A FESTERING mountain of rubbish revived memories of the Winter of Discontent yesterday — as a bin strike’s fourth week caused misery for a city’s residents. Shocking images showed hundreds of black bags piled 6ft high at a temporary collection point in Tyseley, Birmingham. Up to 17,000 tons of waste have gone uncollected in the city since more than 350 refuse workers walked out on March 11 over wage cuts. The Unite union says about 150 members will be £8,000 worse off.

A DIRECTOR of a horror funeral home where 35 bodies and human ashes were discovered has been charged with 64 offences. Robert Bush, 47, of Hull-based Legacy Funeral Directors, was arrested last March on suspicion of fraud and prevention of a lawful burial. A file of 13,000 exhibits, compiled in the ten months since, was handed to the Crown Prosecution Service in January. Now Bush has been charged with 64 offences including 30 counts of preventing an unlawful and decent burial.

A BRITISH Bulldog is helping to save the day in Ukraine — by delivering aid packages to civilians stuck on the front line. Eight-year-old Ray, whose harness is done out in the yellow and blue of the Ukraine flag, has made frequent trips to the warzone with his 58-year-old owner John Hill since Russia’s invasion in 2022. They have travelled through Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk and Lviv during repeated four-week deployments.

SCHEMING Vladimir Putin yesterday said Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky must quit to speed up peace. The tyrant also insisted Russia has the “strategic initiative” all along the front line. And he warned: “Not long ago I said we’d grind them down. “Now it looks like we’ll finish them off.”Putin used a visit to launch a nuclear submarine to suggest the UN take control in Kyiv to elect a more “competent” government.

A SHOE fetish sadist who raped and murdered a mum-of-two is set to be freed, we can reveal. Twisted Christopher Farrow, 62, was jailed in 2000 for the 1994 murder of receptionist Wendy Speakes. He tied her up and forced her to wear a pair of blue mules before raping and killing her at her home in Wakefield, West Yorks. He was ordered to serve at least 18 years. Wendy's daughter, Tracey Millington-Jones, has campaigned for him to remain in prison, saying she believes he is still a danger to women.
