## Resource

Reform UK is launching a war on litter with radical new penalties: up to $5,000 on-the-spot fines for fly-tipping, vehicle confiscation for repeat offenders, and a $20,000 mandatory fine for commercial dumping—with vehicles also seized. Deputy leader Richard Tice calls the crisis a “national disgrace,” blaming a society that’s “given up caring,” as incidents surged 9% to 1.26 million last year. The party also plans a “National Action Day” to reignite civic pride and threatens fast-food chains with license revocation for persistent littering. Meanwhile, other parties push for rewards for tip-offs, higher fines, driving-license points, and council powers to force cleanup—showing a nation united in disgust over Britain’s trash crisis.
