Sömmerda Commune: A Forgotten German Workers’ Uprising On 13 March 1920, in Germany, just hours after the far-right Kapp Putsch began and the Social Democratic government called for a general strike, workers in Sömmerda, Germany – many of whom were members of the anarchist Free Workers' Union of Germany (FAUD) – took control of their town.  They formed an executive committee of 40 workers, disarmed the town guard, arrested the reactionary mayor, and formed a workers' militia.  The putsch fell apart on March 17, the Social Democratic government asked for the end of the general strike on 20 March, and, after backdoor deals, the trade unions along with the Independent Social Democratic Party and Communist Party joined in calling the general strike officially over on March 22.  The workers in Sömmerda wouldn't give up their control, so on March 24 a detachment of troops, containing many of those who had just attempted to overthrow the government a week earlier, was sent to take back the town. In the repression, around 23 workers ended up dead and 180 were imprisoned.  More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8496/s%C3%B6mmerda-commune

UK’s care sector blasted as ‘utter s****’ by inquiry chief Baroness Louise Casey blasted the NHS medicines regulator NICE for rejecting a new ‘expensive’ Alzheimer’s drug

This is what happens when #corporations get involved. Turns out adding a #shareholder that siphons off cash is bad for quality of service. Did you know that most #councils blow around 90% of their entire budget on #PrivateEquity owned "care services"?

That's why the roads are shit.

Nearly a Quarter of English Councils Unable to Meet Weekly Food Waste Collection Deadline A BBC investigation has found that almost a quarter of councils in England will not meet the upcoming government deadline to provide weekly food waste collections to all households. The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) mandated weekly collections under new legislation, aiming to standardize recycling across the country. Despite more than £340 million in government grants and increased budgets, at least 71 councils reported they would miss the March deadline. Delays are attributed to high demand for specialized collection vehicles and insufficient revenue funding for running weekly services. Some councils, like Shropshire and East Hampshire, face logistical challenges, while others, including Worcester, plan rollouts as late as 2027. The Local Government Association has requested more clarity on funding and flexibility in service delivery. The policy, known as Simpler Recycling, seeks to remove the 'postcode lottery' of differing local recycling rules, ensuring all households can recycle food waste, paper, card, and dry recyclables. Food waste is processed via anaerobic digestion, producing biomethane for energy and digestate for fertilizer. Experts say phased implementation will prevent system overload, improve recycling rates, and reduce landfill emissions, while also encouraging households to be more conscious of food waste.

Food waste collection deadline missed by one in four councils Local authorities blame the delays on a lack of funding and a shortage of bin lorries.

since some #councils (eg #Birmingham) are failing even regular waste collections, don't think #foodwaste is going to be a priority.
why not teach how to reduce food waste instead?

Do you know what would reduce the amount of fly tipping in this country?
If councils didn’t make it almost impossible to take rubbish to a council tip legally. It will all wind up there eventually anyway so why make it so difficult?

#Nigel wouldn’t have minded if this applied to the many #councils his #Reform chums are wrecking

Quick super quick kitty break then back to #Albus. Going to circle back to #city #councils that I can find and update them like I did with @council.nyc.gov. Then onward to the remaining 9 or 10 cities we did not go over yesterday. Some reposts of those. Nail all the way to board!

Like, I'm spending a lot of time working on #NIH #Advisory #Councils, which is not something I'd be doing if I was working with Marcy Kaptur's district. I unfortunately feel very much in my element in this nerdy district.

Bin was emptied today and is now cracked down the side. Council told me it doesn't matter that they broke it, as it's over 5 years old I have to repair it or replace it at my own expense. 😠

Forensic methods could nab Dublin dog owners that don’t pick up litter While many would like to see a heavy-handed punishment for pet owners who fail to pick up and dispose of their dog’s poo, the current penalty is an on-the-spot fine of €150. However, unless someone is quite literally caught in the act, it is extremely difficult to enforce the penalties for failing to pick up […]
