On my way down to the post office this morning, I counted 14 (YES FOURTEEN) discarded LATEX GLOVES and 7 masks from Upland Road to the corner of Northcross Road and the High Street, either in the gutter or actually on the pavement. This is a shout out to those irresponsible idiots who think this is ok? It's amazing how the same people will probably 'bag and bin' what their dogs leave behind yet haven't got the common sense to bag and responsibly dispose of possibly LETHAL personal protective equipment. I saw a child pick up a glove and 'take it to mum' who was horrified and instantly wiped the childs hands with an antiseptic wipe!!! Here's also a shout out to the woman getting into her black BMW SUV parked along from M&S about 10:40am this morning who removed her mask and threw it into the road. She knows who she is. I am going out later this afternoon with a bin liner and garden 'grabbers' to clean up the ones I saw earlier.This is utterly unbelievable.

Whilst I completely agree that it is atrocious for people to discard used PPE like this, and am not for a minute excusing this, there seem to be very few bins provided in supermarket car parks, and also very few on the streets. We're told that gloves must be taken off carefully to avoid contaminating your hands, and that we must not touch the outside of masks. I keep a supply of plastic bags ready to put my used masks and gloves into, which I can tie up until I get home, but if people don't think to have a bag handy to put their used items into, I think it must be quite frustrating to know what to do with them when they have finished their shopping. Perhaps the answer would be for shops to make a supply of plastic bags available by checkouts so that people can take one to put their used PPE in?

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
