Free recycling to local authority schools in Reading is a semantic play as it stands. It relies on funding by either the Council Tax payer or the value of materials sent to reprocessors or both.
Firstly, why should we fund the alleged recycling in schools by Reading Borough Council who has already been caught out reporting fake/exaggerated recycling statistics when they were really landfilling the vast majority of collected ‘red bin recycling waste’ from the domestic sector.
RBC switched to a fleet of gas powered dustcarts for an outrageous amount of money and then found that they couldn’t be towed back when they frequently broke down which cost us more money in maintenance than a ‘normal’ municipal waste collection vehicle – that’s bad management.
Secondly, the resale value of segregated recyclables, apart from clothes, would never fund the collection of them in today’s commodity markets.
Reading Borough Council should not be automatically given the ‘Contract’ to operate ‘free’ recycling services anywhere – it’s not possible, and if it was it wouldn’t be by RBC which is currently run by incompetents in my opinon.
“I will not waiver, I will not walk away”
I don’t credit Gordon Brown with the ability to rebuild the Labour Party or our broken economy yet I cringe when I see him booed in France and repeatedly stabbed in the back by his alleged colleagues.
I never thought I’d write this but I actually feel sorry for the man. The crap in the Labour Party (most of them) already caught with their own fat red snouts in the trough clearly think that shitting on this leader, like they did to the last one will somehow deflect the publics anger away from them – it won’t.
Don’t go Gordon; give us our day in May 2010 when the country will return a Conservative Government to power. Not a perfect solution, but not a Labour cess pit – that’s progress.

A couple of wrinklies have won £25 Million on the Euro Lottery saying that it's not going to change their lives.
Silly bastards, make them give it back.

Rainy winters snug by the fire, sunny hot summers like Spain growing olives, grapes, lemons and limes; this is climate change - don't listen to them - they're talking bollocks.

Harman tells reporters: Like every sturdy knocker, this Country needs a knob and Gordon's the best man for the job.
WELL DONE PIERRE
A big thank you to Pierre, Jean Paul, Luc and Marco, the four Froggie fishermen for starving Britain of goods over the last few days - that's not 'French' at all is it?
