Walking in Holborn, London yesterday and the streets were dirty, bin bags everywhere and overall just uncleanliness was obvious.
Why and what has caused this? Previously it was not as unclean.
Yeah, why is that?
Watch as the Eternal Labourite squirms
Council cutbacks and also people not taking responsibility for their own rubbish.
"Underfunded" "Cutbacks" "Austerity" "Tories"
I would say that dipsosable consumerism has contriubted to it.
Japan is famous for being clean and also has excessive plastic packaging on everything
how close /r/uk is to Saying It
where did all this peepeehead behaviour suddenly come from since 2021
I'm sure it has nothing to do with Camden council spending nearly 2 BILLION pounds on pension obligations
"CUTBACKS could be here", he thought. "I hate LACK OF INVESTMENT."
Haven't seen that one in a while
People are eating a lot more packaged convenience food and snacks than they used to.
Oh yeah I remember seeing that somewhere
Bins were removed due to the troubles then more after 9/11 and 7/7.
!deathtomicks as usual the perfidious hibernian is to blame
This was utterly fricking astounding. Might be the literal first time.

It's a culture on not giving a shit, and not valuing tidiness.
Garbage collection is free for all residents where I live, yet most houses in predominantly Black communities have giant trash heaps in their backyard. Ex:

There are over 500,000 people in Halifax, so I figured you could use a headstart.
I assure you though, that I don't live in a shithole like North Preston.....

The city here gave trash cans to every house in the city so that the garbage trucks could use some sort of automation to collect the garbage quicker. Everyone has these giant green cans sitting outside your house and it's like $20 a month to get a second one if you have a big family or something.
At the same time, they also banned burning your garbage in the city limits.
Well in the ghetto, we ended up with lots of green cans empty blowing around the streets and the fire department won't come issue tickets for burning trash since it's too racist… also then they probably wouldn't be able to fight actual fires since they would be issuing tickets 24/7
But my green garbage can at my business? People inexplicably stop and dump their garbage in my can instead of just using theirs… I don't understand black people at all
Putting the

Yeah you can slice it however you want but it comes down to giving a shit about your community. I once lived in an "up and coming" neighborhood (i.e. rent's doubling from all the upcoming yuppies) and there was hardly any darn litter in the street. Before that I lived in a more melanin-dense area. Trash. Everywhere. There were bins every 200 feet. It basically took making the conscious decision to shit up your neighborhood to get to that state.
