You can't expect house holders who have had Council tax rises to take their own crap to the tips. 😮
New rubbish idea was to leave the crap on the upper deck of the buses 😊
Final nail in Starmers Coffin ?
What away to send the house prices down ! Rodents in the drains bedding in for months.
Why don't they put a ulez charge in birmingham like london money making thing but this is polluting the country and is disgusting
No respect, good for the bin men😇
I didn’t realise you could dispose of desks in your wheelie bin? I think people are abusing the fly tipping with items that you wouldn’t put in you wheelie bin in the first place.
In 2023-24, a record 3,906 council officials received over £100,000, with 1,092 earning more than £150,000, according to the Town Hall Rich List 2025, stop paying council tax
Only when enough money has been siphoned off for construction of airport in pakistan
Leftie green loonies are protesting to save the rubbish for the cute rats.
Jeremy Vine saying 'loving it.' All bad news is good news in the media

They don't fix road they don't fix the water levels they don't fix Morley houses why care about the bins more
Let the robots pick up the bins technology pick up the bins

Does normal money left city centre Birmingham uk now because they paid the top manager salary out of have tax pays money

Well done Marvyn Harrison for immediately shutting down the absolutely insane idea of people burning the backlog of rubbish. To even suggest this in built-up areas with thousands of tonnes of highly combustible rubbish laying around is just beyond stupid and the two presenters suggesting it should be reprimanded for doing so
Coming for drivers next the other 2 unions know this why aint there members striking
Looks like Birmingham residents ( not all obviously ) are taking advantage of the rubbish building up and throwing away all their extra crap like they would in a skip!!
If this was happening in my area we would double bag everything and take to local tip every 2 weeks so it did not build up like this!
Some people are looking at it like a free for all with some of the crap on those rubbish piles, it is disgusting!
I can only speak for myself, but i am pretty sure most people where i live would also do as i suggested, cannot imagine in a million years they would let it build up like this!!
Never liked Birmingham, always thought it was a bit of a dump, now it literally is!!
They dump outside other peoples houses, keep there own fronts clean pigs
Less money for more hours i dont blame them,
So cost of living goes up, and they thought it would a good idea to drop their wages!
Then pay them a decent wage

Uk has been broken for 20+ years. Everything is broken. Government are corrupt. Waste billions of tax payers money on what they shouldn't be spending on…. MPs on lavish salaries. While everyone else struggling.
government should allocate asylum seekers to help it will keep them busy as well. since they are board
Why don’t they bring in the army
What lots of people seemed to have forgotten, that during the 70s and 80s we sent in the military to cover the bin strikes in Glasgow, we sent in the military to cover the fire brigade strikes, the tanker drivers strikes, and the ambulance drivers strikes.
And how do I know, because I was one of those individuals who had my HGV licences, so I like many others were trained to operate the Green Goddesses military fire engines, the same with being trained to operate the fuel tankers, and then those of us who were first aid trained were partnered up with medically trained personnel to respond to low priority call outs, so that the few professional ambulance crews could respond to the higher priority calls.
And we did the job with the professionalism that the people would expect from their military service guys and gals. And we were treated with total respect by the public and those who were on strike. I personally enjoyed the several weeks that we spent in Glasgow, because the people treated us like kings. Sleeping on the floor of the gymnasium in HMS FASLANE the navy base where the nuclear submarines are located was a bit uncomfortable, but we got on with the job and we enjoyed the banter and reception from the Glaswegian people. And none of us complained about our deployment in too any of the different locations, because we know that it’s all part of our role within the UK. Same as when the country is hit by heavy storms, or heavy flooding, we know that we will be deployed. Because it’s part of our remit to protect and defend the people of our country irrespective of the circumstances and reasons, as we are a ready workforce who can be deployed much faster and efficiently, with no conflicts with any unions or other authorities. ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Birmingham did vote labour so live with it
