The rubbish weapon

To admit to anything other than savage delight at the incontinence of the Kermits would make me a liar – not that one has anything against the breed. But as long as we are locked into the EU, with their government able to influence and direct ours, we wish them nothing but harm. If the situation was different and we were independent nations, my attitude would be very different.

But what is fascinating about the turmoil – apart from the huge costs of the strikes, at €400m (£355m) each day, – is the use of the rubbish weapon. Workers – or non-workers, to be more accurate - are blocking waste incinerators as a tactic to maximise pressure on the government.

Good job we haven't got many then! You can't even consider thinking about the potential of planing to investigate the possibility of a waste incinerator in the UK without people being whipped up into a frenzy against them.

Prevent the refuse collection fleet from operating and civilisation as we know it very quickly grinds to a halt.

It normally grinds to a halt for pedestrians round here even when they are operating, as the crews just leave our wheely bins all over the pavements with no thought for those who use them. And yet I read about other councils who jump at the opportunity to hand out fines when householders don't leave them in exactly the right place...

Very useful for concealing incendiary devices are wheely bins ... delayed action ... one nicely burning refuse truck ... no more wheely bins ...
