We are aiming to make it quicker for private landlords to evict anti-social tenants after serving notice, as well as broaden the disruptive and harmful activities that can lead to eviction.

We will also strengthen rules so previous anti-social behaviour perpetrators are deprioritised for new council housing.

My medicinal cannabis usage used to be considered antisocial until I paid into the official government protection racket. There are many medicinal users who could be evicted and then refused any rehousing help for the crime of using cannabis in their own home.

Watch as 'antisocial' becomes a catchall phrase for everything that the fascists don't like. We live in scary times...

The shopping cart fag end is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.

To bin the fag end is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To bin the fag end is objectively right.

There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to bin their fag end. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to not bin your fag end. Therefore the fag end presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.

No one will punish you for not binning the fag end, no one will find you or kill you for not binning the fag end. You must bin the fag end out of the goodness of your own heart. You must bin the fag end because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it. The fag end determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

I've made a huge mistake.
Fly tippers are arseholes.

My local HWRC introduced booking slots during lockdown and so far have kept them. I can image they're a pain to regular dumpers and potentially increasing fly tippers, but I have to say for me it's been a massive improvement. No more playing the queue lottery; I can book a slot, being prepared to wait a week in return knowing I'll be in-and-out with little waiting.

Admitting that Madeleine McCann is dead - and hopefully has been since the night she was reported missing - would involve holding the press accountable. That's not going to happen.

There are actually places where binning your fag end isn't an option because there aren't any loving bins. Small Heath in Birmingham is one example, there's just no bins on the street. Not one.

Stub it out and take it home? A lack of bins is also not an excuse for not picking up your dogs poo poo, or picking it up and hanging the bag from a tree when no one is looking.

Exactly this. People who casually discard fag butts have voided the social contract and are simply less worthy of respect or consideration than other humans. I'm not not obliged to respect people who actively and intentionally make the world a worse place, whether that's fascists or people "just" littering. gently caress off.

For people crying about the lack of bins or whatever, there are many little pocket things you can get to hold your discarded butts, it's a solved problem

The lack of bins and other investment into public spaces is loving atrocious, but agreed - If you have litter and don't see a bin, take it home with you. Not seeing a bin is no excuse.

Yeah I bin it… if there’s a bin. If there isn’t a bin and I already have some rubbish it goes in there til I find one but no other rubbish, no bag, and I’m not anywhere particularly beautiful? It’s going on the floor, I’m not carrying around pocketfuls of fag ends if I can at all help it. Thank god we don’t have many bins any more so that no one can do a terrorism or whatever.

Also antisocial is absolutely becoming the new ‘degenerate’. You’d think there not being any such thing as society, they’d not be too bothered.

I do most of my smoking on a Saturday night in Manchester City centre. The place isn’t looking any worse for a couple more fag butts down the alleys of the northern quarter.

The big question is whether you’re allowed to throw them down drains

Harshly fining people while not making any provisions is extremely bad, but litterers are total cunts and smokers have gotten away with being defacto exempt for way too long, so buy a little stub holder and don't complain about getting rightly called out for being a selfish prick.

I don't smoke and I do take my litter home with me. But in places where you have to walk a mile with an empty kebab box just to get rid of it, I can't find it in me to blame people for chucking it on the floor. Their environment is actively hostile to responsible behaviour.

I'm used to walking around with litter because I have to do it when I go for a walk, backpack goes out with dinner and comes back with litter.

If there are no public bins then shops will often have one somewhere either inside the door or on the shop floor at a cleaning station.

Fag ends and chewing gum, the solution is the same. If there's no bin around when you're finished, just swallow it. The 'stays in your stomach for seven years' thing is a myth.

One could also smoke prison rollies - that way there isn’t really anything left to chuck.

One of the problems I've heard with just chucking your ends on the floor is that birds eat them and it ends up killing the local moggies who eat those birds.
