labour were however brilliant at spending sensible aounts of money and getting great value for money

So you have no argument about the point he makes that the 250mil is just an inefficent way of indulging the selfish attitudes
of people too stupid to separate paper and cardboard?

Sorry, haven't got time...it is really just them trying to give something back after taking so much
although that 'so much' equates I believe to an overall cut in spending of 0.7%

I dont believe it is trying to give something back though
it seems to me a bit of a smoke screen to give that appearence

The point is, it's not a good way of "giving something back"
it's giving council money so that they can pay landfill operators to accept more rubbish, some of which money which then gets recycled to the treasury through landfill taxes.

The knock on effect of this is that less stuff is recycled since it's being put in a landfill, and the UK ends up 1) getting fined by the EU for not meeting it's recycling objectives and 2)it runs out of landfill even quicker. You probably aren't aware but we only have a few years worth of landfill left at the moment.

The more sensible way would be to use that 250mil to provide more incinerators, anaerobic digestors and to encourage sorting at the level of the house because, no matter what that morbidly obese moron says on the news, technology has not evolved to the stage that a machine can magically take a pile of shit and turn it into neat piles of stuff for recycling, at best what happens is a bunch of immigrants spend their days physically pulling this shit out of big heaps and that is not efficient.

I at no point make this claim.
At first Labour were very good but as in all situations where you have exclusive power for a long time the greed got in there.
The Tories however have always been cunts and nothing will sway me from this view...

If you're a lefty, you'd best look at a different party than labour.

So, to choose the rock or the hard place?
They've all proved they are equally useless, so whom to vote for?

Socialist Labour? Green? Veritas?
