Someone emailed me this:

After Labour's mauling in the local elections, Gordon Brown announced that
the
hated plans for pay-as-you throw rubbish taxes would be scrapped.
That was a blatant lie and he knew it. Within days it became clear that
'trials' would still be going ahead. Why bother piloting something which you
have no intention of introducing?
Far from dropping the scheme, Labour is ploughing on despite the trivial
matter of what the electorate thinks.
That's because ministers are obediently implementing orders from our real
government in Brussels. Gordon couldn't stop pay-as-you-throw taxes even if he
wanted to, which he doesn't. He was the one who cranked up landfill taxes in
his last ‘green’ budget to meet EU recycling targets, which is why councils
are cutting back on collections in the first place.
All is revealed in European directive 75/442/EEC on waste disposal. In
answer to a
parliamentary question from the Tories, ministers have been forced to admit
that the
following rules laid down m EU hand book entitled 'Variable Rate Pricing
based on
Pay As You Throw as a Tool of Urban Waste Management’.
This ‘toolkit' lays down the blueprint for every household for the amount of
rubbish it generates.
It has been produced by the Dresden Technology, which was commissioned by
the EU under the 'Fifth European Commission Framework Programme'.
The Eurocrats admit bin charges are a 'politically sensitive issue', and
warn of' ‘uncertain and perhaps uncontrollable citizens' response’. But the
handbook stresses 'this lack of consensus should not be allowed to intimidate
us into avoiding innovation'.
They acknowledge that higher charges, tougher rules and fortnightly
col1ections will be
unpopular and will lead to an increase in littering, fly-tipping and dumping
of waste in in other people’s bins and recycling containers. To combat this,
it urges the 'disciplining of citizens' by 'intensive observation of illegal
waste disposal through patrol and special task forces'.
Councils should set up a 'police department' to sift through rubbish to
search for the addresses of 'offenders' in discarded mail, and issue fines of up
to £400.
All those stories about people being punished for leaving the lid of their
bin open, putting out the ‘wrong' kind of rubbish or dropping an old gas bill
in a public litter bin can be traced back to this sinister document. They
weren't isolated incidents, or the result of over-zealous enforcement by
bloody-minded local offcials - they were part of the great masterplan.
Thought those reports of some councils installing microchips in wheelie bins
was localised madness? Think again. It's all outlined in this handbook. The
eventual aim is for every dustbin to have an 'individual identification
code' using either 'transponder chips or barcodes'.
Dustcarts will be fitted with tracking devices, which explains that story a
couple of weeks ago about York City Council’s spending £40,000 fitting
sat-nav systems to all its refuse lorries, complete with maps of the whole of
Europe. At the time we assumed it was just wasting taxpayers' money. Now we know
that it was simply York getting ahead of the curve.
It also explains why all those people who ejected their local councillors in
last year's Town Hall elections in the naive belief that they would get
their weekly collections reinstated have discovered that their votes didn't make
the slightest bit of difference.
Local democracy - or democracy of any kind, come to that - has no place in
Brave New Europe.
The recycling rules were designed to accommodate the Low Countries, which
have run out of land fill sites. But nowhere are they being more rigidly
applied than in Britain.
On the back of this directive, our government has introduced a draconian
rubbish collection regime, designed to bully, fine and tax hard-pressed
householders. All those of us who sort our bottles and newspapers into separate boxes
under the illusion that we are doing our bit to save the polar bears are
wasting our time.
A few months ago, I wrote about watching dustmen in the London Borough of
Camden throwing all the carefully recycled rubbish into the same box as
household waste and then chucking it onto their cart in one huge pile.
Now it has been revealed that the amount of domestic rubbish recycled by
Camden in Britain is precisely nothing. Every last magazine, wine bottle and
plastic container is dumped into containers and shipped to the Far East for
recycling. And Camden is just the tip of the waste mountain.
In the name of protecting the planet, we are transporting our rubbish
thousands of miles away to the other side of the world. It doesn't get much more
environmentally friendly than that.
Of course, that won't stop Camden, or any other council, rigorously
enforcing 'Variable Rate Pricing based on Pay As You Throw as a Tool of Urban Waste
Management',
as laid out in European directive 75/442/EEC.
Taxing and fining people and refusing to empty the dustbins every week isn't
about 'climate change' or 'global warming'.
It's just another manifestation of our Punishment Culture, about showing us
who’s boss.
This is how Britain is now governed, through rules drawn up by German
academics , at the behest of unelected bureaucrats in Belgium, and enforced by
single issue lunatics hired out of the jobs pages of The Guardian.
It's been going on for years, but in signing the European Constitution
without a referendum, Gordon Brown consigned to the landfill site the last
vestiges of our ability to govern ourself.
We no longer even have any say over how often our dustbins are emptied. The
sooner Labour is thrown in the wheelie bin, the better. Now, I would pay good
money for that.
