England will ban businesses from selling and offering a variety of single-use plastics,
including plates and cutlery, by the end of the year, the UK’s Department for Environment,
Food and Rural Affairs announced on Saturday.

I’m ok with businesses giving me real knives and forks instead of that plastic crap that breaks. But it’s none of the Gov’ts damn business. They should shut up and go to their room. Freaking busy bodies will be the end of us all.

Please please please ban straws for anyone older than four years old. Or with a note from their doctor.

And I’m not even sure if the kids under four should get them.


I’m so sick of automatically being handed a straw in a restaurant like I’m some child not capable of holding a glass in my hand.

You can put your lips where the server touched if you want. Me, I don't need to prove anything, I'll use a straw.

I can remember not that long ago this same group screaming that all wood and glass products had to be replaced by plastic immediately to save the earth.
