Recycling? What a load of rubbish!
3:01pm Tuesday 27th November 2007
BIG Brother's not only on our telly, but also looking through our bins.
Let's face it, recycling is a waste of time and effort. Yet the green police would have you believe otherwise.
Global warming, they cry! The icebergs are melting! We need to reduce our carbon footprint (God knows how much someone was paid to come up with that latest buzzword') now !
However, have you ever thought that, yes although the planet is getting warming, it may not have anything to do with man, it's just Mother Nature and it's something that Mother Nature has a hand in every few thousand years.
It's actually been proven that more CO2 gas is produced by cows' backsides than by any Range Rover, although why anyone feels they need one to ferry the kids to school in one is beyond me!
However, coming back to recycling, what really annoys me is that we fought World War II against facists, but now it seems the council have turned into the same thing we fought against.
How dare they tell us what we can and can't throw away, we pay council tax for them to do a service, which we should have a say in and not feel like we are being spied on by the waste police, many of whom I'm sure would love to have little skulls on their uniforms!
Do you agree? Post your comments below.
Watch this space, The Black Bin Bag will return next week for his weekly anti recycling rant.

Seeing Fairtrade in action
A few days ago I went on the hunt for a sugar plantation, with Sue, a retired nurse from Britain who is over in Malawi doing six months’ voluntary work. She is based several hours’ north of us, in Salima, helping local nurses caring for and visiting people who are dying. At home Sue buys all her sugar from the charity Traidcraft – so we were looking for the co-operative who their white sugar.
