| 00:00 - 00:03 | We need to elect a council leader. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | To start our work. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Our majority is large. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | We have councillors from many areas. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | But it's not large enough. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | The Tories will vote |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | with us, it will be fine. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Councillor Wood. |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | The Tories... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | The Tories abstained. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | They think we're numpties. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Colne Valley councillors stay - everyone else out. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | What the fuck? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | We have 29 councillors. |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | We should be able to stop all the boats with that. |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | And what's a "standing order"? |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | It's so confusing. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | Go to the induction they said. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | It'll take five days they said. |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Well, fuck that. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | The induction was four days. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | And fuck you too! The snooker was on! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | The snooker finished on May 4th,. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | I recorded it! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Fuckwit! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Derek was coming around. |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | We were going to watch it on VHS. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | I'd got a 24 pack of Kopparberg. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Kiwi and Lime. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | And you. You speak to me of inductions? |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | Stick them up your arse. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | It's just a glorified committee. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | How difficult is it? |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | Agenda item 1 - make me leader. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | Item 2 - stop the boats. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Item 3 ... |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Actually that's all the items. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | How hard can that be? |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | But they want us to vote. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | They want us to follow a "constitution". |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | I never had to do that on the bins. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It's OK. We'll stop the boats next week. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Didn't have to do any training |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Unless you wanted to drive the wagon. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | No votes. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | No... standing orders. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | ...we should have read the small print. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | I liked being a bin man. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Fuck. |
