Radio script: Speaker's corner.
Jeremy Vine: Good afternoon and welcome to Hell FM, I'm Jeremy Vine and you are listening to Speaker's Corner. That was the lovely Beyonce's “Drunk in Love”. Today's guest is Adrian who will be talking about that lovely subject- rubbish.
Adrian : Thank you Jeremy. Do you, like me feel we are living in a rubbish bin?
Where ever you go, whatever you do, you see rubbish everywhere. But not only once in a blue moon, always! And where did the the rubbish came from? They are dropped by our fellow human being's. Would you believe it if I say Britain's 'litter epidemic' costs almost £1bn every year?
Who drops the litter? I would say the first group is the working people that are paying taxes so they think they have the right to drop litter because they pay to clear it. WRONG! The other group is the benefit seeking litter louts. They dont pay taxes so they think its absolutely OK to drop anything. WRONG AGAIN! We should be thankful to those “nutters” wasting our taxes that could be spent for important thing like improving our roads, free education or a better NHS service.
Who picks the litter? Someone who is employed to do that. But those workers are paid from tax payer's money so at the end of the day we, the taxpayers pay for litter picking. But let me ask you a question. Don't we have any unemployed people? Picking up litter is exactly the kind of useful unskilled task we should be asking people to do in exchange for their benefits. There's no reason to pay healthy people to sit around all day doing nothing when there are things we need done. If they had to pick up the litter what others had dropped, they would think twice to do it next time.
What's the reason someone drops litter? Laziness, behaviour, lack of education. People are unconcern about litter as they live in a throwaway society and the rubbish becomes just part of the street furniture that we live with and ignore.
Let me tell you a story: once I've been enjoying
