Do we need to clean up our beaches?
No, we need to guard them against immigrants, besides with all the extra stealth taxes I am paying, I don't have any more money to spare towards costal maintenance.

Lets put landmines on them! That'll keep imigrants and litter louts of them...

And we're off. Page 1 of an HYS about litter and some neanderthal has alreadly mentioned immigration. Perhaps HYS could have run a script that deletes mention of immigration, unless the topic is related to it? Oh, no that would be PC censorship wouldn't it? Free speech carries responsibility as well as rights.

It's the cackers amongst the peasantry that are ruining this for everyone. If you go to the sort of places where the unwashed hordes go - you know, the ones who think that spaghetti hoops on toast is international cuisine - you will find it is a pig sty.
If you go to the places that are unaccustomed to the rattle of cheap gold jewellery and the whiff of vinegar on chips, you will find an unblemished paradise.
I bet you daren't print this!

We agree on personal responsibility then? See there is hope for us all. By the way BillyBob has ANOTHER id Wilhelm Fink.

Personal responsibility is the beginning and the end of my philosophy.
I hadn’t noticed. It really is getting quite common, isn’t it.
I love it! Another HYS in which Philby and Flashman agree. Fantastic!

You're right about the debate, but in fact in the latest polls muslims were more supportive of the police than the rest of the population. We are being fed massive lies about the average muslim by the rightwing.

Who would YOU vote for? I recently moved into a flat in the same town as my folks. My folks(who own a house living in a nice area) got a UKIP leaflet and I didn't. I live in a rundown part of the town. This shows that UKIP are a bunch of Elitist snobs who only care about the opinions of the rich. All the other parties in the area gave me leaflets. I also hear they have former criminals in that party. Well I know who I will NOT be voting for. Nice name BTW.

I disagree with the underlying argument that somehow Margaret Thatcher and her politics are responsible for the litter problem in this country.
I was child of the Thatcher era, and contrary to the aforementioned hypothesis, the other day I was trying to explain to an 40 year old women, with a family of her own, why littering the shared car park around our block of flats was selfish and ill advised, only to be told to "It was none of my business"!

"No civilised country has the death penalty."

It is one of the many reasons why I would ban the working class from leaving their council estates. Politically correct my elbow, it is the cap wearing yobbos are the mostly guilty of this.

We already have lots of long-haired, unemployed, beach bums who hang around our south coast, having BBQ's all night, drinking Fosters and hoping to float on some c**p, tampon infested water using an old ironing board and thing they look great with bleach blonde hair and a fake tan. They are called 'Pretend Australians' and they only thing they aspire to is working in Fat Willies Surf Shack.
Give them a job picking up litter in the evenings to help pay for their charcoal and Fosters.

No civilised country has the death penalty. We should pick up our own litter. Research the word "irony" you clearly don't know what it means.

Dogs are, unfortunately, banned from too many beaches already for no fault of their own." - Andrew Watthay.
- dogs are banned from beaches as dried out dog faeces poses a health risk, causing blindness in children. Banning them is therefore the correct thing to do.[dunkel_racher], Zurich, Switzerland "
I actually said: It is the OWNERS who should pick it up in bags to avoid this problem.

It is true! George Bush CAN and WILL be brought into ANY HYS topic.

Ive sadly concluded that standards in our society have ceased to exist. With the population of chavs getting larger every year standards slip ever further into the mire. Then each generation becomes ever more ignorant, its no wonder to me that litter is on the increase. As long as the filth doesnt sully their immaculate white chav trainers the problem will continue.

Is this board populated by readers of the Daily Mail? The only ting that the majority of people have to say is some rant about how our moral fibre has been destroyed and young people lack respect.
Dilip Roy,
Are you one of these strange people who believe that we have never had it so good. You don't need to read the Daily Mail to see that this country is a mess and is only going to get worse unless something is done about it. It is not the country I want to bring my kids up in?
Do we need to clean up our beaches?
Why don't we just shoot all the young people. They are clearly responsible for all the ills of society with their individualistic ways and lack of respect. We who have taught them this are clearly beyond reproach however.
Do we need to clean up our beaches?
That is why we need a real government for the people, not the far right of Maggie and Tony Bliar, or left wing nanny state types, one run by the people for the people.

Like who? There is no one out there to offer you that choice...it is sad to say, but it is in times like these when Parties such as the BNP become more prevalent...just look at pre WW2 Germany.
As to beaches my local beaches are lovely and clean - but then we are a tourist area.

"Why does no-one ever understand this quote? It is so simple.
She meant that people should take responsibility for themselves and not rely on ‘the state’ to do everything."

Because they take it to mean what it says it means. If Maggie had meant anything else, she should have said that instead. This is the moment we knew Maggie had gone potty, like "we are a grandmother".

How this would apply to litter is that people should clear up after themselves, and not rely on e.g. council litter pickers.

I went on the BBC there is a link and I see what Harry F & Tre Cool say. Widuran is wrong in a way. However they also say the HR department is being investigated so maybe it isn't an offical policy.

Someone managed to get Bush into a debate on English beaches, now some bright spark has managed to bring their stereotyped view of illegal immigrants into it. Any predictions on this? I expect Brussels to be blamed soon, Americans generally, anyone left of the typical Daily Mail reader, ( that's most of us), and Tony Blair, (that's Bliar to idiots), for good measure.

The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) annual Beachwatch litter survey and clean-up has recorded increasingly high litter levels, from 1,045 items per kilometre in 1994 to 1,988.7 items of litter per kilometre in 2006.
The MCS says people are the biggest culprits, responsible for more than a third of the litter.
