Of course it's the fucking UK, just recently watched a documentary about volunteers facing charges because they were tired of the city taking way too long to clean a river so he took matters into his own hands and got other people to help and now i'm reading about him here.
The UK is so shit, Clarkson showed how the farmers were constantly battling idiots to get anything done, hope he will be successful in getting rid of these environmental agency idiots.
Little detail that the headline "accidentally" missed is that the side used an excavator and dug up half the river bed
Still this is kind of extreme, but at the same time,.it's not about a normal guy picking up some garbage, this is much more
If i remember correctly the agency had years to do something about it and they did nothing no plans just warnings for anyone that was interested in doing something and constant licensing and no interest in communicating with anyone.
This agency brought this on themselves with inaction and ineptitude.
