@ian_styles @cleanupbritain Depressing conversation. People think the problem here isn't the rubbish but the people throwing it away. So I suppose you think the rubbish is OK if people "take it home" or "put it in a litter bin". Sorry, folks. A bin is only a temporary container. It ends up in the sea.

@ian_styles @cleanupbritain I wasn't talking about blame. The question was how to prevent it. Why talk about blame when it does nothing to stop the problem? I was offering a way to stop the blameworthy activity.

@MachoRicho @cleanupbritain No it's political. The quickest and best way to end the use of throwaway packaging is by ending it. You can blame the culture, but if you want to change the culture you have to make it easy for people to get out of the habits they've been taking for granted. Plastic is deadly.

@Dena_Walemy @cleanupbritain The litter is the single use packaging. Nothing else. It's a phenomenon that starts and ends with throwaway packaging.

@ian_styles @cleanupbritain No. A competent government will see what needs to be done.

@PeterBoneUK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have that bunch of people noticed what's going on?

@cleanupbritain End single use packaging and all kinds of plastic wrapping. Bring your own container the only way to buy take away food and drink. Or wrapped in newspaper if you've got no box.
As it used to be.
The solution is easy. People can quickly adapt. Just needs a competent government.

This is classic Tory "ethics".

@embournemouth You can be sure that they'll claim they weren't told about that when we try to get an inquiry into the lies and negligence. They're still trying to believe that only the lazy good for nothing unemployed and old people get badly ill, and it would be better to let them die.

@spagettihetti So yes, they do want tax these days, because they've set up a siphon that directs public funds from taxation into private companies supplying government contracts that funnel £billions 💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷from the treasury to their pockets. 😕

@spagettihetti No they want profits for share holders. They can't stand having the proletariat idle, because the rich can only make their fortunes if they have a way of exploiting the labour of the workers or otherwise extracting an unfair share of the gains.
