pounds to repair 'urgent structural problems' at their HQ which is 'affectionately' known as the Banana Blocks by the few residents of the city who actually have English as a first language. I hate the bloody things. Yet another sub-standard blight on the landscape of Leicester approved by this useless bunch of knuckle draggers.
The Council's Deputy Chief Twat has said that any repairs should offer the people of Leicester the best value for money. This is especially pertinent in view of the millions of pounds of cuts they will have to make.
So what do these pillocks do? Dish out iPads to every councillor like they are sweeties knowing that they are going to have to screw the taxpayer to repair or replace their shitty HQ.
Use a pen and paper you dumb-ass robbing bastards.
The school I used to go to has just had a £47m refit and all the students are lined up to get an ipad each, although that plan was put in place just before the election (by Balls) and may not survive. I’m secretly hoping they do all get an ipad, because I want one, then rather than pay out £400, I can just stand outside the school gates and buy one for £50.
It would be like a rebate on my excessive taxes.
FFs, doesn't anyone understand? ipads are essentials. No other expenditure (apart from salaries) comes anywhere near it.
AAgghh. That makes me angry. They obviously put their need well above the needs of their consistency. Hypocritical diseased cunts.
I'm glad I was anonymous for that last post! :)
They give themselves iPads because they can, not because they should.
People who cannot distinguish between "can" and "should" must be kept away from any position of authority until they learn to.
Shameless.
End of.
