The extra mess that these selfish people have created on the beach has greatly added to the environmental damage. Miles of the beach are now covered with discarded wrapping and litter, as if the original beaching of the containers wasn't bad enough.

And don't forget how those lovely, lovable little Del Boys set light to stuff they didn't want.

Curious, too, how the police went out of their way to say that the worst culprits were organised gangs. Hardly the cheeky, three-wheel van driving tosspot from Peckham.

Good to see society has advanced in the 21st Century. Notice one of the fist people interviewed has driven all the way from Liverpool. Nuff said.

You are exactly right Andy. Most of the containers were still secure when they came onto the beach and were forced open by scavengers. They were extremely lucky not to be arrested. The cost of the clean up will probably fall on the local taxpayers, as the ship's insureres will argue, with some justification, that had not the containers been tampered with the clear up would have been much simpler and the Police should have stopped the looting earlier than they did.
