May is probably thinking of a way she can do it to our British kids.

She’s already overseen the deportation of British citizens. Kids is cages is nothing to that evil old witch.

She probably roasts them in her gingerbread house.

And forces her husband to carry the charred remains out. After all, that is a boys job.

They bury them out in their many acres of land. I hear charred remains are great for encouraging the wheat to grow to just the right height and strength for running through.

Cheers DD, always nice to get the approval of such a classy gent as yourself.

In other news I've had a nice automated reply to email to Alex Chalk MP. As well as referring to himself in the third person several times he also uses 3 different colours of text and alternates, seemingly at random, between plain, bold and italic text.

It's like looking at a HTML web page circa 1996.

[satriales]

On PMQs May has just described the children as being detained in 'what appears to be cages'. She is an absolute utter strawberry floating banana split.

I liked her stuttering as she talked about the case of the kid with epilepsy that needed cannabis oil. She almost said that the boy has now got his 'medicine' and then quickly realised that she can't say cannabis is a medicine and tried to think of another term.

In more good news, the EU has passed Article 13

This can't be as bad as those tweets suggest, surely? That would mean the end of the internet as we know it, due to a vote that was barely publicised. It sounds like SOMA x 10000 and no one seems to have given it any thought at all in the run-up...

EDIT: Gizmodo has a good primer and... yeah it's pretty bad.

At a time when the EU should be trying to cultivating their image sensitively, this really doesn't go over well.

[Grumpy David]

He originally didn't see anything wrong with his tweet saying it was just a joke before feeling the pressure and deleting both tweets and replacing with:

twitter.com/bbcpress/status/1009403972187250688

Criticising Corbyn Labour for Anti Semitism is a lot less effective when tweeting a racist joke like that.

[KK]

Cameron proving himself to be right again; too many tweets do make a twat.

It's not a firing offence, but Sugar has been getting into these stupid Twitter spats more and more recently. Spelling and grammar is usually all over the show as well (which is not uncommon for self made millionaires - Alan Sugar, Donald Trump, Vince McMahon and Duncan Bannatyne all notoriously piss poor with English).

I think The Apprentice has only got one more series in it anyway, at least with him.

[Blue Eyes]

I think he should be investigated for this. It was a racist joke and I’d be delighted to see him get fired for it.

Duncan Bannatyne is dyslexic he left school with two GCSE's, I think Vince McMahon is as well.

EDIT: so is Alan Sugar.

Yeah it needs a change up with someone else, Peter Jones maybe.

she is such an evil little gooseberry fool

[KK]

My Labour council have lost the plot. They've sent a letter to everyone saying they're changing the recycling scheme. So rather than the current system (4 bins consisting of 1 large for general waste, 2 boxes for recycling, and 1 smaller box for food waste) they're giving everyone 3 big bins - repurposing the one that was used for general waste for plastics - and 1 small for food waste. 4 bins outside people's homes, many of which are flats. These strawberry floating idiots. This is London, there's barely any front garden space as it is.

What an epic waste of money, all because they want to get recycling up from 40 to 50%. Cut other services but they've miraculously got money to spend on this gooseberry fool. The bins were only replaced 5 years ago!

Complain about lack of affordable housing > continue signing off on big build skyscrapers with barely any 'affordable' £250,000 housing in them.

[captain red dog]

The current tactic they have to encourage recycling needs a massive overhaul. In my area we have two bins, two bags and two boxes.

Of the two bins, one is for general waste and is the smaller of the two. The other bin is for grass cuttings and garden waste but costs £36 a year. We have one bag for plastics and tin, and another one for cardboard. Then we have a box for glass, paper and clothes and small electrical items. Then we have another box for food waste.

The general waste bin gets collected once a fortnight. Everything else is collected weekly, except the green waste bin which only gets collected if you pay the fee. We can use the local tip, but they reduced the opening hours so that most people can only use it during the weekend, where it is absolute bedlam and hour long queues and gridlocks the local area.

Its an absolute disaster. I religiously recycle absolutely everything I can, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of residents can't be arsed with the whole thing. On a weekly basis you get plastic and glass strewn over the street where either the binmen drop it, or it's poorly secured overnight and is either blown around by the wind or foxes and cats have their fun.

I'm pretty environmentally conscious, always recycle, have a hybrid car and cycle commute as much as I can, but honestly it makes me look back fondly to the days when you just had one bloody bin per household!

[Rex Kramer]

We have 3 bins in our area, black for non-recyc, a glass bin and green for recyclables. These get collected on alternate weeks, glass is monthly. Then you can pay 35ish for a garden waste bin. I think this works quite well but I'd imagine there's extra cost/steps to sort the mixed recycling. Doesn't seem any indication they'll introduce something for food waste.

[KK]

I bung my dustmen £10 to take garden waste. My council wanted £61 a year, another stitch up job.
