Who said local politics is dull?
This is the refuse service long-mired in bullying, intimidation, racism, misogyny and homophobia, with nun chucks, knives and even a samurai sword taken to work.

Sadly another example of disconnect between @brighton-hove.gov.uk policy on #Disabled access & #InclusiveMobility, & the reality of how little #CityClean cares about #Wheelchair users or #Blind people. This is in #Kemptown but could be anywhere in #Brighton 🙁 @livingstreets.bsky.social
