If the only thing you have to moan about is a wheelie bin, you should wake up and realise just how bloody cushy your life really is.
On the comments section on the Mail site, there was one particular gem worth sharing, from Paul in Milton Keynes who stated that this is “just the sort of hypocrisy one expects from Kim Jong-Brown”.
And wow isn’t it surprising that the Mail always take the opinion of high court judges when it relates to conservative social values and not anything to do with human rights, zomg!
p.19 A.N.Wilson “Thanks too, modernist architects, for despoiling the South Bank of the Thames … with Detroit style glass towers … Their ideas came from the totalitarian regimes of Eastern Europe …”.
Um, isn’t it just possible that Detroit style towers come from the free market USA?
Arrghhh quick everybody start twittering! Get together in Trafalger Square! If we can get hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets perhaps we can get rid of the menace of wheelie bins!
Only in a deferential class-ridden society like Britain would the views of an upper class thicko like him be taken seriously.
I am looking forward to him becoming king, it will bring the overdue change to a republic ever closer.
Anyway, as the Prince of Wales he should be worrying about Cardiff and not London
The wheelie bin story is to do with Henley, part of Conservative controlled South Oxfordshire, but somehow this little bit of relevant information is omitted. If it were a Labour council ….
I just want to report that the “campaigner” that is the sources of this story is called Doretta Cocks. Sadly, my work internet connection won’t allow me to make such searches, could anyone find out if she is real or not?
Yeah, socialist wheelie bins taking away the look of our traditional British streets.
God give us strength.
Besides, I have 3 of them now (for seperating paper & veg matter & recycling) how dumb would a move back to 1 relatively small but heavy old metal thing be?
One minute they are complaining about overflowing bins, next minute they are complaining about too many bins.
I think the Daily Mail expects middle class families to have a dustman stood permanently outside their house so whenever they generate any rubbish (Daily Mail is delivered, they open their mouths etc) the dustman can collect it immediately and walk it straight to a waiting lorry.
But don’t raise council taxes to pay for it – that it unacceptable.
They can’t make up their mind, can they? Before, they were only whinging about fortnightly bin rounds, now they want wheekie bins outlawed completly. What a stupid idea! Don’t they realize how important wheelie bins are to allow their beloved weekly collections to happen? This ’story’ is complete tosh-I can tell you for a fact that in my village which has quite a lot of Daily Mail readers, we have no problems with wheelie bins and actually want to keep them and have more handed out by the council. I for one think they look quite nice, I wouldn’t describe our one as a monstrosity blighting my garden.
Dai-Sadly, Doretta Cocks is real. When the DM ran a stupid story about how Zanuliebour wanted to ban our garden lawns, she was a ‘campaigner’ then and said we’re all doomed if Brown really wanted to go ahead with it. As someone said on that thread, that name is very apt for her.
Ed-That’s the third time I’ve heard a moronic DM commenter call Brown Kim Jong Brown. They don’t realise how absolutly stupid they look and should come up with a new insulting term instead of constantly re-using old ones. If I heard someone say that, I’d tell them that I’d be suprised if anyone can take them seriously as an adult.
I really do despair. The news paper with the 2nd largest readership in Britain’s headline is people who are angry that wheelie bins are in peoples front gardens. What on earth? Is there no proper news from Iran?
Incidently great to see the Daily Mail readers are all strongly condemning the racist attacks on Romanians in Belfast. Or not. This was the 2nd worst rated post.
“Appalling!! Whatever we think about immigration numbers, the Romanians are, as a whole, with only a few exceptions, one of the hardest working, reliable and honest groups in this country.
As they come from the EU they are liitle cost to the country as the UK reclaim from other EU countries the cost of health care and benefits, if they are given any, from trhe EU country that they originated from under the E-form system.

How anyone could write this after reading the appalling treatment they suffered makes me feel quite sick. massive well done to the local residents (who volunterily kept a constant patrol on the houses to protect them until the families left and bravely organised a antiracism rally which the thugs attacked) and i really pray northern ireland does not see facist paramilitaries take over from sectarian ones.
Daily Mail readers constantly belch out the opinion that the UK is becoming a third world country, but give their newspaper of choice a chance to elaborate and all it can do is moan about sh*tting bins. When there’s just been a ballsed-up election in Iran.
That bloke beneath today’s headline looks like a joyless twonk. If the only thing you’re concerned about is wheelie bins then you should count your lucky stars.
I cannot see all the fuss about wheelie bins. If they hadn’t been invented, we would see streets full of black sacks ripped open by both foxes, cats and rats, making both gardens and streets even dirtier than at present. The real challenge to the Mailites (and the rest of us) is to reduce our food waste and improve our recycling. There are far more important things to be discussed in the world, like the Iraq War inquiry, rising unemployment, swine flu, and so on.
Get. Some. Bloody. Perspective. Whenever our bin (a wheelie one between five people not fortunate enough to own our own homes) doesn’t get emptied one of us takes it’s contents to the tip. Hardly end of the world stuff. and none of us are retired with all the time and the money in the world either!
This is why I like this paper, it covers proper stories. No bloody Iranians kicking of, no shameful (ish) racist thug intimidation in Belfast, just good old fashioned news- about plastic bins. I say good on you DM
I love that 59% of voters on their website think that wheelie bins should not be scrapped. I also love that most of their photos of wheelie bins ‘infecting’ the streets were taken on collection day, when everyone has their bins on display. Ahhh the daily mail… when will you learn?
Seriously, what do they propose as an alternative? A communal bin? The tabloids have already had a whinge about that. Old-style trash cans? What possible practical or aesthetic improvement do they offer besides ‘I’m old, I have to cling desperately to what I remember’? Bin bags? Animals can get into them. Bin men coming round the side to collect the bags? In no way does it compromise your house’s security (leaving gates unlocked), cause extra noise in the mornings or require extra time to walk round and find the fucking thing.
When he says something they agree with he speaks for England; when he says something vaguely liberal (for a Royal anyway), he’s an embarassment to the British monarchy. Ho hum.
Dear lord.
Funny that, I’ve requested one of those from the council and they didn’t want to give me one…

Haven’t they got better things to report on than wheely bins?
I don’t really care about bins.
And wow isn’t it surprising that the Mail always take the opinion of high court judges when it relates to conservative social values and not anything to do with human rights, zomg!
Doesn’t speak for me…
Don’t Care
And isn’t passing the partner a swingers night?
Doesn’t speak for me either. The guy’s a complete arse, and if it weren’t for accident of birth nobody would listen to him.

Never mind all that business in Iran eh, wheelie bins are the real news clearly!

So what are they saying? We should all go back to tin bins like Oscar the Grouch’s? And do our backs in trying to move the buggers?

The half German, half Greek Prince of Wales speaks for England.
The rubbish collection thing is very bad though, and Islamic terrorists are to blame; we are literally bin-laden.

The Daily Mail would be the first thing to go in my wheelie bin, heaven forbid I ever happened to own one.
I can picture it now: “My wheelie bin is blighting my street, I must inform the daily mail immediately!!!” Give me strength….
