Good old Corby - still raking it in!

Council leaders in Corby have announced themselves as being, "content" that £6,000,000 earmarked for the Isham bypass has been snatched from this project to help fund road works in Corby.  Most councillors were amazed to hear that such a large sum of money had actually been allocated to public works that were clearly not going to benefit Corby.

One Corby councillor added, "I've never even been to Isham, and wouldn't want to.  In fact, I have no idea where it is, and to be honest, I don't care if everyone in the place is run over on their roads."

Corby's fiscal policies
remain on a sensible,
sustainable footing

A resident of Isham said, "It's a bit of a blow considering the twenty years of constant campaigning we have done to be in a position to have a bypass around our village.  But then again, as long as it's going to Corby, we can't really complain.  Perhaps they'll use the money wisely and build their football team a third ground to play on."

"It will almost be worth the dozens more traffic accidents and fatalities we will have to endure in the years to come." he added.

Whilst announcing this latest windfall, Corby Council also decreed that it had awarded itself the contract to dash their hands down the back of everyones sofas, looking for spare change, access to the gold teeth of the recently deceased, and worldwide "first dibbs" on any recovered Nazi loot.
