The reality of streets in the UK is plain for all to see. It’s a damaged bench. It’s a pile of litter left in a corner beside a wall. It’s a bit of dangerous material like broken glass or a syringe left over.
It’s also in our way. It’s not in alleyways. I find it on high streets, in public parks, and along residential streets.
There’s a facet to antisocial behaviour that it’s meant to get in our way. The addiction is a cry for help but the antisocial behaviour we get isn’t about assistance.
It’s all about a hatred of who we are. It’s about making a nuisance for us to clear up. It’s about a law that isn’t a law but an attitude that is meant to affront all of us.
