A First?

The Mail reports:

A council's new rubbish bin collection and recycling scheme has provoked more than 6,000 complaints in its first day after residents were issued with five bins.

Officials at Torbay Council in Devon have brought in a system of waste disposal which sees green wheelie bins replaced with a series of boxes.

But the Mail goes onto report (my emphasis)...

Its [sic] said the new scheme would help the council hit the recycling and waste targets set by the European Union.

I've long complained about the lack of candidness regarding EU Directives, so credit where credit is due.

Paul Dacre, the Mail editor, had a close political relationship with Gordon Brown. Now Brown's gone is the above a coincidence?
