'1984 has come to pass, the pig's rule but they are not the government, and these pigs are a disgrace to their race, they are not Tamworth, Gloucester Old Spot or even Large Whites, they are just plain Slobs.'
Gosh, I read that and in my head, that to me seems to be way over the top and I actually find some of the words to be very objectionable!
I too find litter annoying, where I run it's everywhere, by the side of the road, in bushes and thrown into streams BUT I never forget that in reality and with the will to do it, it's not that difficult to clear up either and for some, it's very easy to over exaggerate the problem. For example, there used to be a Government-funded scheme where people in jail could go out with a supervisor picking up such stuff. I remember seeing such groups pre the financial crash and they did a great job.
But for me personally, when I compare and contrast the eyesores of really bad buildings, waste industrial sites, and the massive pollution that we the public tolerate across the UK, or are totally helpless to get our Governments to justice to this litter 'problem', crisp packets, beer cans, fast food containers and the like, pales into insignificance! The litter on a beach, in woodland, in a hedge or down a street is essentially is a 'temporary' problem (if an ongoing plan exists to clear it up) but other pollution problems are 'permanent' in our lives.
So HOW come you have decided to bring 1984 come into this, what's your reasoning? Why are you calling people pigs? And what do you mean by 'these pigs are a disgrace to their race? RACE??? And then to use the word 'slobs,' how can you label individuals with such a slur? And even as you call people such names does it in any way whatsoever solve the problem, NO!
Litter has been a problem in the UK, I suspect since the beginning of time, it is definitely not a 'here and now' issue and in my opinion its a minuscule problem when compared with the worldwide pollution culprits, that supply us with the means to litter. To me it is very much a Government problem, it's not a 5-minute issue that will go when Covid-19 goes, it will still happen long after all of us are dead, so in order to try to get to grips with it, the Government needs an intelligent strategy for the here and now and for the future but guess what, there isn't one!
Sorry to get grumpy but litter really annoys me but comments like this annoy me too. I personally would like a Government led long term initiative, its no good blaming individuals, it will never work!
