Her country is overrun with Muslims and May is concerned about plastic bags in grocery stores.

Well if your country's intelligence service had just colluded to interfere in an ally's most recent presidential election what would you do ?

How is this MY fault?

A similar argument was used for replacing cloth diapers (which wasted water in cleaning) with disposables.

These Government Idiots think banning plastic bags will stop them ending up in the ocean , the bags in the ocean come from Central/south America , Africa ,middle east etc etc , not the west

Great idea!

Great Britain does not have even one aircraft carrier that can launch aircraft. Plus little Serbia has more main battle tanks than does the UK. Plus the UK is overrun by Muslims who want to make Sharia the law of the land.

So it only makes sense that Theresa May would want to focus on how much plastic is used in UK supermarkets.

Well, once sharia is the law of the land they won’t have to worry about toilet paper waste.

“So what do we use instead?”

Bring your aluminum snow shovel and use it to scoop up stuff off of the floors of the aisles...cause that’s where it’s gonna pour without the evil plastic holding it all together. Dump your collections in a wheelbarrow.

Later on, at home, just dump it all out on the kitchen floor and begin sorting the dry peas and corn out of the Skittles, the jelly beans and the Cheerios. Grits are gonna be a pain. Jolly great family time though.

5p levy on plastic bags

Just another scam to generate cash to waste on crap.

[DoughtyOne]

Good. You probably have a good reason to do it.

I don’t have a problem with plastic.

[DoughtyOne]

I want GLASS!

LOL

This whole scheme is merely a double down on the recycling scam to keep people from looking too closely at it.

There are actual garbage inspectors over there that fine people for not separating recyclables properly - yet much of the plastic secretly ends up in landfills rather than recycled! Same happens here, the market for recycled plastic is limited and the process is not cost effective whatsoever requiring heavy government subsidies to keep the whole scam going. The majority of the plastic collected is just overflow that gets buried like the rest of the trash.

I’m all for the environment, and plastic is a problem, but I wish she showed some concern for the children of her country and what they will have to face...not from plastic, but from Jihadis.

[beaversmom]

I prefer glass, too. I feel like it sanitizes better for one thing.

[Scrambler Bob]

including plastics-free aisles in supermarkets
= = =

No hired help or customers with boob jobs?

[beaversmom]

I hope for Merkel first.

[Smittie]

Glass jars for peanut butter and such? Step backwards

I don't know about that. I know milk tastes better in glass bottles and peanut butter probably does too...

[D Rider]

Well that’s it then, England is being run by Moron’s. They are committing cultural suicide, and this is the kind of problem that they want to focus on? Please, someone tell me where there collective heads are at.

When I lived in London in the 60’s you had to pack up your own groceries in your own bags. I was shocked. They do this today at Aldi’s Supermarket right here.
