Simon.

Apparently we can expect a doubling of cases of food poisoning as a
result of this stupid idea.

Why?

He's thinking of fresh meat/fish getting thrown into a reusable bag
with everything else.

However, bags are free for that type of product.

But the whole thing seems like a stupid waste of time in comparison to
the other problems we face (lack of effective policing, deaths on the
road, looming energy crisis, migrant problem).

but charging each migrant 5p isn't going to solve that problem, is it?

If you give the 5p's to me, it'll solve my problems! :0

That's what I object to - where the 5p goes. This charge is a tax
designed to change behaviour and as such should go to hard pressed local
councils to provide better services. I do not like being charged a
compulsory donation to so-called charities, large companies who enjoy
tax perks and exemption from employment laws, claim to be
"not-for-profit" when they are, pay chief executives more than the prime
minister but expect their shop assistants to work for nothing and harass
the vulnerable to extort money.
