So they'll take vehicles in working condition and crush them. Not sell them and donate profits to the LA so they can fund cleaning up after fly-tippers. Not give them to charities or good causes. No, they'll "crush" them.
Sums them up - choosing destruction over helping the community, every time
We had a meeting with the local council who wanted a website to publicise new charges for using the recycling centre. Supposedly to discourage building waste 🤦♂️
“People will just fly tip” I explained.
“I wouldn’t” the council member countered. That was the entirety of their research
Well, perhaps if it was made easier to dispose of rubbish lawfully, there'd be less fly tipping???
My sister lives in England, and says only council tax payers can use the tip, u have to book online, show yr passport and a current official letter on artival!!!
I don't know where your sister lives but that is certainly not generally true for England, not heard of anywhere where it is.
Our council tip has no restrictions/checks on visitors, turn up drive in/drive out without being asked for anything. Do have to pay if you are in a vehicle bigger than a car.
I'm genuinely glad to hear that not all England's municipalities have taken leave of their senses 🙂
I have family in Newcastle, too, and it's book online + show official ID + a recent utility bill there, too.
...I know I'm sounding a tad obsessive, as it's really not my problem. But, as a doc, I seriously wonder how ppl who are sick, disabled or just carless, can clear out non-everyday rubbish?
In Lancashire one only needs to book online if using a van or big trailer.
I am shocked at the access policies you describe, was not aware of such before.
TBH I don't see the point. Is it likely that numbers of people will come from out of county to use the tip?
Not 'new tech'! Using that means they have to be the best government at this because others weren't able to use it. Hopefully there won't be newer tech when Reform are in or Labour are going to look pretty ineffective
When you are an empty shell of a human being and have nothing to say of any good to the people of the UK, this is what you post. Starmer is a ghoul. He is like a creepy uncle at a children's party.
For this to work the entire country would need to be under permanent surveillance. Which would probably be an attractive proposition to the people suggesting this but neither practical in reality or desirable for the rest of us.
Alice’s Restaurant, except this time the judge actually does look at the glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, explaining what each one was, and then the cops crush the VW Microbus.
How do we encourage people to take their shit to the tip? I dunno, destroy the van they’d use to take stuff to the tip? That’ll definitely discourage people from dumping stuff on the street.
Just think about the years of easily avoidable bullshit and destruction that Britain could easily have escaped, if the highest and most urgent priority in politics was not ensuring that people like this permanently retain their status and clout.
Seems a bit lightweight to me. I'd have a lot more respect for him if the drones themselves could do the crushing. Sure, they might make the odd mistake, but anybody in the vicinity of a dumped car is probably dodgy anyway.
Who the fuck is going to be piloting those drones. We have some of the highest rates of CCTV cameras in the world… but unless you pay someone to search for incidents to get evidence then they are of little use. Or will AI be issuing fines now?
Fly tipping is the behaviour of absolute cretins, however using it as the Trojan Horse to usher in dystopian AI surveillance of the entire population is a bit much
Probably a bluff but the intention is horrific here.
It is, there is an alley behind our place which is used for fly-tipping. There is a camera covering the one place you can park to unload stuff. While the council are good at responding I found out… zero fines issued.
Britain is a police state but can only afford 1 guy to watch all the screens.

Or we could just fund councils better and improve waste collection and recycling facilities.
*Looks at Birmingham*
Oh, I guess we can't.
Screw the refuse workers and drone snipe the rest of us it is then.

Curious as to where you are?

The sort of trivial thing Farage would beat up about. You forgot to drop heavy hints that the fly-tippers are from North Africa.
How fast can we get then to a National Trust property?
Well done, lads.
