Leicester City Council 'not ready' for zombie attack

QuoteA worried member of the public has forced Leicester City Council to admit it is unprepared for a zombie invasion.

The authority received a Freedom of Information request which said provisions to deal with an attack, often seen in horror films, were poor.

The "concerned citizen" said the possibility of such an event was one that councils should be aware of.

"We've had a few wacky ones before but this one did make us laugh," said Lynn Wyeth, head of information governance...

This did raise a giggle and it was nice to read about a government agency not taking itself too seriously for a change!

I think the council did the right thing.
Revealing their plans, even the existence of a plan would tip off the zombie masters.
It pays to keep an eye out though, if council workers start carrying cricket bats or shovels the invasion is probably imminent.

I, for one, would welcome our new zombie overlords.
Prayers that need no answer now, cause I'm tired of who I am
You were my greatest mistake, I fell in love with your sin
Your littlest sin.

Zombie fans invade 'unprepared' Leicester


QuoteJust a week after Leicester's civic leaders admitted they were unprepared for a zombie invasion, a horde of the "undead" has shuffled through the city.

About 150 people in horror make-up took part in the "mass shamble", according to organiser James Dixon.

The mob "groaned and pressed themselves on the glass" at the council's offices...

Big LOL!
