The amount of people looking for employees their is no need for any able body’s to be on the dole anyway, and if they are perhaps a spell at the littler encourage them to get a job , some need forced to work.
Prince Philip RIP

I agree that those collecting dole money should be doing litter picking or other jobs for the good of the nation. My grandfather said that the only time he was out of work was in the 1920's during the depression, he would get dole, or whatever it was then, one week and to get it the next week he would have to go out and sweep the streets.
As a bit of topic it does rankle about this new found "holier than thou" trend for litter picking in that there shouldn't be the bloody litter there in the first place. Also, what the feck do we pay rates to our local councils for to keep our towns and countryside rubbish free? They are responsible for the rubbish bins, collecting and disposal.

Some of the pensioners local to me go walking and collect the litter , I live very very rural, some call it remote , yo wouldn’t believe what they collect it’s unreal !! They do a great job, but why do people do it . ?
Perhaps they have a sense of pride in their surroundings/community, a trait sadly lacking in most of society. The trait most of society have is, why should I do this / that I pay my rates,taxes etc so I’m blowed if I am going to clear up other folks rubbish.
SOCIETY SEEMS TO LACK ANY, SELF HELP ATTITUDE, towards their own lives or the lives of others.
I admire those that DO help themselves and society.

Possibly that there was no need for blanket coverage, would have been a lot more than 109k complaints but they took down the site after a few hours. We are not all Royalists and have little interest in such matters.

The passing of Prince Philip to me represents the end of the war time generation that were born in the 20's...we owe so much to these for our freedom ,and freedom of speech .RIP
