Intelligent chipped-up bins stalk Britain

Trash Daleks waiting for wake up call
Thursday, 24 May 2007, 09:40
ONE IN SEVEN British households have wheelie bins equipped with chip technology to snoop on their trash.

The Conservative Party issued freedom of information requests to local councils that show three million households have chipped up bins, raising fears that a new tax on rubbish is on the cards.

According to the Local Government Association (LGA), most of the chips fitted to bins were inert, suggesting that they're just waiting for the command of Rubbish Commissar David Milliband to wake them up, causing them to raid our already depleted bank accounts.

Surveys show that most Brits are deeply resistant to council Jobsworths pawing through their rubbish. ยต
