@floppy so it's not *completely* fictional but it's entirely theoretical and hence made a bullet item that appeared to 99% of the voting public utterly nonsensical, and still — in comms terms — appears nonsensical even after reading this

@rgarner yes. Like many myths it has a tiny kernel of fact deep down inside.

@SirEel and it seems like that really referred to "waste streams" not bins, so in my area, I think four of those streams already go in the same bin. Which seems an ideal solution.

@Floppy Down here in Pembrokeshire, we have 6 bins - paper, cardboard, glass, cans and hard plastics, food waste, non-recyclable. Non-recyclables only get picked up every 3 weeks, 3 bags max. And you know what? It's not a fucking problem.

I just don't understand why it's still controversial. It's makes no sense. There's entire generations - which Sunak is a part of - for which this is an entirely normal thing that everybody does and he unveils like it's some kind of bold epiphany. Wtf?

@jezhiggins @Floppy well he and his useless colleagues can't actually sort anything important so they have to bring up this bullshit

@Darkedge @Floppy It's worse than a fucking school playground. This is where the Tories continued and increasingly rapid intellectual impovorishment has left us - claiming to be making "the hard choices" by shadowboxing with imaginary problems while letting the real issues just fucking slide and slide and slide. Bunch of cunts. All of them.

@jezhiggins @Floppy in my darker moments I do wish quite extreme harm on them and all their mates & hideous corrupt cronies.
