I only follow one party: the Mongo party
Cue Happy Larry telling us how the binmen could just as easily go on holidays or hire drivers if only they'd stop fucking moaning and get their heads down.

Following Kathryn Stanczyszyn (@stanchers) on Twitter on twitter and it looks like a deal may well have been struck before next week's court case. Bham City Council come out of this looking a shambles, meeting starts late, no report to see until the start.
looks like bin men keeping their jobs, although it's 'new role' apparently. Report also says deal 'was struck' back in August and additional strikes need not have happened, that saw bill rise to £6m. Twat face Lisa Trickett says the proposal is ‘cost neutral’

I think most commercial waste in the UK is collected by various private companies, separate to the council run services (be that 'in house' or contracted out), certainly around here domestic collections are operated by the council 'in house', but there's at least 3 or 4 private operators doing commercial collections.

More or less. Change of job title and added responsibilities.

£12 discount on garden waste next year to EXISTING garden waste customers, offered as a good will gesture.
I'm sure this will go down well for those who don't have gardens who would rather see the discount applied to next years council tax (which will no doubt go up by a record %)

We were in Birmingham yesterday and talking over pints with a very-Union-committed festival friend (has always lived in Birmingham, not a Council employee though -- like me, he's PCS) and he said he was pretty happy because it was a good victory for Unite.
But also, he said, the Council's handling of it had been riddled with incompetence throughout, and the whole dispute could and should have been settled ages ago of BCC hadn't been so stubborn.
Spot on to Unite and the workers for holding out, I say

Did you really expect him to claim otherwise?
Instead of "trashing" Birmingham and selfishly inconveniencing hundreds of thousands of people, the Union members should have done what the rest of us do when we're not happy with our employer......find another job. If they can't, then they should have more respect and perhaps even a little smidgin of gratitude towards their current employer.

Up the workers
I think you'll find that the management of the Labour Party controlled Birmingham Council consider themselves "workers" too. And rightly so.

Let me guess, you got on your bike and looked for work?

Get over your feelings of inferiority. Working to the best of ones ability gives most people (you may obviously be an exception) a feeling of satisfaction and pride in themselves......not to mention success and advancement, in many cases.
"There are no shortcuts to lasting success.Hard work is the single greatest competitive advantage. Hard work is always the baseline of great achievements. And I don’t think these successful entrepreneurs-turned-naysayers have defied the odds through casual effort."

Who the hell do you think you are? Alan fucking Sugar?
Advancement? In what? Being a lecturing, patronising bore?

Piss off. I don't have any feelings of inferiority.
The rest of your post is mind numbing "work sets you free" nazi bollocks.

He's enjoying all this attention.
He is certainly a role model. Self employed from an early age, building up a successful business. Being involved with a great soccer team. Having a successful TV show and writing best selling books.
He's a hard worker, successful and intelligent.
It's no wonder that you dislike him. You probably don't have a single thing in common.

Calls for you to be banned are out of order, but I’m definitely seeing this as a jeu d’esprit now. No-one could believe all this of Sugar: a wide boy who happened to make a couple of shrewd moves in the crappier end of consumer electronics and then made a dozen stupid ones, the Spurs chairman who lost us a decade at least, a man so reduced to self-parody that he now plays the role of a businessman on a scripted game show. You over-egg your pudding.

LOL!
I was just about willing to believe that Larry was a real person, but that guff about Alan Sugar has totally convinced me that he's playing the part of a Daily Mail reading blimp.
