Answer 1

Good for them.  We don't want disgusting people leaving their disgusting litter everywhere.  Take it home or get fined - sounds good to me.  Have some respect for your environment and other people.

Answer 2

just about sums britain up

Answer 3

Britain is a rubbish place to live, the country has gone to the dogs.

Answer 4

You are not obligate to join in and give them a single nickle, just act like a decent citizen and don't litter.  I guess I would have to ask the opposite question, my God what is the world coming to if people actually think it is OK to just dump their trash anywhere for someone else to pick up???  Pretty tacky!!!

Answer 5

Point is, if nobody dropped their rubbish they wouldn't make any money from it. Then they would maybe start looking at the other annoying things

Answer 6

How else can Hastings Borough Council make money. They certainly don't from tourism!! :)

Answer 7

I wonder why some of these people don't walk away with a very bloody nose or do they just pick on people who they know won't give them one

Answer 8

More people smoke out in public and drop their cigs on the ground, therefore council is making more money than they would with people being drunk and I don't think this is a law that prohibits spitting...=/

Answer 9

simple answer dont drop and you wont get fined!! that way the dont make money.

Answer 10

That seems a mighty steep a price to pay for littering, a bunch of government types don't get enough money from taxation so they play gotcha with the population at large.

However smoking is a vile habit anyway and people should not just throw their slimy butts on the sidewalk or the street.  I mean do you p**s on the sidewalk?
