The poor get poorer and the rich….. well you know the rest!

Money dictates how we live our life, what we do and how we survive. It restricts us and in a way it can define us with relation to how giving we can be towards Nobel causes.

So where is our Robin Hood to stave off excessive fuel prices in the petrol stations, or take on the giants that withhold electric and gas unless we pay extortionate prices. What about food and the cost of living, in an ever increasingly difficult world. We are by no means suffering in comparison to what some people have to endure in this world, in fact compared to third world countries we, ourselves would be considered rich, so are we greedy for wanting more?

No, I don’t think we are, its not greed to want a better life for you or your family and lets face it money, the controller, the dictator is what limits us in our ability to evolve as human beings. But this thing we call money which the government and powers that be use to control us, they are numbers, they mean nothing really, only we place value on those numbers because society conditions us to. When a company makes millions every day how does that change anything, it only adds a few more numbers to a balance sheet, or a computer program running a bank. Its not like the old days where you would barter with live stock because you needed something which someone else had.

Our need for money holds us back, it controls the lifestyle we live.

However, the fact is that this is how our society has evolved unless we all made it change then nothing ever will. Nothing can change because humanity is selfish, if you owned a business you wouldn’t give your things away, and if you didn’t need to work because food, water, electric etc was readily available and free, then chances are most people would simply do nothing but then again that is what a fair few draining the countries fictional numbers (money) do. As a world we need to evolve beyond selfish greed to control and dominate.

I digress a little……

If we are to live by numbers, we are to pay by numbers and die by numbers, then there are things we can do to regain a little power. Stop using some of the bigger players or related companies until their prices come down, if they are not making money then they have no choice but to become more competitive. Imagine if we stopped using a whole chain of companies of companies like BP, if they are not selling their petrol they will go under and so we take control in refusing to hand over our hard earned numbers (money) until it becomes more affordable. The same could be done for large supermarkets, stop using them and revert back to the local traders, the market traders, the people who it benefits the most because with our obsession for retail parks, shopping malls and 24 hour large supermarkets this is what is killing independent traders who buy produce locally, get our farms working again and stop relying on the EU to pay our farmers not to farm. Keep abusing your local councils to make parking near down and city/town centres FREE, this is one of the main reasons people go to retail parks and such and thats because it costs them nothing to park. We could even grow our own!

Lets bullet point:-

• Boycott one large petrol manufacturer and retailer for 6 months, 12 months or more. If they are not making money they will need to become cheaper to get people in.
• School projects could be to farm and grow produce to resell locally, keeps the money local for the school whilst educating the kids to grow.
• Use local farmers for meat and dairy products. There are plenty around who you can buy direct from, in fact buying half a pig (which they butcher for you) and freezing it will save you money.
• Use local market traders for fruit, veg, other meat and fish produce, keeps local people in business and employment whilst keeping the money local.
• Move to one supplier across the country for gas and electric (everyone) other suppliers would have no choice to cut their prices because they are simply not making money with no customers otherwise.

Doing this will hit the bigger brands where it matters for them, doing this allows us to gain some control over what we pay or at least who we pay it to and which outside country gets our numbers (money), in essence we are our own Robin Hood, we just need to step up!

Our council collect our main waste rubbish bin once every two weeks, however our bin fills up within the first week. They then collect the green bin every 2 weeks and this bin is for hedge trimmings, gardening, etc all the things which don’t fill a bin up often, hardly anyone on our street puts their green bin out all the time.

I complained about this and nothing ever happened, our bin fills up and then we bag rubbish next to it, but the bin men won’t take bagged rubbish and they wont take the bin if the lid is too far up as we’ve learnt form their shitty red stickers which threaten to take us to court for paying council tax and getting an piss poor service.

MAGGOTS IS WHAT OUR LABOUR COUNCIL GIVE US!!!!

So the bin is emptied on a Thursday morning, sometimes late after-afternoon. Food waste is then thrown in the bin either that day (with the piled up bags from previous days that they refuse to take and won’t fit in the bin) or the following day, that food waste is then sat there festering for up to 14 days and in this heat it gets rather smelly.

Get the bins cleaned and stop telling me its my job to go to the local garbage disposal centre for extra rubbish, its not my job to do yours!

Ohh and get this, they moved all our cardboard collection to a little green box (was originally the big green wheelie bins which now hardly gets used) which they collect weekly, well we fill two boxes up a week.

My suggestion is collect the black bin three times a month and the green once.

Here are some images for everyone’s enjoyment, Helen gipped and nearly threw up when she discovered them.

Most of the maggots feel to the bottom of the bin as it was opened but you can see a fair few there, there are probably a couple of hundred scattered across the path as well now.

Are Doncaster council trying to bring the rats back with a side order of black death (plague), I hope the government local and national know that rats won’t pay all those extortionate  council taxes if they move in.

Tasty, ehhhhh.

You know that what ever Brown says, he really has something to say off camera, a hidden agenda me thinks! Just look at his behaviour when he thought he was away form the cameras and called a woman a bigot, I really wanted him to let rip in that car whilst people were listening. But all that said, it really just shows him as being human albeit a little two faced.

• I have to consider what Labour has done to us, Poor NHS funding and inadequate doctors resulted in my fathers death, my uncles death, my aunts death.
• Treated my mother like a criminal for their mistake, she’s an OAP for Christ sakes.
• Can’t even get their bin men in order but still charge my mother an incredible amount of council tax.
• I needed help from their job centre, but instead got sod all but I’m sure if I’d come from another country I could have had help. All those years of them money grabbing
• DVLA threatening legal action for a vehicle which I’d had sorn with them and later informed them was written off which my insurance company also notified them of. They harassed me for months despite me telling them the numerous times again.
• The list could go on, but for now this will do

We’ve then got the used car salesman, David Cameron. Honestly I think I’d struggle to buy a car from him he just gives off these vibes that he’s after a good commission this month.

BNP, well you know I was considering having a look at what they stand for and today we got a leaflet through the door so I had a quick read. The way I read it is they want to rip our troops out of other countries which could be a devastation not just for use for those countries we’ve gone into but also for ourselves. We need to fix the problems we’ve helped create there and we still need to fight terrorism, if we just pick up and leave places like Afghanistan then we might as well throw them back into chaos and give them some weapons to come get us with afterwards.

The bombings we’ve endured in this country hurt people who didn’t choose to fight in this war, it killed people who were just living their life and if we continued to do nothing they would still continue to come at us. The world is our oyster and we live in it so we have a duty to care for it and not just ourselves because if don’t then when all hell breaks loose we will then be dragged in to it.

BNP also don’t believe in climate change, well regardless of their belief the things we do which scientist claim contribute to climate change are still ruining our world and how we live. Coal, Gas and oil won’t last for ever, landfill sites will still be a mess and will still give of methane. The gases thrown into the Earth’s air will still be poisonous and waste from nuclear power plants still can’t be disposed of easily.

And the other parties……… Well if I’m honest I don’t really understand what they are proposing or what they stand for but I guess I should give them some consideration.

OK after careful consideration I think we should line them all up, blindfold some voters, maybe all of them and give them a paint ball gun who ever gets hit the fewest is in. lol

Maybe not?

Disgusting if you ask me!

They made the excuse of “that’s how the bin comes off the truck” so they can just toss it over to one side.

That’s OK though because next week I’ll be doing the exact same thing, only difference is the bin will be heavier due to the rubbish being in it and I’ll continue to do this for a long time to come, oh joy, what fun!

Really Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men – Part Three

Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men – Part Two

Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men

Looks like I’m spending yet again more quality time on the phone complaining to the council again this week. They most certainly won’t be getting any tip this Christmas unless the tip is “Do you job properly” and they want lessons on how be a refuge collection person.

Part one and two:

Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men – Part Two

Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men

They’ve just been, emptied the bin and lodged the handles in the hedge again this week. It wasn’t as bad as previous weeks because I could this time get one handle.

Dumbbin men – A hedge full of bin

On the plus side, the bin was placed next to our drive this time and not down the road!

Oh well I suppose I should start putting the bin out the same way they bring it back!

 Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men – PartOne – Should you wish to read.

Recently we heard news about one council in Somerset I think, which has stated that a dustbin must not have it’s wheels even an inch on gravel incase our employee’s stumble and fall, yeah I know ridiculous.

Well please tell our dustmen to stop leaving our bin three mile down the bloody road, OK an over exageration but my mother lives here also, could you imagine if she had to go get the bin, a 72 year old woman being forced to walk down the street to get her bin, because some dustmen can’t simply leave it where it was put.

When they don’t leave it down the street, it’s been known on a couple of occasions to block the driveway so when I come home I can’t get the car straight in.

I have respect for people that do jobs like this, it’s hard, you’ve got to endure all weathers and it’s not the cleanest of jobs but it’s the small things that matter especially with Christmas tip season coming.

PS we don’t recycle as much now, it all goes in the Black bin now!

So they sifted through our rubbish which I’d already tipped all over the back garden, they pointed out most of what we recycled actually couldn’t be recycled by them and would either have to go in the black bin or taken to the recycling center up the road from us.

I then asked about better education of what we can and can’t throw in these bins. The young chap then handed me a brown envelope some moments later which contained information we’d already seen before.

I then raised the point about why some months ago rubbish was taken from our black bin and left. I was told that the refuge collectors should of left reasons why which they didn’t. But I was informed I should either continue to stick this waste in the black bin or take it to the recycling center. Well actually it’s not a recycling center as such, we always call it a dump or a tip. Whether they recycle not is another question.

In the envelope they gave me there was a letter which stated something about a ‘Zero waste strategy’ that they currently have under way.  I find it hard to believe they mean that or even try to meet that goal!

Out of the things we buy from the super market we can not recycle the following in our green bin, despite them taking this rubbish for many years, fresh juice cartons, thin pizza boxes (Not fresh pizza) and quite a lot of other food packaging (Non-contact) which they’d always taken previously.

I’ve calmed down a lot since my first blog this morning on the matter, but I’m still annoyed about all this. I said that if I’m to personally take cardboard and other items to the dump, could I at least request another green bin for storing the rubbish until I take it. They refused and said I could buy a bin from B&Q.

No if they had said something when they didn’t collect the first time two weeks ago then we could of taken measures to ensure they did this week and the next time they take rubbish out of our black bin and leave it in our driveway, I’ll complain again because if it can’t go in either bin then where can it go.

A few months ago the dustbin men where throwing cardboard out of our black bins and leaving them in our garden after instructing us it couldn’t go in our green bins, for those not aware, black bins are for general waste things they consider not recyclable and green bins are for thin cardboard, grass cuttings and such. Now I always thought cardboard could be recyclable but they are the law so we respected this.

Well because they wouldn’t take it in the black bins, we started to put it back in the green bins and they took it hapilly. Well until two weeks ago when our bin wasn’t taken at all with no reason why. We left it and waited until this week and they plonked a big red sticker on our bin with the following information:

“Sorry, we could not empty your bin today as it contains thick or corrugated cardboard.

Please remove this and your bin will be emptied next time

Thank you

For further information and advice on how to reduce, reuse and recycle your rubbish please contact Doncaster Council on 01302 736000

www.doncaster.gov.uk”

So now we have a full loaded bin. The thing to remember is the wife and I live at home and with my mum to take care of any of her needs, medication, driving to appointments, etc. And she’s 72, now what if I was away somewhere with the wife, how the hell do Doncaster Council expect an old aged pensioner to manage, they still expect the expensive council tax which pays for this inadequate service, without doing the work that comes with it.

So put cardboard in the black bin and it’s removed, but put it in the green bin and they refuse to take it. This in my mind means the Doncaster Council is promoting fly tipping because right at this moment in time I’ve just emptied the bin behind my garage because there is no where else for all this rubbish and we can’t wait another two weeks for them to come again.

They either need to take the rubbish or stop charging extortionate council tax which covers this service. If they expect the public to do their job for them and sort through the rubbish then they should better educate the public on what’s required and then pay part of their wage to us.  Over the years, the public has done more and more of the councils work for them yet we pay more and more for them.

I called their number and was rather annoyed, admittedly I swore once to which the young chap on the other end told me he would end the call. I told him that not only did they not take the rubbish, a big stick was placed in the bin that wasn’t their before, he must of thought I meant sticker because he kept changing my words to sticker. He informs me someone will come out to inspect our rubbish. He also accused my of swearing a second time which I didn’t.

Well to be quite frank, this is not enough. We do our bit for the environment, we use reuse bags for shopping, we’re not wasteful with food and try to keep packaging of our foods to a minimum, we only use the car when needed for example picking the wife up from work on late nights because we don’t trust the streets, or the taxi’s. The rest of the time she will use public transport. Our gardening waste goes back into the ground and isn’t wastefully burnt.

Maybe we shouldn’t care for our environment with such idiots running the country, their only ruining it anyway so why not speed the process up.

So once we get rats and disease in our back garden I wonder where Doncaster Council would want us to fly tip next?

We do our bit and they spit in our face!

The robbing council (local government), legally stole something like £200 from a British national after they cut back general waste collections from weekly to fortnightly. As if they didn’t already thieve enough from hard working British nationals to fund their expensive life styles and second homes.

It makes me sick, these people are empowered to work for us, to protect us, and they are funded by us.

And they got away with it, they originally fined this guy something like £100 (approx), then took him to court for not paying.

So here is my new slogan for the government

“Promoting fly tipping and robbing from the poor to give to the rich since empowerment”.

There like a backwards version of Robin Hood, in fact backwards is probably a nice way to put it.

For some reason our bin didn’t get emptied last week, ours is now over flowing.

I agree in part is up to us, the British public to deal with our waste and recycle, but if we are already paying a high price in the guise of house tax and other stealth taxes to cover these things, then we shouldn’t be made to pay more due to the incompetence of the government.

Give yourselves a pay cut you lazy arse twats, and give that money back to the public where it should belong. I’m not talking about the lower level management so much here, more those whom spend our money recklessly and then want to hide it shamelessly. Mind you it was probably the lower level management that forced this fine.
