I’ve discovered a very bizarre story on the Local Government Chronicle website today (unfortunately, it’s behind a paywall).
A very angry idiot has terrorised Lincoln City Council with an axe. The man rampaged through the Customer Services department, smashing computers and windows in his rage at the council (it’s unclear exactly what his gripe was). He finally stopped when the head fell off his axe. Thankfully, no staff were injured during the incident.
This guy caused considerable damage, to the extent that the council is now operating only limited benefits and housing services this week - causing absolute chaos for numerous people relying on these services.
And the real joke about the whole violent episode? This dangerous man got the wrong building – he had meant to vent his rage on Lincolnshire County Council.
