**Londoners! Join us Sunday, March 29th at noon as we stare futility in the face and laugh: we're joining tens of thousands of proud dorks nationwide who love their communities and want them to be more beautiful. We refuse to accept that life under capitalism means swimming in the unwanted filth of our plastic-addicted civilisation.** **Sturdy gloves, bags and picking tools will be provided, so just bring good shoes, durable clothing and a fearless determination. Joining us will be residents of the local area who need our help to bring some pride back to their neighbourhoods.** **We'll meet at noon at Abbey Wood station on the end of the Elizabeth Line, about 20 mins from central London. Our community partners will lead us onwards from around 12:30.** **The intrepid picker who picks the most will win a £10 Co-op gift card!** Why is LCC doing litter-picking? Read on for our analysis of why this form of mutual aid is both necessary and weirdly fun. \-\-\-\- Have you noticed that lately, the filth seems to be spreading? Living in a great megalopolis like London, it's easy to gaslight ourselves into believing that it's always been like this, that "cities are just dirty"; and anyway if there's a problem, the council should solve it! What else do we pay taxes for? But no, it's not your imagination. Halfway through the 2020s and we really are living through an [unprecedented explosion](https://wastedirect.co.uk/guides/fly-tipping-statistics/) in fly-tipping and general filth. It's true that, [across the country,](https://www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/economic-growth/regional-development/2024/01/council-bankruptcy-tracker-local-government-authorities-finances) many of the local governments whose job it is to collect trash are going bankrupt or getting close. In Birmingham, which went bankrupt in 2023, this financial situation has provided cover for a refusal to pay sanitation workers a fair wage, leading to one of the [longest all-out strikes](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crleyz0d557o) in modern British history and sky-high rubbish piles - even as the council says it's [no longer](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crleyz0d557o) bankrupt. None of this really explains what's going on in London, where local authorities are still mostly solvent and sanitation workers not on strike, at least after Tower Hamlets [settled its dispute](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66917779) a few years ago. This despite the fact that London has some of the [highest fly-tipping rates](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/fly-tipping-uk-map-ranked-worst-b2705154.html) in the country. To our historical-materialist minds here at LCC HQ, there are bigger forces than councils at work, namely: the exhaustion of the global supply chain in recycling and waste on the one hand, and on the other, the ongoing colonisation of our spectacularly corrupt political economy by organised crime. These days there's simply too much trash for councils to deal with, at any price - which is where fly-tipping comes in. Without most of us being aware, China - once the [leading importer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%27s_waste_import_ban) of the world's waste - quietly [stopped accepting westerners' trash in 2018 as part of National Sword](https://e360.yale.edu/features/piling-up-how-chinas-ban-on-importing-waste-has-stalled-global-recycling). Having allowed the [recycling and waste-processing infrastructure](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/09/britain-2bn-recycling-industry-export-plastic-waste) necessary to deal with it ourselves to collapse along with the rest of our industry, since foisting it on the Global South is more to our liking, we are now swimming in an ocean of garbage with no idea what to do with it. A paltry 600,000 tons of waste, including valuable recyclables, is now being dumped abroad annually - and with Indonesia [having just joined China in banning waste imports,](https://seasia.co/2025/09/06/indonesia-ends-plastic-waste-imports-amid-growing-environmental-concerns) it's no wonder that things are really starting to get bad here. Perhaps this explains why over the past couple years, [criminal gangs have been porting millions of tonnes of our junk](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/organised-crime-fly-tipping-police-environment-agency-b2853238.html) away from the cities, mostly to illegal "mega-tip" sites in the countryside. We've already [buried ancient woodlands and bluebell fields in Kent](https://news.sky.com/story/ancient-bluebell-woodland-smothered-in-illegal-waste-as-campaigners-tell-authorities-to-do-the-right-thing-13125165) under hundreds of tonnes of rubbish; we all saw the news about [Kidlington's 150m long, 15m wide, 10m high super-tip.](https://news.sky.com/story/kidlington-fly-tipping-two-men-arrested-over-rubbish-dumped-in-oxfordshire-field-13500924) Now that these sites have become too large to ignore, suddenly laws are being enforced out there. As of writing, it seems that the chickens have come home to the cities to roost: fly-tipping gangs are now simply leaving our alleys, parks and road by-passes strewn with a distributed, ever-growing network of waste piles. A situation now exists where the reality of waste has become impossible to ignore in the traditional way, that of putting it in the bin and forgetting its existence: the streets are proof that, in the age of plastics, nothing can ever really be "thrown away". In fact, there is no *away.* Alongside the proliferation of chemical waste, human shit and other effluvia now coursing through our rivers and water tables, we can add the trash crisis to Britain's overall *sanitation crisis.* So what? Like so much about life under modern capitalism, from the Epstein revelations to skyrocketing food insecurity, the mind looks for an escape route when confronted with the scale of the problem. British leftists raised on a steady diet of *Novara Media*-style social-democratic welfarism will protest: working-class people work hard enough without having to clean their own streets! The government needs to fund waste collection properly, rebuild our recycling plants and crack down on the fly-tippers! All that may be true. But Britain doesn't have a government, it has an occupying army of capitalist parasites wearing a liberal-democratic skin suit. They're not going to help us and they never will, because there is no sanitation crisis inside their gated communities. What's a proletarian supposed to do? Live with the indignity? Get used to living like an unloved animal, just because conditions outside are like a pigsty? You can definitely write your councillor, petition Parliament, and generally campaign for a state-led clean-up. But if we've seen much evidence of anything in politics in the last twenty years, it's that this kind of activism is niche. Too niche to make much of a difference. This won't change from the "top down", with one more big push by activist groups to get everyone involved in their letter-writing campaign. People, largely, lack the confidence to get involved in anything political. To rebuild that confidence, we need to work from the bottom up. Many hands make light work, as the saying goes - workers together can really transform an area in the space of an afternoon, if enough of them rally to the task. In this case, we're working from the *very* bottom: picking up trash may not represent even a small-scale political "victory", but having a more beautiful local street or park does make for a marginally more enjoyable daily life. Meeting and building solidarity with other people who love their community and aren't afraid to put some work in to make it better is also a powerful reason to get out there. Not quite "another world is possible", but maybe this - especially for those who are looking for a community of like-minded people - could be a step towards achieving that consciousness. Litter-picking groups have [grown in popularity across Britain](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgnne5mmz7o), but not so much London as of yet. Why? Maybe we think we're too cool for something so profoundly dorky, thankless and Sisyphean. Isn't the trash just going to come back? Maybe - but one must imagine Sisyphus happy. So pull on those work gloves and join us for a bit of litter-picking! https://www.tcv.org.uk/media_hub/litter-picking-a-beginners-guide/

**Spring is here, the days are getting longer, and we're celebrating the best way we know how - with our latest Social Walk, Games & Pub Trip!** Yep and for this latest adventure, we'll be hiking along the along one of our favourite walking routes - along the waterways of east London, from Limehouse to Hackney 🌳 The event will start from St James Gardens, near Limehouse and to kick things off - we'll be starting with our usual mix of fun games designed to help you break the ice and help you meet some friendly new faces.

**Welcome to UK Mafia!** On Saturday the 28th, we meet at **The Hydrant (Monument)** on the **Second Floor** (see large function room). It is near **London Bridge**. 1 Monument St, London EC3R 8BG **Do I need to know anything beforehand?** This is a **beginner-only** event, and everyone will be playing with us for the first time. You will get to play many games. Most importantly, this is a social activity, so feel free to talk to anyone between the games and have fun! \* *If you played with us before, beginner+ and intermediate+ tables are available at the Kings Arms (65 Newcomen Street SE1 1YT). It takes less than 10 min to walk between Hydrant and Kings Arms\** **️‍♂️ What is Mafia?** Have you seen 'The Traitors'? Play the game that 'Traitors' is based upon! Mafia is a 10-player social game; it can get competitive, but it's easy to learn. We play at multiple tables. You get a secret role and work with your team to win. A game lasts about 45 minutes, so we play many during the day. The **Mafia team** tries to hide and eliminate the **Citizens**, while the **Citizens** try to find the Mafia through deduction and logic. While this is a **beginner-only** event, we also host tournaments and online events with more experienced players from around the world. Ask us about our online games and trips abroad!✈️ *** **[How to Play?](https://bit.ly/HowToPlayMafia)** We will teach you how to play when you arrive. You will quickly see that the game has two phases: **Night:** * The Mafia secretly targets a Citizen * The *Don* (Mafia) learns if a player is the *Sheriff* * The *Sheriff* (Citizen) learns if someone is Mafia ☀️ **Day:** * Each player says in their turn who they think the Mafia are * Then, everyone votes publicly to eliminate one player The game continues until the Mafia are eliminated or they outnumber (or equal) the Citizens.

We have a lot of regulars who have been enjoying our group for years. If you sign up and can not make it, you must drop out by 8pm Friday. If you drop out later you will be taken off any games you sign up to play the next week. If you cannot make it but are on the waitlistist, please drop out before midnight aswell. If you are put through to play and dont show up, the same rule applies. We are strict on these rules as we like the games as even as possible, plus someone else could have made it off the wait list! You have to join the whatsapp group for the exact location. We play between the skate park and band stand. **Set up:** Clapham is set us as two pitches, each with a 10 aside game. We make 4 teams of 10(as evenly as possible skills wise) and play three 30 minute games. Each team will face one another by the end. **GAME RULES:** 1\. Rotate keeper every 10 minutes\. Everyone must go in 2\. No slide tackles\. 1 warning only\. This is due to it being casual and varied in skill level\. 3\. Be inclusive\. Pass to everyone and be positive\. Anyone who says anything rude to another player will be warned once and then asked to leave\. We recommend you wear plastic studs(metal are not allowed) or AstroTurf boots. Shin pads are optional but most people don't wear them. We have colour bibs so please wear what you want in those regards.

Hey Terrible Footballers! We play in Regent Park. See the map above or follow the below whatsapp link. Leave a message and someone will respond on Saturday night. Sometimes we have openings as late as that and this is when final list is finalised.So feel free to add your name to the waitlist. Everyone is welcome! That means every skill level, gender, sexuality etc. Just gotta be over 18! No one gets upset if we miss a pass.... or the ball altogether! Skills vary from old semi-pro players all the way to never kicked a ball. We weren’t fibbing when we said inclusive. Please bring a BLACK and WHITE tshirt. Please aim to arrive at 10:15 (ideally 10:15am to help out in the setting up) as we want to kickoff at 10:30. (If you arrive late after kick off, you may have to wait around half hour for the next half). Please sign up early (during the week if possible), check the meetup page for the week and our Whatsapp group for any last minute changes. Follow this link to join us on whatsapp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HLps3JK0kSmHR2vuJj1VDu The game will normally go ahead come rain or shine if we have the numbers. Some important information: • Age 18+ • Terrible Football meet-ups are extremely popular but unfortunately we have limited spaces. If you end up on the waiting list, please wait and see if a spot becomes available. We will have to check who has RSVP-ed if too many show up and will have to turn people away if they’re not on the list. • Please show up on time! If you have RSVP-ed but don’t show up on time, we will have to give your spot to someone else! If you show up after we have started playing, and no one else has taken your spot, you might still be asked to sit the first half out in order to prevent confusion. There is nothing worse for organisers than people showing up late! • As mentioned above, we don’t charge, however, if you are a regular, we do ask you to donate some money once or twice a year for the upkeep and new equipment. For any questions, please contact one of the organisers. See you there! TFC Team
