That whole comment amused the hell out of me because that’s what’s happening here. I live in South Tyneside and our bin men have been on strike since before Christmas. Nothing to do with the council running out of money, but down to one of the higher ups being a huge workplace bully and the council won’t kick him out.
It’s gotten so bad that there are now several skips dotted all over South Tyneside where people are expected to turn up and dump their overflowing rubbish.
The whole area is turning into one massive tip all because of one asshole the council refuse to do anything about.
that sucks. I was born in Leeds but moved away years ago. Sorry to hear it has got so bad. Maybe occupy Marsden Grotto with have a pint of dog and wait until it all blows over
councils have been bankrupted by successive cuts over the last decade such that its a miracle some can still collect bins.
current government have no interest in causing trouble for their school friends, biggest party donors and future employment prospects.
