Pensioner, 95, threatened with legal action after putting butter tub in wrong recycling bag. . . .
According to Steve Doughty at dailymail.co.uk:
A grandmother aged 95 was threatened with prosecution after putting a plastic butter tub in the wrong recycling bag.
Relatives of the woman say she was left horrified by the 'scary' legal notice, which they claim could have triggered a heart attack.
Her granddaughter, Karen Walters, 42, said: 'It is scary and ridiculous - she is a really law-abiding citizen. If she had seen the warning, she would have had a heart attack.
'But luckily her son spotted it before she saw it. The fact is that a 95-year-old was threatened with prosecution. She was horrified when she was told about it.'
The threat came from a town hall which provides its residents with no fewer than seven recycling bins and a complex set of 'rubbish rules' they must follow. . . .

Another example of the inmates running the asylum. In the past years of Labour's unwarrented intrusion into the everyday lives of ordinary decent people, this stupidity as reached the point where it now has to stop. Most of the problem seems to be with the "little helpers" who are ever willing to carry out the instructions of their masters. The man who stuck the notice on the bin didn't have to, he could just as easily transferred the offending carton to the correct container. No doubt he felt he had to exersise 'his authority' and earn a few points. What a sad society we have become when a public servant thinks it is more appropriate to offend than please the people he is paid to serve

They start this crap here in the US and I'll end of being a hoarder and just pile it high. . . .Can you imagine trying to figure out what trash goes in which of 9 different bins? Heck we're lucky to even get the trash out to the curb.
These leftist loons will not be happy until life as we know it ceases to exist. We will be taxed and regulated from everything we eat to everything we do.
