I can almost hear the Oxfam advert: “This is Andrea. Every week, she has to walk three bins all the way down the street, round the corner and into the backyard. It’s either that or people will see her bins. It’s crazy, but you can help.

David Mitchell summarises a tabloid campaign against wheelie bins as councils start to enforce recycling, at a time that the people of Iran are dying for their democracy. Good work, England. Could we at least rebel against how ridiculous our newspaper’s desperate cycles of moral outrage makes us look?
