Families who overfill rubbish bins are to face bigger fines than those imposed on drunks or shoplifters, the government has told local authorities.
New guidance instructs councils to impose fixed penalties of “not less than £75” and up to £110 in what the opposition has attacked as a “new stealth tax”.
The offences for which householders can be fined include leaving ajar the lid of a wheelie bin, putting out a bin the evening before collection or leaving the bin in the wrong place.
Although the government has previously claimed that it leaves local councils to decide on the level of fines, the Fly-capture Enforcement manual, produced by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, stipulates that fixed penalties for offences involving “waste receptacles” must range from £75 to £110.

So, which local party manifesto promised this shower of punishments? First they ruin the rubbish collection that we had and worked for decades, making it a fornightly collection for many, then they hand out the beatings.
So what if someone else puts rubbish in your bin. So what if you are away the next day, so have to put it out early, or risk it getting overfull.
These bastards are making us jump through hoops, then charging us for the pleasure.
Can people now also see that people "banging on about Europe" had a bloody good reason too? All of these quangos and agencies are driven from the centre and when I say centre I mean Brussels (who in turn take their orders from the real power influences). This sham of local elections, where three almost identical parties all come out, attacking each other and promising nothing, is laid bare.
We are living in centralised dictatorship, where the people's wishes are not taken into account. That wouldn't be so bad if the dictator was benevolent and left us to get on with out lives, as longs as we hurt no one, but this simply isn't the case. This force wants us to have less money, less freedom and less choice. They want a bunch of battery farm workers, who will just do as they are told, shut up and not use too much of THEIR resources. Yes, they see this planet as theirs and we are nothing more than worker drones to them.
One day, technology will render people obsolete for the purpose of work. What will this rich, powerful elite have in store of us then, when all of our uses are finally gone?
I shudder to think. How about we don't give them all the tools to make it as efficient as possible? That means we start demanding our freedom back and tell them to do one, when they demand our money, ID biometrics and compliance for every little fascist order that they give.
