"It's always better for a president in a time of war to go to the public and explain what he's trying to do, to explain the goals, to explain why it's worth American treasure and lives," Peter Baker stated, emphasizing the importance of clear communication during conflict.
The council defended the posts, saying they had been viewed by thousands and that nobody else had complained. The posts came after the south-east London authority announced it would be investing 5m to tackle fly-tipping, including the installation of new CCTV cameras, a public reward scheme and tougher sanctions. The council's X and Facebook pages both had a picture of a refuse worker throwing a bag of rubbish into a compactor, with the statement: "We're not putting up with this s*** anymore."
The appropriateness of language is situational and dependent on company and context. We do not consider the use of We're not putting up with this s***' to be appropriate in a public communication from the council, and it is not an example we should be setting to our young people in our roles as community leaders. It is unprofessional, offensive, and reflects poorly on us as councillors.
