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. I'm with you on the You don't smell any worse than any other smoker with one (because we all already reek of it) and it holds enough for you to keep smoking until you get somewhere that has a bin

You dispute the fine in court or pay it. Same as if someone dumps a bunch of rubbish next to your bin on bin day, which the waste collection people leave there and then someone calls the police/council after. e: Another annoying example is if you're staying in a hotel or airbnb and don't have a bin you can use, you're basically forced to fly tip (which legally includes putting bags of rubbish into public bins as they are not technically "litter"). I've been in that situation and it sucks. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 13:39 on Mar 27, 2023 |

Someone mentioned litter picks and that brought back memories, we used to do that when I was a kid, a bunch of us would walk along the roads one day in spring and pick trash. I remember it being fun actually. I think people litter less now at least.

I do weekend litter cleanup for a couple of hours every other weekend or thereabouts, it's a nice crew of people and it gives you a feeling of inner wellbeing. I imagine the opposite feeling to being a person who just throws their poo poo on the ground.

I always take an empty shopping bag in my backpack with me when I'm out on my mountain bike because there's inevitably always cunts who litter even out in gorgeous forests and beauty spots.

You have to put a caveat on this and say "with reusable tanks and liquids" otherwise the same cunts now just drop single use vapes all over the place which is even loving worse because it's a complete and utter waste of resources on top of being loving stupid.

Always remove your name and address. I shred stuff or remove name & address with assorted chemicals or a little bonfire in the kitchen sink. This is Kent cc should be the same around the UK I think. https://www.kent.gov.uk/environment-waste-and-planning/rubbish-and-recycling/managing-waste/advice-if-youre-booking-a-waste-collector People who chuck their fag butts on the ground, into the flower beds etc especially when there are ash trays, ash bins, special stubbing out points with fag bins underneath are disgusting and should be : guillotine: Having been a pub cleaner and had to pick the foul things up by hand. And those little gas canister things are everywhere just chucked about the local playing fields, Riverside walks etc. Take the fkin things home. And your pooches turds. String 'em up (owners & chuckers not pooches) it's the only language they understand. Jae being a gammon for once and no I'm not kidding it's absolutely 100% unnecessary.

Remember that Labour data leak(s) a while ago that the Law Firm was going after, and you could sign up to win millions of pounds? I've had a few emails over the months updating me on things, but today I received what looks like the last one. The Tangent October 2021 case has been closed because they have no chance of winning. The Blackbaud February 2020 case apparently only affected 35 people, and I wasn't one of them, but you might still get a payout if you are one of the lucky 35!

The one thing to reflect on is that now both Labour & the SNP have a leader at Holyrood educated at Hutchesons' Grammar, a private school in Glasgow. I think the other leaders of parties with MSPs were all state school educated. So that's a bit poo poo

Peak Graun on how Starmer could lose the next election if he doesn't embrace everything the Tories are already doing: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/27/labour-lose-election-three-hurdles-working-class-immigrationMatthew Goodwin posted:Things are beginning to change, with Keir Starmer’s acceptance of Brexit and focus on crime a sign that he grasps the need to reach out beyond London and the liberal enclaves. But unlike during the era of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, the gulf over values is now being exacerbated by other, more recent developments.
