In a week or two
Surely, the irony could not have been
lost on any Nigerian, a person with a Nigerian heritage or relationship living in
the United Kingdom.
The local elections would take place
in a few days and the issue that is exciting the people and the campaigners is that
of either collecting rubbish weekly or fortnightly.
The weekly collection deals with the
issue of smells and vermin whilst in some way encouraging laxity in recycling and
costing councils fortunes in landfill charges. The fortnightly collections do the
opposite and the people are not happy with having to keep their rubbish for long
periods especially in the heat of the approaching summer. Fair point.
Well, 4
out of 10 councils now do the fortnightly collections and there is a possibility
that the Carbon Nazis would get into the heads of the administrators
forcing them to install electronic chips on the bins (some bins already have them
but have been vandalised) to record dumping and assess charges.
Somehow, someone is not comfortable
with this revolt from the shires and is trying to make this issue become insignificant
- Let's see.
Before I digress, did I see the rubbish
of an election in Nigeria and an election on rubbish about to sweep the United Kingdom?
Such, is the mystery of democracy.
