That’s mental. You couldn’t get the council to send out a work team to clear out a truly dilapidated alley even if you bribed them with season passes to one of the two clubs. Kind of feels spiteful.

"Anger as [whatever]" is the new slammed. It's a stupid fucking sentence fragment and of course it doesn't really even mean more than 5 Twitter users are angry

It makes sense here for the people that have poured time and money into improving their community over the years, only for it to be mindlessly vandalised by bureaucrats.

I'm taking issue with the stupid way of writing. Not the point it's making

What makes you think that this is a new phrase?

What makes you think headlines have always included versions of "Fury as [something]"? If you're looking to argue with me about a style opinion, I'm good.

Oh wait no, let me try again.

ANGERED!

Anger as this comment drives up engagement

"Anger and inaction" as people complain and do nothing.

Next they'll be "slammed" or "facing calls".

Damn. That was a lovely alley.
