Becoming Howard Beale

I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad.

So, I want you to get up now.

I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.

I want you to get up right now and go to the window.

Open it, and stick your head out, and yell:

I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

Howard Beale; a character played by Peter Finch in the movie Network

The Vision 2031 thing!

What is this thing called Vision 2031? When did it become a thing? Why is it cited in every council report? Who is the author of 2031? Where is the 2031 documentation? It isn’t real so stop citing it!

Consultation

It takes a special sort of talent to attend a consultation event and suggest that people ought to be grateful. You don’t want views, you want to tick a box.

Amey

You can’t even report an overflowing litter bin to them. It takes talent to come up with this crappy contract.

I’m getting to the point where I’m opening that window and yelling at the top of my voice “I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!”
