Doing my job I get to drive around town ,has anyone noticed the street bins are huffing overflowing. It's shocking, people are rightly clearing up after their dogs but can't hardly get the stuff in the bins ,its a joke! :(

We’re just down the Beach waiting to go into ground and I’ve never seen so much dog waste and bins overflowing as I have witnessed today, litter everywhere, it’s a disgrace mate.

You wouldn't believe that it's a tourist destination and needs to present itself in the best light at all times.

We're doing our bit I hope but the council has gotta do theirs too,  KEEP BRITAIN TIDY  What a joke !l wish l could fine them !

I meant the council

I know kingstonmariner ,just on my soapbox mate  ;D

Messy streets pisses me off too. Half the lazy arseholes round here seem happy to drop their litter.

It's Government funding cuts in action. Councils are at breaking point and yet austerity measures keep biting. Well, they do for the general public, not the fookers who do the cutting.

Always quick to blame the government! When these fortnightly collections came in I was the first to complain as my wheelie bin was always full on the weekly collection, but I thought I would make the effort and see if it would actually work, well I surprised myself and the recycling as worked great the wheelie bin is now only half full at the end of the week, my only gripe is the crap recycling boxes once they are full the plastic blows all over the shop with a bit of wind, if the council could address this, issue bigger bins to larger family's, and then educate the thick and lazy, maybe warning letters and then fines for those not recycling I think the streets would look a hell of a lot tidier.

However if they are not prepared to address this we must keep complaining about the fly tipping so we just revert back to weekly collections and clean streets again.

Government funding cuts to local councils will reach an estimated 77% by 2020. How can that not be the fault of the government? It's a direct result of these heinous austerity measures.

The recycling boxes are an issue but I find if you squash the cans flat,undo plastic bottle lids and squash them and replace lids,place the newspaper box on top of the plastic bottle box then lastly the glass box on top .then get those elastic cycle luggage thingy bobs with the hooks at either end and connect them together,it works a treat and the bin men just pop them in the box for me to reuse next time .no blowy about rubbish ! ;)

The government want people to blame their local council for the problems caused by the budgets being slashed. It's a deliberate choice to try and avoid blame for cutting back on things such as children's services, other social care and the like that, actually, most people are quite happy to see money spent on. Unfortunately, plenty of people fall for the ruse, hence the complaints about rubbish on the streets.

Oddly enough, the poorest areas which are more reliant on government spending (more likely to vote Labour) have had to suffer much greater larger cuts than wealthier areas less reliant on government spending (more likely to vote Conservative). Gosh, what a surprise! IFS link below for further information:

https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/8705

Tells you all you need to know about the Tories that their claims that "We're all in it together" aren't actually true.

Regarding the recycling boxes, we got one of the bigger orange ones for plastics and foil from the council and it holds a good deal more than the original ones. Without that, we would really struggle! Bottles and paper/cardboard aren't an issue. On the other hand, as our little lad is still in nappies, the bin tends to be jam packed after a couple of weeks. Without them, wouldn't really be a problem.

Place a ban on "pet" dogs , end of problem.

It would help if the UK wasn't in trillions of debt because of leftists policies.

Wow, when did the Conservatives become, 'leftists'? That's a new one:

http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2017/11/27/the-tories-created-two-thirds-of-the-uks-national-debt/

Anyway, scaremongering about the national debt at the current levels is just something the Tories and their chums have been promulgating to help them continue in their quest to redistribute wealth upwards. Very effectively, as well.

Who owns the national debt? Well, mostly us, in the form of UK pension funds and investors, so repayments fund pensions and are paid back into our economy in any case:

https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/1407/economics/who-owns-government-debt/

Approximately one quarter of our national debt is owned by the Bank of England after it was created by QE. Now, I know the BoE is theoretically 'independent' but anybody believes that the government doesn't tell it what to do is living in cloud cuckoo land. How many know, for instance, that the interest payments from QE go towards paying off the national debt?

This applies to the UK, the UK has a national debt of £1.56 trillion. We have a shadow government wanting to ignore this and spend, spend and spend. The 1.56 trillion debt is only growing, who is going to pay for this? We have given the EU 50 billion annually for decades, given millions in foreign aid. Does the UK government know that they service their citizens? This is why Brexit happened and many people are turning against Globalism.

Like what the great Thomas Sowell said, "No matter how much people on the left talk about compassion, they have no compassion for the taxpayers."

The United Kingdom is an Orwellian dream. Telford grooping gang scandal another 1,000 white girls groped by men in the Pakistani community. BBC, nothing.

Two conservatives and a classical liberal have been banned from the UK for speaking facts. While ISIS and jihadists after having a holiday in Syria are allowed to preach against British police and institutions and get free council homes and welfare.  

We need to reignite the British patriots of old and revolt against our government for the sake of liberty. Take the thoughts of Gladstone, Locke and John Stuart Mill and remember what made our nation so special. Because ANITFA, Labour's momentum alongside the socialists and neo-communists, also the leftists conservative party don't care.

So what should we do? We should become a lower-tax, lower regulated economy and gain the economic benefits. Trump has done this and now the African American employment rate is at the highest in US history. Also need to actually have a border force and an immigration policy that is rationally sound.

Finally Brits need to start having a total re-think on our political foundations and history. The Government, with all its bureaucrats, cannot run a farm let alone a country. That is why LESS Big Government always leads to prosperity and freedom, whilst Big Government always leads to tyranny and dysphoria and a despotic society. We need a British Bill of Rights, with amendments so we can actually have a basis to defend our rights for freedom of speech etc. Heaven for bid keep our unknown but historic Gun rights (how are we suppose to revolt against a tyrannical government without it?).

Okay rant over  :P  

Some twit has dumped a sofa on Scaffa Top last night/today. Just how lazy have you got to be to make the effort to put a sofa into a vehicle and then drive somewhere to fly tip it rather than take it to Moody Lane? Utter plebs.

Yeesh. What is it with the right-wing enthusiasts here that they expect me to sit and watch 30 flipping minute videos full of clever-sounding claptrap? I could read a transcript of the same thing in a few minutes - in the case of this Molyneux alt-right bloke, just a couple of minutes because he's so long-winded with his staged gasps and sighs (he studied drama and went to theatre school, apparently). Whackier even than Ayn Rand and he's a flipping goldbugger. My brain hurts after listening to most of this video and the fact that some people watch this stuff for fun and find it somehow educational is staggering - a melange of fact, fiction and sheer wrongheadedness.

So, for this video (which I've skipped through), the first thing this free-market, anti-government agitator talks about is the risk from booming corporate debt. There certainly is risk here, though mostly for the corporations selling and those buying the debt. Now, during his critique of this increase in corporate debt (which is partially valid), he somehow blames the US government for the free-market forces pumping up this bubble! This is in the first couple of minutes of his video - a huge conflation which just doesn't make any sense at all. Blaming the government for corporations acting foolishly when you're an anti-government uber-free-marketeer is about as nonsensical as it gets.

Next up (all in the first 4 or 5 minutes, mind) is the usual anti-intellectual criticism of further education so beloved by some of the whackiest right-wingers. In the US (and over here, of course), student debt is now rocketing due to the huge fees charged by the Universities and Colleges. Now, apparently this isn't the fault of the market either, but instead because the US government backs the student loans! And most of these students shouldn't be going anyway because they aren't clever enough, or are indoctrinating themselves to left-wing propaganda and making themselves less employable! Of course, Mr. Molyneux wouldn't have had to pay such huge student fees back when he was at college studying acting and history and the like. I'm not quite sure who he thinks will be the Doctors/Engineers/Scientists in his brave new world given that the right-wing governments no longer fund such people through University.

The increasing US Government debt he later whinges about has increased so greatly because of the vast tax-cuts implemented by right-wing free-marketeer Ronald Reagan, later doubled-down by GWB and now trebled down by Trump whose Corporate tax cuts will massively increase the US deficit.

It may surprise anybody who has read, well, pretty much any news over the past 30 years or so that the neoliberal movement we've seen in government (notably in the US and UK) is apparently a huge 'leftist' plot who are intent on forcing communist dictatorship on the world! I'd imagine that would be a surprise to the likes of Thatcher, Reagan, GWB and Blair, not to mention the many hugely wealthy right-wingers who own the media and whose share of the wealth spirals ever-upwards.

By the way, let me just say anybody who uses the word 'leftist' in a serious context is a complete nincompoop (ah, swearfilter - the word I am trying to use rhymes with 'cluckwit') as far as I'm concerned. Any offence caused completely intentional if you're getting me to waste time responding to rubbish such as this video.

As I mention, I've not watched the whole thing because it was just a crazily banal smorgasbord of far-right nonsense (did he get on to how everything was a global Jewish conspiracy - that seems the market he is aiming at?).

I'm not sure what else he imagines up in this video, but I think you can probably learn all you need to know about Mr. Molyneux from this quote on his Wiki page. Anybody who can come up with something as ridiculously preposterous as this doesn't deserve to have you waste any of your time watching/listening to his hammily-acted videos:

Quoted Text

"If we could just get people to be nice to their babies for five years straight, that would be it for war, drug abuse, addiction, promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases, ... Almost all would be completely eliminated, because they all arise from dysfunctional early childhood experiences, which are all run by women."

Yep, it was them there women who are to blame for the world's ills.  :-/

Goodness, gracious, me! Another right-wing conspiracy theory! Who'd have thought it!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School#Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory

Yet more nonsense originating in the American far right. As usual with these things, the tiniest veneer of fact is mixed up with plenty of propaganda, misdirection and outright lies to produce something about a Jewish-led liberal conspiracy to take over the world. Fricking ridiculous, of course.

What I can't quite understand is how, if there is some vast left-wing conspiracy to destroy democracy as posited by these often fascist American fruitloops, why are the poor doing so badly and the rich doing so well as the right-wing politicians and international bodies do their very best to transfer wealth upwards?

It would have to be some sort of preposterously elaborate false-flag plan with millions of people in collusion as they secretly plotting the downfall of western society whilst pretending to be vastly wealthy right-wingers. I can't imagine how stupid or gullible you'd have to be to believe this could possibly be the case.

Here's a tip. If you develop your worldview from Youtube conspiracy videos, you're probably doing pretty much everything wrong.

Well,after all this debating I still think the council should EMPTY the street bins more often !! ;D

Well, yes, of course.  :)

Here's a tip. If you develop your worldview from Youtube conspiracy videos, you're probably doing pretty much everything wrong.

If you think cultural Marxism is a conspiracy then your flipping nuts! Take a look around you it's everywhere  in School's, university's, TV, the workplace, and especially the state news, we live in a time now where you can't even speak up for our proud history, traditions and culture without being labelled a racist and losing your job, we live in a time where it's now acceptable to be ant-white, anti-male, anti west, anti- christian, even the 'normal' family home is under attack!

Skrill hits the nail on the head we are living in Orwellian times freedom and rights, free speech, democracy are all under attack as we have seen only recently with the banning of the young (true) Conservatives who's only crime was to try and attend a free speech rally! We are led by the establishment elites who have no interest in rich or poor only POWER and CONTROL and how will they achieve this? First they create a huge organisation called the EU then enforce upon us slowly but surely the end of nations, races, families etc the Marxist blueprint of Kalergi.

I'm sure we have talked about Common Purpose before so at least you won't try and deny that one, this front of a so called CHARITY (according to the Wikipedia page written by common purpose😂) Is designed to brain wash our future leaders with cultural Marxism -  https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Common_purpose
Many (probably most) Common Purpose graduates don’t realise that they have been brainwashed, They are just useful idiots implementing the EU dogma in every nook and cranny of society.

It is now inevitable that Britain will become an Islamic country with Sharia law maybe not in my lifetime but I can see British culture being destroyed. Islamification is already underway in our schools, supermarkets, NHS, businesses and much more. You have only got to look at recent history with places like Lebanon that turned fully Islamic over decades and more recently Sweden that's surrendered its identity to see how quickly things change and for good!

Look at what's just been exposed here the biggest ever mass child abuse scandal  (bigger than Rotherham) carried out over a 40 year period with over a thousand young white girls drugged and raped, some reportedly murdered by peadophile grooming gangs, and its been covered up!! But why?
Because the Rapists illegitimates are Pakistani Muslims! (predominantly). But was it reported by our state broadcaster.... no they totally ignored it, and instead reported on a few MP's receiving racist hate mail, but did our own Melanie Onn mention it? After all she's the self appointed champion of women's rights... No! not a mention on her twitter feed, nothing amongst her anti Tory vitriol, spouts against MEN wolf whistling and her fellow MP's receiving racist mail.

Just imagine for a minute if this was the other way round with middle aged white men drugging and raping young Asian girls, can you imagine the outcry!

They took my recycling this morning, you will all be pleased to know.  ;)

Where are the feminists that protested Trump with 'girl private-hats', and recently in the UK? Cultural-Marxism in action, people don't want to criticise 'minorities' because they may seem to be portrayed as 'racist'. This is a mental poison, developed by decades of Frankfurt post-modernist teachings on how the West is bad and every culture is equal. We all know it isn't.

Yeah I thought they would of brought the streets of London to a standstill for the visit of the Saudi prince, as for Telford it's not even on their agenda because to criticise the Muslims is now virtually a hate crime, they are beyond criticism.

Censorship for the opressors and freedom of speech for the oppressed wecome to the Uk 1984 2018

Agree in general terms with Maringer and Ginny, but fortnightly collections work OK here. Providing people don't let their plastic blow about. Just takes a bit of discipline.

YAHOO! ! They've emptied the street bins near my house !they're is a God after all lol ;D
