For some reason garbage pickup is always like 2 days from becoming a disaster in the UK. Like, it always comes up whenever there's civil unrest or a government funding issue.

Just dump it in the rivers like the days of Empire.

Effort post cos I occasionally cover waste policy. Basically, it’s a devolved matter with a lot of the overarching policy coming from EU directives with England, Scotland and Wales deciding how to implement the requirements differently. NI is a poo poo show in how they do it, but it’s a separate but mirroring system. Wales is widely considered the best in the UK wrt how they handle it, as the Welsh gov set clear policies and targets, with ringfenced funding from the national level. In England, the tories devolution agenda means that it’s up to your local authority, which means all their lovely cuts have seriously hampered England’s waste management. Though they’re currently consulting on a harmonised system.

all the compliance for most environmental regulation is currently done under the auspices of the EU, with them having the ability to bring court cases against member states for not complying. Although, as with air pollution we seem to just keep breaking limits and telling them to gently caress off. The replacement body for the EU won’t be established til like 2022 and it’s already been criticised for not having enough powers. Oh, also if there is a no deal Brexit, the first four months of uk emissions are technically not subject to the emissions trading scheme lol

It’s quite funny cos the uk could just be a dumping ground full of even more poo poo than now post Brexit.

It means freedom from out-of-control regulation that forbid any banana to look different. It means all the tax money that is taken from the common working man who already has nothing and is currently going to out-of-control eurocrat fat cats will return to Britain. It means that British people will finally be able to enact the racially pure ethnostate and secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children. Because the beauty of the White Aryan women must not perish from the earth.

Don't forget that the party is also currently in the process of destroying the country for the gain of *checks notes* keeping brown and eastern european EU citizens from having free movement to the UK.


Wait, uh, what actually happened here? The Eurotunnel took legal action to ensure they could ship medicine to the UK after Brexit, and the idiot in charge of trade deals is mad about it because :confused:

What legal action did they take, and why is he so mad about it?

Grayling awarded contracts to 3 (now 2) ferry companies to deliver supplies including medicines after Brexit not via Dover, secretly without going to tender.
Eurotunnel sued because they had been excluded from the running for no reason at all. Despite having previously run ferry services which is more than Seabourne freight had ever done, and obviously having their non-ferry option.
Rather than let the case proceed, and risk the contracts with the other ferry companies being voided by the courte, they’ve now agreed to settle and pay Eurotunnel compensation plus give them a delivery contract.

Grayling is the idiot in charge of transport not the idiot in charge of trade (that’s Fox). And he’s mad cos this has shown up his incompetence again.
