Massive littering at Trafalga square

[Puppycow]

Bingo. I was there the morning after St Patrick’s Day not that many years ago. It was an absolute mess.

Don't you think that it might be a bit messier than usual on the morning after St Patrick’s Day?

Here is an article on the litter.

I blame Trump. If he wasn't such a fascist, those nice people wouldn't have had to protest him.

Don't you think that it might be a bit messier than usual on the morning after St Patrick’s Day?

Or after a massive street protest?

This why we can’t have good things, people.

I trust most of us are aware that rational Brits call it the Daily Fail. There is a reason some people buy it or look at it.....Page three girls!!

First sentence, fine. Second sentence - that's The Sun, not the Daily Mail.

Maybe next time use a different picture, WP. I don't see so much as one errant piece a paper anywhere in that entire photo! Everything nice and orderly. And fine selection of printed newsletters. What's not to like?

Don't you think that it might be a bit messier than usual on the morning after St Patrick’s Day?

And after a Trump protest.

Really, nothing to see here.

I know. It's supposed to be a pro-Trump "gotcha" but it's pretty weak sauce.

What does the scene of a Trump rally look like after it's over and all the people leave? Think they leave any litter behind?

I was going to make a prediction about this the day before these indolent wastes-of-space had their little street-party "protest march".

They're always the same, where ever and whenever they're given the chance to get away with this **** - turn a locale into a shambles and expecting someone else to bear the cost of clearing up after them.

But hey, it's 'make work' overtime for the local council workers, isn't? Creative destruction! Socialism in action!

It's a point of view I guess. Personally I also remember the Riot Wombles after the disturbances in 2011. Yes it was a bit twee and privileged, but it also made a real difference.

Horses for courses.

Trash including discarded signs littered the square in messy heaps. The area looked like a dump. Reading the signs I read "Stop Trump" what exactly do people want Trump to stop doing?

As is usual, it will have been cleared away within hours. Trafalgar Square is a traditional place of demonstrations, the local authorities are used to it, and that's nowhere near the messiest it's even been.

Trafalgar Square is a filthy place at the best of times, as is most of London.

I can confirm that. Our back garden currently looks like a jungle.

What do you expect from those Irish?

I have said that about the daily mail for years.

Ah, the Revolutionary Communist Group. The first four words on that banner are actually the name of their "newspaper," complete with exclamation marks after each -ism.

Based on my own trip to London, that doesn't sounds exceptional.

That's The Sun you're thinking of. The Daily Heil would never be so tawdry, but they do excel as long-lens shots of "celebrities" in their swimwear, and very much deserve being mocked like this and this.

Yeah, those goddamned libtards, always leaving a mess everywhere they go!

It's really a sad demonstration of tribalism when someone accuses their political opponents of being the sole people who engage in activities that are ubiquitous to human existence.

Litter in Trafalgar Square? Nelson tries to keep it clean but with such a big job he could use a hand.
