BBC's Panorama ProgammeTonight About Litter

[Sark79]

Did anyone watch it?   

Bll Bryson presented the show about litter, fly tipping and our increasing problem in the UK with waste.

This got me thinking about my littering.

I drop a half eaten sandwich and the remains of my bag of crisps almost every day after lunch. My reason for dropping my leftovers on the street ( normally in a grassy area not frequented by people ) is a desire to feed birds rather than throw food into the bin.  I have waited a few minutes after doing this to see if my leftovers are actually eaten. Unsurprisingly seagulls,crows and starlings are the lucky birds who get a free feed.  I was concerned that I may be attracting vermin, however all my food is eaten almost before it hits the ground. I know some people see seagulls as vermin, but that is another argument.

Anyway to my question .  Am I a litter lout and could I be fined for dropping food?

I think we should have a cull of the gulls and hockers!

flying rats the lot of them, dont mind sparrows so much.

so what happens if you tell one of those council people who go around fining people to F off. wtf can they do? I noticed that they had a policeman there when they fined that guy on camera but presumably that's rarely the case irl
