Mountains of trash and 'cat-size' rats as garbage workers strike in U.K.'s second-largest city
-
So bad is the situation that local lawmakers declared a “major incident” this month in the city, where some residents say their quality of life is worse than in developing countries and hold it up as an example of “Broken Britain” — which is how some describe the perceived widespread social decay of the U.K. and the breakdown of public services in the country.
“You’re not getting little rats anymore,” Charlie Wilson, 31, said as she sat on her front porch. “They’re getting cat-size.” She added that the smell — which has only gotten worse as spring temperatures have risen — was making her sick.
The English are slowly fading into obscurity. They became hugely powerful during the hegemonic colonial era and that shine diminishes relentlessly year on year. These people cannot change and have consistently failed to take the necessary action to reform. Ironic that they took the word 'reform' to create a party that attracts reactionaries and racists to lead them backwards into obscurity. Good luck English people, you will need it.

That’s fine with me. Work smart, not hard

People need to get to know their waste better.
That seems wasteful

Great situation with the rising cost of food. Now we can just start cooking those giant rats.
