The Michael Gove File

Said it before and will say it again. Your arm would never get tired.
 
Michael Gove: Let homeowners take home reusable rubbish found at council dumps

Gove seeks the right of 'homeowners' to scavenge tips. Glorious.

Tbh he does have a point, some councils are proper nazi about people taking things from tips, whereas others have ‘tip shops’ run by volunteer or commercial organisations to pass on reusable items. I’ve known of someone prosecuted for taking something home (a worker at a site rather than a user). People do take perfectly good (and sometimes unused) items to tips.

When I was renting a house once our cooker didn’t have a grill pan. I scavenged a knackered one from a skip or somewhere that was a different model and didn’t fit very well (almost useless). Spotted the same model cooker as ours at the tip once and tried to nab the grill pan which would have been very useful but they wouldn’t let me take it even with the reasonable offer of swapping for the one I had at home. Seemed a bit stupid and jobsworth.
 
When I was renting
You didn't own your home and you still expected to help yourself from the tip :rolleyes:

Is this actually a sensible proposal (the first ever?) from Gove? We used to scavenge all sorts from the dump, but the company contracted by the Council put a stop to it around a decade ago. I'd happily take stuff to the tip, knowing that someone else would find a use for it.
 
*bump* for a corker...

I remember sometime in 2017 laughing at Gove, no longer in governement, hiding from the wife in wetherpsoons with all the other old men, being interrupted by a skype call from Channel 4 news. A few weeks later he was Minister for the Environement. Cunt.
 
Frightening man. His ability to dispatch thousands to their deaths would be without peer.

edit: doh, Tory, done it already.:rolleyes:
 
Oooh...edgy

He obviously got one of those calls inviting him to pen a 'confessional'

the article itself is hilarious - apparently he did it before he ever thought of a career in politics*

* ie: several years after he'd applied to join the Conservative Research Department and wrote speeches for senior Tory MPs
