So what the hell are they doing mucking around with global trade policy? They cannot even get the bins emptied efficiently.
I think it's time to hit the top shelf.

So, I've told you a few times that it's not Hyndburn Borough Council that's suggesting you buy Fairtrade stuff all they are doing is buying the stuff themselves and leading by example. Are you all so down on the Council that they can't even show a little bit of support to a worthwhile charity without you blaming them for everything. If they turned around and refused to buy Fairtrade stuff can you imagine how everyone could have a field day with it? I'm not suggesting they would but the headlines would be 'hard hearted Councillors refuse to support charity cause'.
