By ’slop bucket’ they mean food waste bin, right? Which is like a normal bin, but without everyday household detritus mingling with coffee grounds and banana skins and being all disgusting and attractive to rats? Hope I’m wrong.
Yes, and then they end up in Spain or the south of France, buying up properties, lording it over the locals with their patronising, arrogant attitudes, demanding golf courses and generally making no effort whatsoever to integrate…..and then they complain about foreigners coming to Britain and ‘destroying the British way’. Welcome to Planet Daily Mail – an irony free zone.
Bit of a slam dunk of a front page there. Poshos having sex, outrage over bins then some stunningly hypocritical basking in the Beeb’s reflected glory.
I’m always amazed at the DM-readers response to recycling initiatives – I live in South Wales and my council has been doing things like wheelie bins, food waste bins, fortnightly black bin collections, fines for putting bins out early etc for quite a while. We all cope perfectly well and civilisation is far from collapsing just because we empty our rubbish into colour-coded bins. It seems to me that a) English councils are really far behind when it comes to recycling initiatives compared to Wales and b) that DM readers are gullible idiots who truly believe that any change to their usual routines marks the beginning of Armageddon.
Remarkable angling on further reading, “The nationwide scheme will mean that households will be forced to have a separate slop bucket – or kitchen caddy as Whitehall prefers to call them.” So it’s Whitehall who is rebranding the waste bin, eh?
Oh dear, is the Fail trying to rekindle the wheelie bin scandal? I live in a Conservative controlled borough and we have had the food bins from the begining of this year. The main bins are great, thanks to the way the handle on the main bin is made it locks down and is vermin proof. No foxes opening the bins to get at the food!
DM readers should be allowed to keep their rubbish. How dare the government take away what is rightfully the private possessions of hard-working people who want to leave their egg shells and potato peelings to their children?
I’m with Mr United Kingdom up there, in that I live in a Tory town (sigh) and we’ve had the separate bins for ages. A bin for food, a bin for paper, a bin for plastic, a bin for garden waste. And, surprisingly, society around these parts hasn’t yet collapsed under the Nanny Stateness of it all.
The councli at home does not do this, but we have this in the office but it’s somewhat confusing eg. the plastic recycling bin doesn’t allow margerine tubs or yoghurt pots, which are plastic but not, apparently, the right sort of plastic, and the paper ones allow white paper but not brown paper – all the brown (or any other colour) paper must go into general waste.
If we were to have such a bin I’d want a good guide on exactly what goes where.. especially if they’re proposing fines (’is that a brown envelope I see? That’ll be £50 fine’). Also preferably a nice neat muti-comparment bin rather than filling my kitchen with about half a dozen swingbins..
How much of the HARDWORKING MAIL SUBSCRIBERS’ MONEY is going towards the LOONEY LEFTY BBC to carry that DVD promotion all this week?

Agree with @Jswindle … spectacularly emotive language for putting food waste in a separate bin to other waste.
The usual Mail reading whingers are threatening to leave the country over this sensible bit of recycling.
Makes me ashamed to be English!

Oh the irony
free DVD about the amazing events in nature from a paper the continues to decry any initiative designed to reduce human impact on nature!
Wankers

You couldn’t make it up.
I thought this was two free offers at first.
I thought use of the word “Romp” died last century, but I guess in Mail land it is still 1930 – Come on the blackshirts!

Somewhere to put used copies of the Daily Mail?
No thats the shit bucket!
Maybe they can offer a “slop bucket” for every reader as a promotional gimmick.
Seriously, the paper is demented. It seems to imply that we are prisoners in our own homes.

A slop bucket and a ripped up Daily Mail in squares on the adjacent nail, sorted!

Not directly related, but the Mail’s hatred of J. Ross is remarkable. And very sloppy.
