Greenwich Baby Bin

Joe has brought to my attention a shocking development in Greenwich Council's policy on children. I know that providing nursery care and school facilities are getting more expensive, and that young people are a drain on council resources, but do they really have to resort to the kind of desperate tactics that encourage vulnerable people to dispose of their babies in a seedy underground toilet?

Greenwich Council's solution to the ever-burgeoning population problem is the deeply sinister "Baby Bin," as seen in the picture above, with its disarmingly 'cute' outline of a chubby little bairn in a nappy, which has been installed in the Gents in King William Walk, with strict - and distressing for some - instructions. No general rubbish to be put in this receptacle; it's clearly intended for alternative 'disposal.'

Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'lavatory cleaner.'
