What sort of numbskull thinks that garbage collection is superfluous activity? You couldn't make this nonsense up!

And the Fascists just keep rolling on. Labour and the Tories have made such an disgusting mess of this country in their desparation to line thier own pockets and those of their cronies that people clearly believe that they need an alternative ... and they absolutely do, but for goodness sake the fascists is only going to be out of the frying pan into the fire! We have no actual democracy when the best we can do is to choose the least worst. There is no real dofference between Labour and Tories since the dark days of New Labour (a euphemism for Tory-light). If people really feel that Reformare the way forward then I think it is time to leave the UK!!
