We have (had?) a geezer in my little hometown called Mad Mike..
He got into trouble with the council after he decided that he wanted a basement under his ground floor flat in a 3 storey end terrace town house, and dug it out himself by hand with a spade and a shovel..
He seriously messed up the foundations, the building became unstable exacerbated by the fact it was on a steep hill and eventually after it had been extensively propped up for a bit it had to be demolished and all in all it was quite an expensive mess, and quite traumatic for the other occupants of the building I imagine..
Mad Mike wasn’t happy about any of this, and embarked on a decade long campaign to topple the local council, uncovering conspiracies, corruption and scandals on a scale that would make jivehoneyjive look like a well balanced, trusting citizen..
Mike made huge banners and posters to display his findings and after getting in trouble for erecting his propaganda in town, he took to driving his car to well travelled out of town spots each and every day and bolting giant billboards to it handpainted with all his grievances..
I dunno what happened to Mike, he was never overly aggressive (bar a bit of shouting) but I’ve met many many people a good deal more psychotic that have blamed the council for everything that is wrong in their life..
I dunno.. maybe you’re right jambalaya – maybe it’s an ex member of shawaddywaddy who’s converted to an extreme form of catholicism, maybe it’s Michael Jackson back from the dead
This is England remember?
I’m pretty certain the eccentrics still outnumber the extremists by a very large margin
