I mean, for fuck's sake.
How many more types of this crap are we going to see in the next decade do you reckon?
Would you pay? I fucking wouldn't.

Though rather than fining them money I'd make them do community service. Dropping one item of litter is perhaps not so serious an offence as to warrant community service, but any fucking twat caught 'tagging' a wall should be made to spend a week washing off graffiti.
There's your real reason, eventually we'll all be on file, by hook or by crooks.
Cattle prods should be used until these people apologise.
Because the government needs to find lotsa new cash to pay for it's stuff.
They will make more and more of this kind of shit up to pay the piper and still have that "no new taxes" vibe to them. Increased parking fines, and licence fees and speeding tickets and yadda yadda.
Bollocks. Money fixes fuck all.
Yep, good call, no ID cards? Well, guess what, if we crimialise everyone then it's easy to do by the back door. The real reason why makes me sick as well.
I tend to find myself in agreement with you here Klintock. Over the past month i've been charged an annual fee to park on my own road and heard of people been given £50 on the spot fines for dropping cigarette butts. I'm not disputing that littering is a problem but attaching excesive fines to things like that is nothing more than a calcualted stab at people's wallets. Everyone gets into the debate over how much people should be charged for such an offence and how wrong littering is, when they should be saying why the hell am i being fined for this! It's not as if council tax has being going up each year and that there is already a budget set aside for cleaning up litter from people taxes. It's simple diversionary, revenue generating tactics. Everyone focus is on the fact that the council is doing something about a litter problem and while all the time it's a front for revenue generation.
