UK's mindless, hostile & aggressive local councils
Stoke-on-Trent couple fined £1,200 after clearing up rubbish
Their road had been blighted with “disgusting” #litter for years.
But after Mr Pinter cleaned up some of the rubbish and left it out in a cardboard box by the full bins, the pair each received £600 fines.
The city council said all fly-tippers would be punished with fixed penalty notices and considered the matter resolved.
Ms Mike, 41, said people would often dump waste around the bins on their street which she claimed would not get collected and would attract animals.
I’m actually afraid to walk past it in the street because I’ve seen a lot of #rats and what looks like stray cats
Mr Pinter, 46, collected the rubbish into the box, which had his name printed on it, on 29 April after seeing the litter blowing around.
He said the bins on the street were full so he had to leave the box next to them in the hope it would be collected.

Intergalactic litter bugs too, we humans...._
A NASA helicopter took photos of wreckage from a rover that landed on Mars. It's yet another example of how humans are polluting other worlds.
Gee, maybe Elon Musk could fix it, deploying, say, tomorrow?!
