feeding the ducks? That's a £75 fine

Another case of 'you couldn't make it up' reported by the Telegraph
A mother was given a £75 litter fine for feeding the ducks at her local park but her son was allowed to carry on because a warden said he was too young to prosecute.
What the fuck is wrong with these people? Bread is biodegradable and therefore not a litter problem. The end.

So are leaves. But not, it appears, to councils collecting them from the street...

"She said she will now take Harry to another park where feeding is permitted."

This is the country where we used to be able to do anything that was not forbidden; now we may only do what is permitted.
