I just don't understand the mentality of people who just drop their rubbish where they stand. Does it not feel wrong?

Name and shame them show their faces

Excellent!

Hi guys, I would recommend a great Solar Lights seller on Amazon which I bought from and used for years, really got great fun and charming lighting atmosphere around house. Here is the beautiful Solar post cap lights I like so much :

Bloody good job, filthy scumbags

Yes....pick it up ...lazy brain-dead !!!

...And about bloody time, too!!

Kids riding their bikes around London do Willies on the road in London with no police around

And jail for 6 months..🤔

What, no 'Name and Shame'?

Karma.

Should have been arrested as well

Good absolute scumbags 😡

Nice. Some good news finally. This should happen to every single person that drops litter. Especially those dog poo bags.

Most litter is primarily left by the younger generation who then bleat on about the older generation destroying the planet for their generation. Seen waste (McDonald's primarily) dumped on a car park with bins in easy reach many times. Spoilt little fuckers...

Well done gents a good piece of police work

Court appearance and then the stocks so we can throw their footers waste at them.

Is that all they got for stopping on a motorway to dump rubbish.

Even chase after it onto the busy lanes?

Good and a hefty fine wouldn't go amiss !

Brilliant

OfficiallyMJB

That's national news, right?,

Good.

Should name and shame them! Think about the workers who would have had to pick it up in potentially dangerous conditions.

👏

I don’t condone this in any way but often the local councils are too strict about collecting rubbish and don’t allow people to put household rubbish into public bins

Why would anyone do this in the first place?

Old news, do keep up DefundTheBBC

Now let's do all those that dump rubbish on mountains and other beauty spots!

👏 about time!

and fined plus his driving license removed from him

Take them straight to court. Hopefully they would be heavy fined.

Car should have been crushed and a big fine

Soft touch Britain no fine

Fine the Cnut

So they drove to the next junction and did the same thing.

Should have made them eat it....

To me this story seems a bit strange, why pull into a emergency bay on the M6 in full view of cameras why not just dump the bag I think this is a publicity stunt just to say no littering

Give out larger fines. Our environment and biodiversity is more important than some twats who can’t be asked to find a bin

Why blur their faces? ID them. The ridicule from people who recognise them would be a far worse deterrent

Good....for less than £15, you can buy a car bin on Amazon (or just chuck it in the back like most people until you get home)

He should have been forced to eat it.

Excellent ☺

Bone idol cunts everywhere!

stern warning ? wtf. what about a fine ? where is the deterrent? even when caught red handed.

Why would they do that when they have a car to take it to a proper bin ?

CANADA US CIA EUGENICS CHURCH. CIVILIZED? THE GREAT DARKNESS THE CHILDREN SACRIFICED

I hope they were also booked and charged for using a rescue area inappropriately and fined for the initial littering. Otherwise I’m afraid they probably just went somewhere else and dumped it again 🤷‍♀️
