His list of proposals include:

- A “galvanising” national goal to reduce the amount of litter
- Councils to sort dumping of fridges, mattresses and broken cars
- Action to stop phone boxes and street furniture being covered in graffiti
What a bastard /s.
“including “large and instant fines” for passengers playing music on public transport”
I hope he means people playing music without headphones, otherwise I’ll be screwed.
I do dislike people playing music or watching tiktok so I could get on board with this. Not sure how it would be enforced though.
What does an instant fine mean anyway?
Like they have to pay it on the bus they’re not allowed to get off until they’ve paid the fine.
A lot of (all of what he’s suggesting) is nice in principle but totally unenforceable.
Instead of fines, he’d do better to improve social respect and pride in your community at a young age such that you grow up considerate of other people you have to share a community with. But that will probably be decried as child abuse or something.
It’s also funny that the tories are the party of small government so they’ll likely outsource it to some poor sap from G4S or similar.
