Julia Hartley Brewer rips into Scotland s Nicola Sturgeon

A major clean-up operation has begun in Edinburgh as waste and cleansing services resume after nearly two weeks of strike action by workers. The city’s waste workers walked out on August 18 in a dispute over pay, but returned to work on Tuesday in the Scottish capital where huge piles of rubbish have accumulated in many streets. The strike was timed to coincide with Edinburgh’s festival season, and spread to around two thirds of other council areas. However, Nicola Sturgeon s official residence in Edinburgh dodged the current bin strikes after it emerged its rubbish is being collected by a private firm. Julia Hartley-Brewer criticised Sturgeon over the bin strike: "You can t blame us English for everything." #talktv #talkradio
