Bin Brother - Show Me Your Papers

Bin Brother - Show Me Your Papers
Oh dear, there has been a veritable slurry of stories this week about eco fascist councils and Nanny's "jobsworths" imposing high handed draconian rules and regulations on the time honoured art of waste disposal.

Eh?

I mean, Nanny is sticking her nose into our rubbish bins!

Plymouth council (a Tory one, that should know better) is the latest in a line of councils to don their jackboots, and stomp over people's rubbish bins. The council will be issuing an edict informing the good citizens of Plymouth that families will be forced to name somebody to be in charge of their rubbish, under the council's "zero tolerance" approach to bin collections.

How about a zero tolerance approach to robbery, muggings and scum on the streets?

The hapless individual who "volunteers" to be "Bin Master" faces £100 fines and a criminal record (yes, a criminal record!) if their household puts the wrong rubbish in its wheelie bins, puts them out too soon, or puts them in the wrong place.

Just to remind you...

This is a Tory council!

Plymouth Council is living up to my oft stated belief that local councils are fit for nothing, aside from raising tax and imposing petty unpleasant rules on their local populations, and should be abolished.

The "Bin Master" (or "Mistress") will also be expected to give council officials a breakdown of everyone who lives in their home, together with intimate information including details of medical conditions.

They will even be asked to number babies and toddlers who use disposable nappies.

Think you can avoid this?

The council are threatening to fine people who do not comply with orders from the council.

The "Bin Master/Mistress" must submit their name, their age, and their signature.

Quote:

"If you fail without reasonable excuse to comply with any requirement specified in this notice you will be liable on summary conviction to a fine."

One question in the forms is particularly "amusing":

"reasons why a member of your household generates more rubbish than average (eg a medical condition)."

So what happens if people from other families throw their excess rubbish into your bin?

Should we be locking our bins now?

The only way to stop this absurd nonsense is for everyone who receives one of these forms to refuse to fill it in. Only a 100% boycott will show the idiots in the council who really hold the whip hand.

Feel free to tell Plymouth Council what you think of them:

I would also recommend that you tell David Cameron too, it's absurd ideas like this that will stop him kicking Nu Labour out of orifice.

Roll back the frontiers of the state, and reclaim your lives and freedom!

The Dangers of Cabbage Stalks

The Dangers of Cabbage StalksFollowing on from yesterday's article about the Waste Gestapo in Norwich stomping their jackboots on an elderly man for putting a ketchup bottle in the wrong bin, it appears that they have a certain relish for stomping on the elderly and have done it again.

As retired milkman Barry Freezer (73) found to his cost recently, when he attempted to throw away some cabbage stalks in his bin.

Norwich City Gestapo refused to collect his waste and treated him like a criminal.

The binmen were following an edict of Nanny's that forbids food that may have come into contact with meat from being mixed with garden waste for composting, to prevent outbreaks of diseases such as foot and mouth.

For fark's sake!

Mr Freezer said:

"When did you last buy a cabbage with a stalk at a supermarket?

It should be obvious that this was garden waste that never came into contact with the kitchen.

I pay £35 a year on top of my council tax to have a garden waste bin and I am being treated like a criminal for following the rules.

No one told me exactly what I had done wrong so I moved the cabbage stalks into the household refuse bin, which was collected the following week. I then had to wait another week to see if they would collect the shrubbery clippings in my garden waste.

What am I supposed to do when my potatoes come? Sometimes the top is diseased and you shouldn't compost them.

I'll have to put them in the household bin but that won't be collected if it has garden waste.

The system is ridiculously complicated. People like me will be making 'mistakes' all the time.

I could burn my garden waste but it's not good for the environment
."

Mr Freezer's bin was "red tagged" as a punishment; normally two yellow warning tags are issued before a red tag, which is a final warning meaning rubbish won't be collected until it complies with the rules.

These ecofascists are the same "genetic spawn" as those who ban smoking, drinking, swimming, Mary Whitehouse wanabees etc.

They are sexually and socially inadequate individuals, with personality disorders, who get their rocks off by imposing their narrow views on the rest of us.

It is our fault for allowing Nu Labour to give these people the whip hand over us, and it is now time to wrest that whip back from them and to kick Nu Labour out of orifice.

Nanny Bans Ketchup - Again

Nanny Bans Ketchup - AgainNanny's concern for the environment, in theory, is highly laudable.

We have but one planet, and to "crap on our own doorstep" is neither pleasant nor wise for our future health and well being.

However, in life, there are no black and white issues merely shades of grey. These grey realities require sensible human beings to exercise commonsense and sound judgement, before imposing petty rules and regulations.

It is a well recognised trait of Nanny that she possesses neither commonsense, nor sound judgement. She sees the world in black and white, and seeks to impose her petty rules and regulations irrespective of reality.

This sad reality was vividly brought home to Lenny Woodward, a 95 year old former Desert Rat who now resides in Norwich, the other day.

His crime?

He placed a ketchup bottle and coffee jar in the wrong bin.

His punishment?

Norwich council refused to collect his rubbish.

Residents of Norwich, like many towns across Nanny's Britain, have to suffer under the yoke of rigid rules wrt refuse disposal; they have a blue wheelie bin for cans and cardboard, a green box for glass and a black bin for other waste.

Mr Woodward made the mistake of putting the ketchup bottle and a coffee jar in the blue bin, when they should have gone in the green box.

A crime against the state!...in Nanny's eyes anyway.

When Nanny's binmen inspected the blue bin (doesn't this sound rather like they are employed as council spies?), they refused to empty it and attached a tag to it warning him not to break the rules again.

Mr Woodward's daughter rang Norwich City Council to explain that he made a mistake based on uncertainty about the system, rather than evil malice. Unfortunately the council have adopted that well known excuse used by petty officials from earlier times:

"Rules have to be obeyed".

Errmm...if the rules are ridiculous, no they don't!

You know folks, when these scumbags in local councils start to talk to people like that there is only one course of action left; remind them very forcibly who is the master and who is the servant.

Mr Woodward said:

"I'm very sorry it happened. It's just I'm confused. I don't know which bin is which so I put the wrong things in the wrong bin.

They could have knocked on my door and spoken to me about it instead of putting a note on the bin saying they would not empty it.

It all seems very childish. I've never broken the law before. I haven't even had a parking fine or speeding ticket
."

Mr Woodward comes from a generation who fought against oppression and tyranny being imposed by tinpot corporals, that generation was brought up to respect genuine authority and the rule of law.

Regrettably, Nanny and her acolytes in local councils have destroyed people's respect for the rule of law and for authority. That is why social order is breaking down.

Prats of The Week

Prats of The WeekTime methinks for another one of my prestigious, and internationally renowned, "Prats of The Week" Awards.

This week it goes to a local council...

Gosh no surprises there then!

Local councils have over the past few years acted as Nanny's stormtroopers in her war against freedom of choice, freedom of action and freedom per se.

Local councils add no value whatsoever to people's lives. Which is kind of odd really, given the fact that it's the local residents that pay council tax to keep these unloved and unwanted organs of the state in existence.

Anyhoo, this week's award to goes to Portsmouth Council.

For why?

Ask Lourdes Maxwell.

Over the last 25 years Ms Maxwell has erected (can I say that?) a paddling pool in her communal garden every summer in front of her house, for her grandchildren and the neighbours' children to play in.

The pool is a staggering and death defying 2ft deep.

This year there will be no pool.

For why?

Portsmouth Council have decreed that it needs a lifeguard.

Yes, you did read that correctly!

They also decreed that she must have insurance policy as well.

The health and safety Gestapo put their size ten jackboots in, when Ms Maxwell wrote to the council asking for permission to put a bigger pool in the communal garden outside her home.

She was promptly told it was too dangerous, and also told to empty the existing pool.

Now you see the clear lesson here is, never ever tell your local council anything.

They cannot be trusted to use the information in a sensible or helpful way.

After an intervention by her MP, Portsmouth "generously" allowed Ms Maxwell to have a pool but only if she pays for insurance and ensures that supervisors were on constant watch.

Ms Maxwell is not the only resident required to obey rather petty rules, all residents who use the communal gardens must ask permission before performing any relatively harmless task such as having a barbecue.

Ms Maxwell did ask around for insurance but said "they just laughed at me. No one offers insurance for paddling pools".

I am sure some greedy fast buck insurance company will now!

What's the betting it will be a £5M liability? That's the norm isn't it?

Nigel Selley, Portsmouth Council's neighbourhood manager, said:

"We did not have sufficient assurances that the risks associated with providing such a facility would be well-managed.

We have since spoken to Ms Maxwell and she is aware of our concerns for child safety and the risks associated with drowning
."

"such a facility"??

Pompous ass...it's a farking 2ft paddling pool, it's not a facility!

These people are totally disconnected from reality, and take a real pleasure out of interfering in the day to day lives of normal people.

Why not drop Portsmouth Council a wee note and let them know what you think?

Taking The Puss

Taking The Puss
Our "respected" local councils are up to no good again, as Joy Tracey from Denton found to her cost recently.

Joy recently found a stray ginger cat, who she called Copper, and tried to reunite him with his owners.

Having visited local cat homes and advertising in the local paper, to no avail, she decided to put posters up on lampposts.

Can you guess what happened next?

Yes, that's right, two "council patrollers" from the town hall's neighbourhood task force left messages on her phone ordering her to take them down.

She said:

"They said I had to go round and take them all down or face a heavy fine.

It makes me feel angry. If it was a scruffy poster I wouldn't mind, but it's been really neatly done. I just want to get this poor cat home. I'd had no response and he's such a loving cat.
"

Under Nanny's rules anyone who wants to put posters on lampposts must apply in writing to council highways engineers for permission, at least 28 days in advance.

Fair enough for fly posters etc. However, surely a little bit of commonsense could have been exercised here and the "approval" granted "after the fact"?

Unfortunately, Nanny does not possess commonsense.

A spokesman for Tameside council said:

"We understand the distress when pets go missing.

However we have to reflect and act upon community concerns such as flyposting
."

Ugh!

The old "following orders" excuse!

Purrfectly Purrposterous!

FYI, all the fuss did have one good outcome; Copper's owners read about it, and were reunited with him.

The Dangers of Trees - Monkey Puzzle For The Chop

The Dangers of Trees - Monkey Puzzle For The Chop
The health and safety Gestapo have donned their jackboots and are on the march again.

This time they have set their sights on a 150 year old monkey puzzle tree in West Cross, Swansea.

The tree's crime?

Seemingly, according to the health and safety "experts", the needles are akin to syringes and are a danger to children.

The result being that the local knob heads in the council want to chop the tree down.

Just to remind you, the tree has been there for 150 years...no one has died from its needles.

Why, suddenly, does this tree pose a health and safety risk to the modern generation?

The report presented by the health and safety Gestapo contained the following ludicrous comments:

"Every effort is made in this day and age to prevent children playing with discarded syringe needles.

Every effort must be made to prevent children coming into contact with these potentially, equally sharp needles
."

Errmmm...do people really get paid with our money to produce this shit?

Hypos are dangerous because they are most likely to be infected with blood borne diseases.

Pine needles are not!

Mike and Carol Crafer are leading a campaign to save the tree, and have even tried pricking themselves with the needles (to no avail).

Swansea council don't give a stuff, and have said:

"Safety experts have said the tree is too much of a risk to children for it to remain.

One expert likened the tree foliage to discarded syringe needles and warns they pose a probable risk of serious injury to children. The authority could find itself defending any litigation, should this arise
."

What are local councils really useful for?

Fark all I would say!
