That is what my parents taught me!
But that was back in the days before the UK was a third world nation kept firmly under the cosh by the human rights act and the strident one legged black and asian gay and lesbian PC brigade.
One Tory councillor is now being forced to grovel for daring to speak out in an honest manner..
There really is no hope for this country!!! Read it and weep.
A Tory councillor has been accused of prejudice after suggesting immigrants should be taught that dropping litter is unacceptable.
Lucy Ivimy highlighted the problem of a council estate where a communal garden was being ruined by rubbish thrown from flats.
She said Indians in particular viewed throwing rubbish out of windows as "normal" and should be "firmly told" not to.
She said an "educational exercise" should be carried out so they stopped littering.
Miss Ivimy, 53, who sits on the Tory-run Hammersmith and Fulham Council in London, outlined her concerns in an email to Nick Johnson, chief executive of H&F Homes housing association.
She had heard about the litter problem at a residents' association meeting last week.
Her email said: "I think we need to a) sort out some regular cleaning up of the garden and b) conduct an educational exercise to tell people not to throw stuff out of the window - particularly foreign born residents.
"I know that in India throwing rubbish out of a window and total disregard for the cleanliness of a public area is normal behaviour and I dare say a number would change behaviour if firmly told that in London this is not acceptable behaviour."
Stephen Cowan, leader of the Labour group on the council, said: "It's a minority of residents who throw rubbish outside of windows and leave it in corridors.
"They are from all backgrounds and there is continuous education about what is acceptable behaviour, but it is completely wrong to say it is just people from India and all this shows is her inherent prejudice." (what a wanker)
Miss Ivimy later said: "This was a hastily written, ill thought out, stupid, personal e-mail.
"On reflection of course I can see how the comments may be offensive. That was never my intention and therefore I apologise."
Why oh why is she apologising? its is the bloody truth!
