MikeAs much as volunteer litter picking is a good thing here in the UK, surely it's a very visible signal that our public services aren't working.I regularly see posts (in other places) appluading 'litter wombles' but all they are doing is plastering over the deficiencies that local councils have been forced into. It should be the job of the public bodies to do this - not pensioners putting themselves at risk doing this.At risk? You ask - yes they are regularly seen on the verges alongside major roads, and as I know from my time on the canal towpaths, 'litter' encompases everything from needles, broken glass, to dead animals and shit. So yes, it's a risky game for unpaid volunteers.So, just like food banks, volunteer litter picking is a sign of a failing british society.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpolitics</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/volunteers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#volunteers</a>
