BIG Brother is here in the form of government and particularly in our case, the local authority.

The most recent nonsense being the various coloured bags and rules regarding waste. Will it be the establishment of a rubbish police force next? Expense seems to be of no consequence.

The list that supports the case is almost endless, with draconian rules and regulations relating to, for example, electronic cigarettes, alcohol, sponsorship and advertising, parking and traffic law.

National and local politicians beware: our next opportunity to vote will send a big message to Big Brother.
