    Wrong to charge for bin collection

    THE recent announcement by the Government which will allow local councils to charge quite extortionate amounts to collect our refuse, will only serve as yet another nail in the coffin of an incompetent Government headed by an even more incompetent Prime Minister.

    More especially will that be the case when double standards are quite blatantly to be seen in evidence if all MPs will in fact be allowed to claim back this charge alongside the other multiple perks they burden the taxpayer with.

    Little wonder the majority of the general public are loathe to trust any politician for they appear to be only self-serving, or yet more to the point, a greedy lot. Just look at their pension scheme.

    MR P NEWTON, Redlam, Blackburn.
