Due to the courages and penetrating freedom of information request by a civic-minded member of the public it has come to light that Leicester City Council is unprepared for the Inevitable Zombie Invasion: > **[Leicester City Council 'not ready' for zombie attack](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-13713798)** > > A local authority admits it is unprepared for a zombie invasion, following a Freedom of Information request. Eye-opening I’m sure you’ll agree, I bet they don’t even have a plan for when the Aliens finally attack! ---

I think we should really be concerned about the Zombie invasions here on the Dope. Think about it - the policy used to be when a zombie appeared you would report to a mod and it would be locked down. Now, suddenly zombies are okay and acceptable. Clearly all the mods have been replaced by brain eating zombies. Brings a whole new dimension to fighting ignorance. ---
