Where you bin this week?!..
If you are wondering, as I had been, where all the rubbish bins in the town centre had gone I can exclusively reveal the answer. I thought that the council were about to waste (geddit) a load of cash on new bins when the old ones, with their specially designed cigarette stubber-outers on the top, were perfectly adequate. But no; I have it on good authority, namely the two blokes in high viz jackets reinstalling the one at the Bank Street/High Street corner, that they had been removed due to the security threat posed by the militry top brass Tonbridgeblog referred to in an earlier post regarding the Tonbridge School hosted CCF annivesary event (scroll down if you don't believe me!) I kid you not and you'd think this story were a load of old rubbish (another pun) but if that's the price of freedom then so be it....

If they don't know whereto put them back they can alway look at Google Streetview. There's a good shot ofthe courner of Banks Street completre with a fed Exxpress van parked up on the pavement!
Removing rubbish bins has nothing to do with the price of freedom TB, so don't kid yourself otherwise. It's like saying increased security at airports and extra surveilance of citizens is also the price of freedom. When individual liberties are sacrificed in the name of freedom, who exactly is kidding who? and exactly what freedoms are we talking about?
More to the point locally, how much did this farcical bin-removal exercise cost Tonbridge Coucil Tax payers?
btw tonbridge isnt on google streetview yet anonymous!
Streetview? Bleedin' well is!
It is not the 'price of freedom'. It is the symptom of tyranny. Isn't it just a little bit odd that as the government takes measures to 'protect our freedom', every one of those measures actually and measurably reduces our freedom? Whether it be putting us under constant surveillance, registering the innocent on criminal databases, or the fairly trivial act of removing of all rubbish bins, so as to enhance the revenue from fines for littering.
