That?s a little disingenuous Otta, there have been several fairly strong criticisms of posters like Ron70 who have been clear that they don?t think it?s acceptable.


It seems that some people take more exception to those of us who dont want it and are emphatic about it being out of order and invasive to intrude on to property to rummage through others bins.

I've never seen them in action, wrong poster.

Are you actually asking my advice or trying to be clever? I'm guessing the latter! I've already stated that I wouldn't be happy to sit and watch someone going through my bins (regardless of where they're positioned) and if I put something out that I think might be of value to somebody else it's always accompanied by a piece of paper inviting people to "help yourself". Any more questions?


Ron70

Two woman with a trolley v veolia, I know where my main concern would lie.

At least these woman can be approached directly where veolia, our friendly local

Binmens company has a history of refusing to give information asked.

I think my initial sympathy with the OP was that people were in the front garden/alley/drive. Regardless of the rights or wrongs of bin rummaging (I?m indifferent), I?d be unhappy with people being in my front garden or right outside the door or down the side alley who weren?t there to visit, ring the bell, deliver something etc. I think I?d feel entitled to ask them to ?get off my laaand?.

    • But at the same time those she sought for advice told her, very clearly, she needed to seek specialist advice which she did not do and carried on regardless. So I think the jury is out on whether this was a legitimate mistake or not.
    • Thanks @Sephiroth I was thinking along the same lines (demonisation of Rayner by the media) and came across this article yesterday from Manchester Evening News.  It doesn't excuse her, but the title "Angela Rayner's real offence was being a working class woman in power" is self explanatory. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayners-real-offence-being-32422596 The crossing legs nonsense is particularly telling.
    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
