Very interesting experiment, I guess you don't realise how much the council does for you and the community until it's taken away.  I got pissed off when someone nicked our food scrap bin, and I had to ring the council for a replacement, never mind having the rubbish removal taken away. I wonder if the people on the street all made up in the end, especially the guy that said something about the single mother. I think she was asking only for what she thought she rightly should have but he thought she should put the street first.

I think the thing for me was all the things you don't think about that the council does do for you and you don't give a second thought about, it did make me laugh, when they took their recycling to the bottle banks and then had it all returned to them as the council owned the bottle banks  and what about them girls that were hoarding their rubbish on the sofa

I watched ,it was marvellous.

When they thought dealing with fly tipping and Graffitti was bad,the sh*t hit the fan when they had to make "cuts" ,decide if an elderly disabled man kept his care package /single parent kept her Housing Benefit and after school care programme.

I have never seen so many adults almost delirious with delight when their wheelie bins returned,street lights turned on, and the council took back control.

I did laugh when one man went to his local baths,but it was council controlled,so no entry.He just decided he would go for a walk in the local park,but council controlled, no entry.He walked the streets.

I have to say that this reminded me of that old Rice Krispies ad:

If they didn't think the bottle banks (and parks, and swimming baths, etc) were run by the council, who did they think ran them?
