Do you really think anyone could be arsed? I don’t to be honest and they should call that woman to provide proof as I strongly doubt that it’s happening at all. If it was happening you’d have seen phone clips on Facebook by now. It sounds like she’s making it up to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I simply don’t like people deciding what can or can’t be discussed and the constant accusations that anyone who doesn’t subscribe to anyone else’s view is in some way mental.

I also think she's over-egging it because "wah wah abuse" is the new way of shutting down a discussion.

Bit gutted Josem didn’t manage to get Amadeus’ name in though. I asked an AI to write a weirdly libertarian poem about bin collections. It's better than the above. Quote The bins, they come and go A man's right to choose, you know No one should dictate what's thrown away It's not the state's job to say Your trash is your own, keep it secure No one else should decide what you do with it, for sure For liberty and freedom for all The right to manage your own trash is a great call We should all be able to choose What we throw away, and when we do No one should make the decision for you What goes in the bin and what you'll do It's a matter of choice and of autonomy So keep your bins and your rubbish in liberty! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really not time that Douglas Borough Council recognized the groundswell of public opinion against this reduction in the refuse collection service. Its clearly not just a few malcontents protesting. The implications of this change are clear. Rubbish left out on the streets, Civil amenity sites having to close due to lack of capacity. Post Christmas the countryside may be awash with Amazon cardboard parcels. Can they not just say “ sorry we got it wrong, we will revert back to the way it was” And those who feel they only need fortnightly collections can do their bit by only putting their bins out only fortnightly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The DBC are reducing a service which ratepayers have already paid for this is the point in question. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point. Current years rates already paid for. Maybe DBC should stop wasting money on as much as they do so they don't have to punish ratepayers for their overspend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Can we set up a petition for a last man standing fight to the death between Frank and Josem? My money is on Frank to win, unless Josem talks him to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
