This is a modern disease. So many dog owners (who are probably otherwise decent people) seem to think this kind of sick behaviour is just fine. It’s insanity & there is no sane reason for ever doing this. It’s hideously ugly & harmful to nature & wildlife

Always pisses me off when I see wild flowers blighted by some slobs rubbish. This country could be beautiful but the reality is it’s a cesspit drowning in a deluge of rubbish, litter and sewerage populated by millions of people who couldn’t care less
@cleanupbritain
Very well said and it’s no different on quieter A & B roads all over the country. There are millions of tonnes of polluting & harmful to wildlife rubbish/litter lying all around us. It’s a NATIONAL DISGRACE so why aren’t more high profile people shouting this from the rooftops?
THIS SCALE OF LITTERING IS STAGGERING, EMBARRASSING, SHAMEFUL AND HUMILIATING FOR OUR COUNTRY. Those who did it are scumbags. Those who are responsible for cleaning it up are negligent. No excuses accepted.
Every road in this country has reams of polluting and harmful to wildlife litter/rubbish strewn alongside it. This huge haul of filth was collected yesterday from a half mile stretch of a country lane near Petworth in the

Don’t worry because my MP

Has all semblance of accountability now broken down in Britain - are we becoming a failed state?
This is Junction 2 of the M2 motorway in Kent. It has been in this litter-strewn state for over two years. No one cares.

How can there ever be a “greener” future when society dumps so much waste in our seas, rivers and countryside? Despite all the rhetoric it’s worse now than ever and getting worse. All the talk and meaningless government policy about a greener future is all smoke and mirrors…
Sorting through the plastic soup. The amount of

County Councils are generally responsible for mowing and District Councils for litter picking. They rarely talk to each other and this is yet another example of needlessly complicated local government rubbish
@cleanupbritain
Something that boils my pi*s in

in the UK is council mowers shredding litter. Why in gods name do the council not litter pick the day before? Surely we need joined up thinking!
The pungent aroma of discarded rubbish is also filling the woodlands of the South Downs. Yes there are lots of lovely green hills but it’s also one of the largest illegal rubbish dumps in the U.K. But as you say it needs reporting to someone else because it’s not your problem…

Absolutely right. It’s shameful & disgusting but millions drive on by either not noticing or not caring. What is the point of “green” initiatives if we live in an ever increasing rubbish dump. A MAJOR priority for any government should be to CLEAN up the filth

More crap from a FIFTY yard section of the A272 lying on the verge between Midhurst and Petworth. Most of it too big or heavy to bag. And this is one of the “cleaner” sections of the A272. How many millions of tonnes of filth and polluting rubbish are we all surrounded by?
Went for a lovely long walk today with a friend. Didn’t see a person for miles but still found rubbish discarded in the remotest of locations. This will never end until good people take action
@cleanupbritain
Didn’t buy my car to be a rubbish truck but the A272 is a miles long rubbish dump so picked up a tiny fraction of it on my way home from Midhurst to Petworth.

Sadly not. Keep Britain Tidy figures suggest that 48%of the population regularly litter ~33 million & less than 1% pick up. Large company CEOs don't lead by example & many Litter Authorities are duty-bound to prioritise kerbside collection. All adds up to the mess we are in.

Lots of dog owners are wonderful caring people but too many aren’t fit to own a rubber duck. They own them for the wrong reasons and don’t know to take care of them properly or clean up the mess they leave. As I just read somewhere…judge someone how they treat animals…..
Probably one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my life. So incredibly shocking it beggars belief how a person with any ounce of goodness could do something like this. They say humans are generally decent. I’m really, really not so sure…
EVIL PERSONIFIED!! 🤬

It’s a shocking state of affairs Simon. Our modern culture is producing a lot of very unsavoury people. Everything is disposable and too many people are extremely selfish and when they think nobody is watching…do disgusting things….
Scarcely believable a local authority would let it get into this shocking state. Who works at these places, can't they see how staggeringly wrong it all is? And what sort of society have we become where so many people either contribute to the scandal or ignore it because it is
Two and a half years ago, after complaining about the flytipping endlessly, I decided to fly a drone and show the true extent of the problem. Thankfully, the road has now been shut off & cleared, but the land around is still full of litter.

The pungent aroma of discarded rubbish is also filling the woodlands of the South Downs. Yes there are lots of lovely green hills but it’s also one of the largest illegal rubbish dumps in the U.K. But as you say it needs reporting to someone else as it’s not your problem…
A country in MAJOR decline and hardly anyone cares. Celebrities & prominent people with a large public & social media presence must drive along these disgusting roads & see this pollution on a daily basis but there is barely a murmur from any of them. What on earth is going on?

Weak, pathetic sentencing for criminals is no deterrent. Just build the biggest and most basic prisons. Dish out long sentences & feed them the cheapest food. No internet or TV. And make them work every day cleaning up the millions tons of rubbish strewn all around our country.
How can this possibly stand? How can demand, cause and supply not be recognised as a joint venture? To which hell on this pitiful Earth are we heading so glibly?

Vegetables are nutritious and relatively cheap. And why is there is a proliferation of unhealthy fast food outlets in poorer areas? Not many of these go out of business….
Why on earth do people take the trouble to pick up dog poo, put in a bag then dump the bag on the floor or hang it from a tree? Do they think the magic dog poo fairy is going to collect? I see these dumped bags everywhere & these mindless people are sick & very, very weird.
@cleanupbritain
💯 agree. It’s beyond shocking now & would take an army of men and women years to clean up the disgusting mess. But there isn’t an army of anyone doing anything. Just a few caring individuals & local groups who are fighting a losing battle against the vermin who cause this.

Probably not far from the truth and I also see a lot of red bull cans littering dead end roads which only have big expensive houses at the end of them. It won’t be the residents littering their own private roads so can only be tradesmen or delivery drivers 🤷♂️
The NOT walk PAST bit is crucial to changing the habits of our citizens. Littering needs to be as socially unacceptable as other disgusting and anti-social behaviour.
