Row erupts over £30,000 paan spit clean-up in London: ‘Import the third world. Become the third world.’

Row erupts over £30,000 paan spit clean-up in London: 'Import the third world. Become the third world.'

A row broke out in London over the cost of cleaning up paan spit, with far-right activist Tommy Robinson weighing in with controversial remarks related to “third-world” people. In a post on X, Robinson said: “Import the third world. Become the third world. Not only are we to pay them to breed like rabbits, we’re paying to clean up their spit.”The issue comes as Brent Council revealed it spends more than £30,000 a year removing orange and brown colored paan stains from streets, shops, and public buildings in parts of north London, particularly around Wembley. Brent Council says the spit stains are difficult to remove, with “even high-powered cleaning jets” failing to fully erase them. In response, the local authority has pledged a “zero-tolerance approach,” including banners in three hotspot areas and officers patrolling the streets. Offenders face fines of up to £100, according to The Standard.According to NHS, health experts warn that chewing tobacco carries serious risks, including mouth and oesophageal cancer.Paan is a chewing tobacco popular within South East Asian communities, is a mixture of betel nut, leaf, herbs, and tobacco that produces a stimulant or narcotic effect. When chewed, it produces a dark-red residue that is spit out, usually on streets, pavements and walls.

Social media response:

1) Remember, you are paying for those signs and the manpower it took to hang those signs.

2) Vile. Zero respect. Everything is worse when you conduct mass uncontrolled migration.

3) They should be fined £1000 and night in jail and clean up cost.Only then they will get the lesson.Pathetic.

4) Gross, it’s also one of the most powerful oral carcinogens too I just found out.

5) Britain was beautiful and civilized once, then Labour took over. Look at it now.
