You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.

And then you notice the damned recycling sacks branded with the council emblem. Bright blue I ask you! This is vandalism.
Bah.

Could have been worse Pete. Imagine if they had been deep Commie red :)
Nice photo, Pete. I love the soft colors.
So beautiful. I agree about the bags but that could be changed and is just petty vandalism. It is the things being done to our landscape and built environment that can't be changed that is the real vandalism.

Which village is it? I'm familiar with some of the Cotswolds.
Great pic Pete and a good point. A picture can indeed speak a thousand words. Town hall Nazis.

That'll be the fog that was just lifting!

It's the village of Bibury, a few miles from Cirencester.
Thanks Pete
I've been in Bourton, Broadway and Chipping Camden. A beautiful part of England.
I want a vicar to be passing on his bike and Miss Marple on her way to the the local tea shop :o)
Aren't such bags outside for a morning a week before a pick-up, seems a bit overstated. And considering that recycling helps the environment so that we can continue to preserve our lovely places, this doesn't seem to be to big a deal. And lastly, most people (outside of ATW's community) understand the need for recycling and thus it is a fairly democratic sign.
Peter -
Oh it is. Bibury isn't near anywhere or on the road to anywhere, so it's tranquil.
I was in Bourton on the Water yesterday and it was murder - tourists everywhere. But then it's on the tourist trail, has a coach park and no end of Olde Shoppes selling Ye Olde Tatte to Touristes.

Broadway is just the same.
I support recycling completely.
Here, we were asked to use special colored bags, but we just refused to do so. Having to manufacture and use special bags actually causes additional and unnecessary pollution. Now, almost universally, we New Yawkahs use supermarket plastic bags when we leave out paper, glass, metal and some plastic for recycling.
