The clean-up was done in collaboration with Pride, which paid for the cleaning of its official areas, provided extra bins and recruited litter pickers.So they knew in advance that the people attending this thing would behave like animals?
Wouldn't it have been better to simply provide extra council workers to hand out on the spot fines for littering, and then it'd pay for itself!
Meanwhile, down on the beach:
Volunteers showed up in their droves to help clean Brighton beach during Pride weekend.
But they were shocked by the number of laughing gas cannisters they found strewn across the pebbles.
By 10am yesterday several large bin bags had been filled with rubbish including a large number of sacks filled with the small metal containers.Just what is this to be 'proud' of...?
I'd love to see those Kingdom Environmental muppets get stuck into a pride march. It would be worth the comedy value...
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a bash that was organised by English Heritage called The Festival of History. Mainly a get together of re enactment types who like dressing up and pretending to fight. I've been a few times, it's good harmless fun and quite educational. When we were leaving at the end of it all, it struck me that there wasn't any litter strewn about. Educated folk who like their history appear to be more civilised.
ReplyDeleteI would assume that having one's rectal sphincter muscles stretched by the enlarged penis of a Village People wannabe is not really a laughing matter, perhaps it explains the use of these canisters. Anything to turn a grimace into a grin.

Indeed!
"...perhaps it explains the use of these canisters."
ReplyDeleteIt's very common to see them dumped at the kerbside, where a car has obviously pulled up to flytip them. I wonder what the effect on the driver is?
