More News From The Place Where England Used to Be

From the Daily Express:

Rushmoor Borough Council: Hey residents, we're going to go ahead and pick up your trash cans every other week, mmmkay?

Residents: Bite us.

RBC: Okay, we're going to just charge the taxpayers a million and a half dollars to buy you trash cans that are half as big so you can only put out the same amount of trash anyway LOLz

Residents: Sucks to be subjects.





Hold on there.

See, here in 'murica we don't have a problem like this. The private company (UK readers take note: NOT a governmental agency) that I choose to pay cash money to, comes twice a week. Yes, twice a week. Not a month, a week. To take out a trash bin that I could put my entire immediate family into. Do we have to take out our garden rubbish waste leaves, egg shells, etc.?

We do NOT.

You know what we call this in a free country with market-based economic activity widely permitted by the Government?



Normal.





What happened to you, England?
