What a brilliant idea Mary. Maybe the beloved Tony Blair can announce yet another time wasting initiative to rid the streets and gardens of this great country of ours of all rubbish & waste.
Of course we will need a rubbish supremo – or even a rubbish Tsar – just like all the other rubbish Tsars that Tony & his cronies have foisted on us over the years.
Perhaps he can persuade a captain of industry to lend NL a few million quid to fund this – for the usual backhander of a Peerage.
It was the Tory party that introduced Tsars. :roll:
Robocop aka Keith Halliwell was the Tory drug Tsar. Promoted by John
Major, alongside his ‘family values’ initiatave. All that while he was
cheating on his wife and shagging Eggwina Curry, {a rare breed of
politician who dared to tell the truth, and got sacked by the Tories for it)! :lol:So much for family values.
:roll:Of course…. I forgot. Only Conservative politicians have extra-marital affairs with journalists and get caught shagging blokes up the bum on Clapham Common. NL aparatchiks would never do such a thing would they??? Silly me for not spotting the obvious flaw in my argument.

It’s a well known fact that the single largest source of ‘global warming’ gas (methane) is as a by product of ruminant’s digestive tracts.
Put simply, every time a cow scoffs grass etc and digests it, a large quantity of methane gas is produced which the said cow then farts into the atmosphere.
The fatter the cow, the more grass it scoffs, and the more methane gas it produces.
So stuff yer Kyoto so-called agreements – the only sane way forward is to ban fat cows.
In fact all cows should be banned and we could make a good start by banning the dead loss Health Secretary Barbara Hewitt who is producing enough oral farting to fill the Millenium Dome – oooops sorry I mean the O2 Dome. (We don’t want to drag up ALL of NL’s failures do we???).
That gave me a helpless fit of the giggles PB :lol: :lol: :lol: Welcome back, hope you had a good holiday :wink:

It’s also a well known fact that animal farming is extremely uneconomical.
Vegetarian breakfast anyone? :wink:If a significant number of people in the world became vegetarian,
there would be a surplus of food, and there could be a return to
more natural, organic and extensive methods of producing it.10 acres of land (5 football pitches) will support –

CATTLE24 April, 2006 at 8:53 am #210127How do we grow cattle these days ??
I’d like to disagree with the greenies about bins . I pay a lot of rates – in which my refuse collection is included – if they want to separate it into different categories then they should so it themsleves at the tip – as far as I am concerned my rubbish goes into a bin end of story .
We have a green bin and a blue bin – the blue bin is “green” ffs
So if u have a chicken carcass or whatever to put in the bin day after general collection it will be there for 2 weeks – by which time the bin will be moving up and down the street itself !!!!!!!!
Again I believe it’s pc shyte – nature will do what it does and has done for millions of years – the earth spins on it’s axis – end of story – whatever happens will happen13 January, 2013 at 4:55 pm #210128I agree. As a council tax payer I don’t see why the council expects me to sort my rubbish into different bins. If they want to recycle waste – fine – but then they should sort it after collecting.
I have stopped ‘recycling’ food waste in a separate bin because it always went mouldy and the council recycling people didn’t empty it out properly anyway.
I live near an old quarry where I’m told there are big mountains of ‘recycled’ glass and plastic that nobody wants – that’s landfill by any other name!
14 January, 2013 at 12:34 pm #210129The thing is… there is only so much money in the Council pot. Why shouldnt we take some personal responsibility for recycling? I get fed up with people expecting “someone else” to do everything.
