The Dalai Lama walks into a pizza shop

I don’t like putting up humour clips (it’s more divisive than politics) but this is rather good. From the department of it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time:

Here’s a really easy cut for Suffolk Council to make

Why are there cuts being made to school crossing patrols but Stonewall, a left leaning pressure group, is getting £2,000 a year. I somehow suspect that the County councillor for Bridge Ward will not be taking that case up.

County Councillor Bryony Rudkin works for the Local Government Association which, er, survives on subscriptions from Stonewall. If Suffolk and Ipswich cut that subscription then it would save far more front line services.

Fed up with the Nacton Whiff

I’m just saying. I haven’t had it for a couple of weeks and now it’s overpowering. Like the noise it also seems to be coming from Cliff Quay.

If anyone is also getting it there are two useful numbers:

Environment Agency 0800 807060 (Freephone)
Anglian Water 08457 91 91 55
Ipswich Borough Council Environmental Health 01473 433115

Be aware that they may want to send someone round to your house.

Recycling: Do they live in the real world?

Look East has an article on how Ipswich is going to be asked by the government to choose a street in which they will flatter or bully the residents into recycling more and undoubtedly foist on them more and more bins.

Don’t they see the inconvenience that the current policy is forcing on anyone without substantial gardens. It’s no surprise that most councillors, of all parties, have spacious and well appointed gardens. Three bins are not filling up a good proportion of their back garden. If you live on a terrace in Rectory Road then it’s a different story.

It’s no surprise that the original policy originated in Brussels, another one size fits all European law, Directive 75/442/EEC.
