MPs call for 'clean up tax' on chewing gum

MPs call for 'clean up tax' on chewing gum

People who buy chewing gum, cigarettes or fast food should be made to pay a "clean up tax" to tackle Britain's growing litter problem, according to an influential committee of MPs.

How about a clean up tax on MPs who fiddle their expenses?

And I dispose of any wrappings in the right place and do not litter at all. In fact I despise those that do.

SO I should be penalised for the police's lack of action to fine litter louts? They could make a small fortune if they sat outside McDonalds in the evening and pinched the 18 year old yobs who just throw their wrappers and boxes out on to the car parks. Or on the streets on their way home.

But its easier and more profitable to stand on a street corner with a speed gun and nick mototorists, innit?
