Why Litter Bugs Are Turning Our Neighbourhoods into Rubbish Dumps!
I’ve got something to get off my chest. I love a good stroll. A pleasant walk through the neighbourhood. Nothing better than sitting in the park and taking in the peace and quiet of our great outdoors, right? Listening to the birds chirp in the late afternoon as an empty Macdonalds paper cup and a Red Bull can roll past your feet.
Epidemic of Litter
Everywhere you f**king look, our once spotless roadsides, parks, and pathways are covered in all sorts of junk. Paper cups, plastic bottles, Energy drink cans, beer bottles, takeaway wrappers, you name it. It’s not just ugly; it’s bloody disgusting and the world is noticing ( Read The Euro News article :Welcome to a filthy littered dump called Britain )
What the f*** goes through someone’s head when they throw rubbish out of their car window or drop it along the sidewalk or leave it behind in the park? What kind of half-witted low class people are these? If you don’t chuck rubbish around your house, why do you think it’s okay to do it in public? I just don’t get it. Come to think of it, I reckon their houses look like rubbish dumps. Sad isn’t it?
It’s not my Responsibility…….
Yeah yeah, I know – it’s up to the local council to keep the area and roadsides clean, bla bla bla… and let’s face it; they’re not exactly doing a bang-up job, are they? They’ve had a so-called ‘litter strategy’ since 2017, but it’s not done much good. They’re obviously under a lot of financial pressure and there seems to be less in the local budgets for cleaning up, but they wouldn’t need to if people JUST STOPPED LITTERING !!
Have Some Pride and Take Action
People need to start having some F***ING PRIDE! Pride in themselves, pride in their neighbourhoods and pride in their surroundings! It’s becoming embarrassing. Take a trip to Singapore or speak to someone who’s been there and they will tell you the place is spotless. And its not because the government has the best street sweepers, its because people don’t litter! They have heavy fines and punishments for littering, which is a great deterrent, but more importantly people there have pride, which is something seriously lacking over here.
I’m not one to just moan about a situation and I’m not someone who can just sit around waiting for someone else to fix things. Recently I’ve begun taking a carrier bag with me when I go out and I pick up whatever litter I see. I’d like to ask you to do the same. Not a big ask, is it?
You can grab a cheap litter picker from Amazon and start collecting litter when you go for your walks. If we all chip in, we can make a difference.

Thankfully, all around the country people, neighbourhoods and private organizations are recognising the problem and taking action. Well done to the guys at Clean Up Britain and all the volunteers. They’re doing some top work, cleaning up their local areas and spreading the word. They’re even pushing for higher fines and printing car registration numbers on takeaway packaging to catch the litter louts. About bloody time!
So, listen up. This filthy problem needs sorting and it’s down to all of us.
Show some pride!
STOP LITTERING
And go pick up some litter to tidy up your local surroundings.
Let’s keep Britain tidy because we’re better than that!
