What else do you call it when your rubbish is piling up with no collection, AND no where to take it.
What else do you call it when key infrasture builds are put on hold 'until resolution'
What do you call it when public transport to and from city centres is held?

And you call me emotive? I'm not asking anyone to do it for free, but at the same time, i'm not going to pay my garbage man the same salary as my surgeon.
