Keep Britain Tidy campaign should 'bin the filth', say campaigners

The Keep Britain Tidy campaign should take its own advice and ''bin the filth'' by removing posters which use ''offensive'' sexual innuendo, campaigners have said.

The posters – which use phrases including ''trim my bush'', ''see the size of our Fanny's'', and ''Are you a dirty Chucker?'' – were ''offensive and inappropriate'', the Plain English Campaign said.

They are part of Keep Britain Tidy's ''youth litter'' campaign and are marked as appropriate for anyone over the age of 15.



''This one belongs right in the bin,'' a spokeswoman for the Plain English Campaign said.

''This might be considered plain-talking by some, and humour is often a good way to get a message across, but most people who have seen them can't believe they are real.

''Others simply don't understand what the slang references have to do with the serious issues of health and our environment. We advise the Keep Britain Tidy team to take their own advice and bin the filth.''
