The Anarcho-Tyranny of Britain’s Fly-Tipping Rules
Walking through my nearest town centre recently, I observed what should have been the cheering sight of a young man of distinctly non-native appearance commendably and carefully disposing of his litter. Having just finished eating a bag of crisps, he neatly folded the packet up into a thin, straight rectangle – then squatted down on the floor and inserted it vertically down through the gaps in a nearby drain-grid. Gazing up at me and smiling, it was as if he expected to receive some kind of praise for his action.
Lord knows what backwards, godforsaken land the man must have come from to be able to mistake common street-drainage infrastructure for a public trash-can in this fashion, but the ongoing wave of uncontrolled mass migration into the country means he is hardly alone in such errors of cultural confusion. One Times journalist described last year how he encountered an Iranian incomer smoking a cigarette. When he had finished, the Iranian then approached a nearby red postal pillar-box, famous in Britain but evidently not in the Middle East, and innocently attempted to use it as a giant municipal metal ash-tray by discarding his smouldering smokes through the letter-slit. Up in flames go all the postal orders, cheque-payments and birthday cards.

Well done the self regarding elites.
And don’t forget the farmers and other landowners who, between them, end up paying several million pounds a year to cover the costs of illegal waste dumped on their land.
A fridge dumped in your gateway or hedge becomes your problem. And then even though it is a domestic item, you are a business, so you have to pay to take it into the tip.
Just ask farmers who have travellers encampments near them and the nearby waste disposal sites.
Plenty of flytipping, never see a traveller with a licence at the WDS 🤔
Easy targets yes….. tough problems no. That’s how government works at every level.
Given that the intention of government is to effectively destroy this country and turn it into a Turd World shithole, some would argue this has already been achieved, the issue of fly-tipping is one that has to be encouraged.
Waste is waste however it is generated and it never disposes of itself. Serious local government authorities would take pride in keeping their neighbourhoods clean and tidy but instead residents are penalised ie charged simply for attempting to dispose of waste via official recycling centres – as if escalating council taxes are no longer sufficient to pay for this; in effect a taxation increase.
More pointless but deliberate interference in the every day life of the citizens of this country directed by a government that doesn’t give a shit about the country and certainly not its people.
Very recently I was struck with a scary red label on the wheelie bin, it said that the local council is proud of the recycling program and that I had foolishly used the wheelie bin for “recycling” material rather than the boxes.
The red label stated that “everyone is doing their part” and that “we need to pull together to hit recycling targets”. It threatened a £150 on the spot fine if they find what was presumably egg shells in a cardboard box in my bin again.
Laughably though, the pavement around my bin was littered in bits of plastic and tea bags from the bin-men, and across the street empty monster cans, sanitary towel boxes, butter cartons etc lined the curb after collection day, ne’er to be cleaned up by the council.
The question is ‘what is the end point’ At what point do we say, that is enough refinement of recycling and waste management. Stop there.
Is anyone actually making money off cardboard recycling anymore.? Why do we need products double and triple wrapped.? Is there any value in plastics recycling.? Why do I have so many bins, and so many bin wagons coming round to collect them..? When the latest regulations came into force to stop people taking ‘rubbish’ to their ‘rubbish centre’ in vans, every lay-by round our way was full of fridges, mattresses and tyres. Put simply there is a level of tolerance and if you make it too difficult, then people wont do it. Still, I expect somewhere there is an office with a certificate on the wall congratulating them on adhering to the UN 2050 Targets for Sustainability.
The law abiding will always pay fines and are thus easy shake-downs.
The EU Landfill Directive is responsible for fly tipping because councils are fined for the amount of rubbish that is sent to landfill. The Directive was introduced because the Dutch said it was unfair that because their country is effectively underwater they cannot bury their rubbish. Alert readers will have noted that we are no longer in the EU and could have dumped the Directive years ago. Fly tipping is now organised crime with little risk compared to say drugs and has grown in other countries too. In France a local mayor was murdered because he was trying to stop it.
Apparently under this dumb government we are now set to get a third wheelie bin – fourth if you pay for one for your garden waste although you could easily fly tip that – which will mean dividing what currently all goes in the single recycling bin for er….some reason or other that probably makes no sense to a normal person.
One of my kids was persecuted by Reading council because someone found an empty Amazon package with her name on it in a car park
They sent her a fixed penalty notice
She told them to get stuffed
The bloke even came round her flat to check the communal bin
Eventually they backed down
It pays to run a paper shredding machine to avoid giving away unwanted details, like your address or bank account details etc via disposal bins. And if you make compost, shredded paper disappears that way altogether. Worms and bacteria do the job that way!
In open countryside in the Kent National Landscape there are over a dozen dirty decontamination units used for asbestos removal parked at a beauty spot with an Enforcement Notice backed up by an Appeal Decision to remove them. Three years on the Council refuses to do this because the expense of prosecution would not be in the public interest. No, me neither.
And most of our plastic is sent to third world countries to “recycle”.
If you look at the cases where lorries have returned repeatedly to deposit huge amounts of refuse you discover that both councils and police, though told over and over again, commonly do nothing until the tippers have gone.
Why is this do you think? Could it be corrupt police and/or corrupt councils?
What is the purpose of landfill tax? Is it to make legitimate refuse disposal more expensive so that businesses resort to using criminals? With the idea that this creates more opportunities for corruption?
In a similar vein, driving near one of the many new estates in leafy West Sussex last week, I saw a swarthy woman dressed in what I would describe as Roma or Romani garb walking along the pavement. As I passed her in the opposite, she ‘hawked’ and spat a large gob of sputum into the grass verge.
Irrespective of whether she was breaking the law or not, it was the first time I recall seeing a woman spit that way in public in my 70 years on the planet.
Not a big deal in the scheme of things but I wish I hadn’t seen it, yet another reminder of the steady erosion of standards of behaviour thanks to mass immigration.
Apart from the unfottunate victims who left their contact details on the rubbish i would suggest everybody else should have given a middle finger salute and walked away. The council officials do not have powers of arrest!
