recycling nazi,s

[theconrodkid]

on the radio this morning was a bit that said,if you live in the london borough of brent and dont recycle they will fine you £1000.
is that a national law that isnt enforced (yet?) or a local one and can a council make up laws to persecute people who dont subscribe to their "green" ideology?

I thought someone was going to say that Martin Borman was making a comeback.

Thing is that extreme right and extreme left actually meet at the back of the circle - authoritarian dictatorships.

As long as an act is 'decriminalised' (like parking) it means the Council can do what they want - until they suddenly find the mob carting them off to the nearest lampost. And imposing £1,000 files means they can brag about helping the environment (yawn) and also about keeping Council Tax down.

4 weeks ago they put a big red sticker on the bin informing me of the fine, they also gave me a green recycling box (no lid) and a list of items of things you can recycle - the batteries and packaging have been in there for 3 weeks...

What are you going to do, pay the bailiffs with old beer cans?

Apparently they're "monitoring" this by checking that the recycling box is out on the right day with something in it. We tend to drop off much of our recycling at the local depot or Sainsbury's recycling centre since the box is rather ugly. Undoubtedly this will be no defence from the Brent morons.

Take it to court and enjoy watching them getting their arses kicked....

All you need are date stamped pics of yourself at the skips.
