The public is peaking

They don't like wheelie bins at all round here. There was a campaign against them

Bigots. Do better.

Good idea LikeothersIamjustme and I'm sure Stink News will give Binwall lots of coverage.

I am beginning to think that bins are the most oppressed thing ever. Should we set up a Binwall charity?

Oppression isn't just colours you know. My beautiful bin was forcibly repatriated because it wasn't slim enough - despite identifying as a size 8.

Mrs Fogi you are correct. Bins are whatever colour they say they are. They should be treated with respect. All they want is to be accepted and emptied which I agree should be done without offending the oppressed bins. I apologise for my mistake, I should know better.

LikeothersIamjustme - for goodness sake do you know nothing about diversity and inclusion? The bin collectors will just have to get on with it and ensure they don't offend any bins (or they will be sued). And if they complain they need to be shouted down and hounded out of their jobs.

I don't want to be controversial but I do feel for the bin collectors. Once more bins find out that they are not constrained by their outer plastic colour and that they can be their true brave and stunning selves containing what they know to be their rightful contents collection will be a nightmare. I suppose it is all worth it in the name of progress and more importantly, acceptance without exception.

I think this thread should be on the weekly round up.
Has a feminist thread ever made it to that email?

I think a lot of assumptions are being made about bins. All our bins are black - it got so confusing that I ordered labels for them so that I knew where to put what without having to open them (the only obvious one was the small black one for compostable waste, the other three are just black). I now realise I may have mis-labelled them, the one marked paper may actually "feel" that it is a "metal/plastic/glass" bin. How to tell? Clearly looking at the contents is not an option (that would the equivalent at looking at genitals to work out sex - which we all know is a big no no nowadays).

As an aside, to make matters worse and bring me into the realms of literal violence, when I ordered the stickers unfortunately I didn't realise the measurements were in inches rather than centimetres so my bins sport the most enormous labels ever seen on a bin (I suspect the neighbours think I am totally bonkers).

Our bins are old school metal ones with lids...perhaps they are non-binary...

Ba Ba Rainbow sheep is a real thing though, but i doubt it's because of racism.

It was in my neck of the woods, when my kids were small. But that was in the 90s before the Rainbow cultural revolution exploded all over the shop.

This really has been the most bizarre experience of my life, watching the top down attempt to impose complete fucking nonsense about "gender" on the general population, but it kind of feels like maybe we've hit the point where enough people have noticed that the inevitable end is in sight?

I think you might be right.

Jumping the shark with all the 'literally a woman' bollocks was the beginning.

Maybe the political lobbying groups weren't expecting a whole bunch of wankers to do that?

BERF's 😂 @Ounce

Another one that people will still tell you about is "Baa-Baa Green Sheep," which was a word game for kids: Black Sheep becomes Green Sheep, becomes Green Dogs, Becomes Becomes Becomes, until you were back to Black Sheep.

Also, chalkboards were not blackboards because they were not necessarily black, some were green (colour) because it was less refelctive and easier to read, and because whiteboards were wipeboards because that is what they are.

My feBINism will be BINtersectional or it will be bullshit.

Ah, so like the Winterval story, they've taken a kernel of truth and twisted it out of all recognition. Sounds about right.

The "Loony Left" stuff was a response to the declining impact of the earlier trope that all Lefties were agents of Moscow. It was masterminded by David Hart and the Freedom Association and was a collection of exaggerations, misinterpretations and ordinary decent lies.

The (colour) green bin liners were made of recycled plastic, whereas the black ones needed new plastic.

I googled “transgender bin”. Got a lot of German hits.

“Ich bin transgender!” said JFK that time once.

I thought it was Birmingham that cancelled Christmas with their Winterval.

The Sun asked that back in the 80s. Apparently leftie nutters in Haringey banned black bin bags because of racism. The same nutters then went ahead and cancelled Christmas.

You'll have noticed that, as there hasn't been a Christmas in Britain since 1994.

I saw it on an otherwise-woke FB group I'm in.
they are usually shit-hot on being right on but every so often something like this gets posted and everyone agrees/laughs/joins in

(so it all seems like very superficial wokeity)

I'm not sure what our black general waste bins say about us. I daren't ask.

To be honest I'm confused by the whole thing as round here blue bins are for recycling, green for food waste and much smaller.

Our cis bins are: grey wheelie; green all-purpose recycling; green paper and glass recycling; blue organic recycling.

I'm scared I live in a western colonialist recycling area now.
