The Borough of North Wolds. Can't say I'd heard of that one before.
EDIT: it was the previous name of the old East Yorkshire district.

Wait till you encounter Pastonacres District Council. Also Wallingford District Council didn't last long.

On the other hand, Uttlesford district, for which I claim some of the credit, was predicted for an early demise, but is still with us.

South Yorkshire covers eleven parliamentary constituencies and ten are held by Labour. Perhaps UKIP being unaware of 3 of the constituencies in the area was part of why they didn't do as well as some thought they might.

I think it's a reliable rule of thumb that when anybody tells you they aren't spinning, they're so full of shit they could provide fertiliser for a couple of counties.

I periodically say that Labour voters die younger. Statistically, it's true.

The electorate of the Labour heartlands might ask "Why do we have poor life expectancy? Why do we have poor schools? Why do we have poor housing?" why do we have........ etc etc etc. We can now add "why do so many or our kids get sexually abused"? its because, dear voter, you asked for it. You can't possibly have extrapolated that with a straight face. Sent from my GT-I9195 using proboards
