All the toe-rags and asbo wearers should be made to spend 10 hours a day cleaning every scrap of shite up!I walked along the canal from Mayalls to the DW today,the rubbish,plastic bottles,dog turds in bags,blankets,carrier bags,you name it littered all along the canal towpath was a fecking disgrace.

All the toe-rags and asbo wearers should be made to spend 10 hours a day cleaning every scrap of shite up!Good post and i agree with it but would you trust the sort of people you mention to carry out a responsible job such as this?
When i was a young unemployed male in my teens i took a temporary job for 12 months cleaning and improving the very stretches of canal you mention.The towpaths,fences,walls,gates and the trees were all tidied up and improved-indeed the path is still in excellent condition around the Appley Bridge to Gathurst stretch and used by many people today.A small wooded area was also planted beyond the Appley Bridge stretch and again is still used today.
They paid us £34 per week unemployment money and i worked four days a week for an extra £26 on top of this.I was out working and i could also attend job interviews and i began my career in financial services from this point and im still in the profession today.
I met some great people on this job and im still friends with some of them today.The value of all this far out weighed the cost of it to the state and i estimate that the entire cost of this project was no more than £150 grand.take away the benefits the lads would have claimed and this cost becomes far less.
There are loads of jobs like this that need doing and its about time this started again.
I look back and im very proud of the work we did to improve the leeds liverpool canal area-it was far better than lazing about all day-great times!
