00:00They're losing the funding because they haven't hit the target. No, I don't think it will

00:06probably lead to better roads. I think Bristol Council is pretty much almost bankrupt, so

00:16Yeah, I mean, again, a sign of a broken system.

00:22I don't think that they are particularly rich, but potholes are potholes because it means

00:27that instead of improving, repairing stuff, you know, they are going to, how to say, those

00:35guys who are just smashing into it at eleven o'clock in the evening and bomb and something

00:41is broken, money, and then it's not alone, but several of them.

00:46Still, yes and no. In some places, you see with the cars, you know, oh, what's going
