“It will take us a while to digest what we saw when we went to help rescue tents and equipment for a refugee charity yesterday at the end of the Leeds Festival. This is just a fraction of it – littering on the biggest scale we’ve ever witnessed. Utterly appalling,” wrote @MrJackLowe on the microblogging platform. He also shared a video.
