Twitters users joined him to express their disgust.
One said: "I'm ashamed by my fellow man sometimes. There is no excuse for dropping litter anywhere, but this is disgusting behaviour."

Another commented: "That carpark is full of CCTV maybe fines for the cars owners that have done this. Absolutely disgusting."
One person posted: "I know the bin is full, but upon discovering that why can't people take stuff with them and dispose of it in a not full bin on the way home? Or at home? Some poor schmuck has to clean that up and guaranteed they are not paid enough."

KFC told the Evening Standard: “We’re really pleased to see the people of Bury have missed us and we’re glad to be back - but with a lot of our cleaning partners still on furlough, it a little trickier than usual to stay nice and tidy.
“Being a good neighbour is important to us, so we’ll carry on upping our regular litter picks - and we’d encourage our guests to take their litter with them or put it in the bin where possible.”
KFC closed all its stores on March 23 when the country went into lockdown but recently reopened some branches as the restriction eased.
Around 400 branches have been opened on a case by case basis for delivery, drive-thru and takeaway.

thedailymirror--2020-05-19--Lockdown cycle of 50 days on and 30 off 'should be introduced until 2022'

A 'lockdown rollover ' of 50 days on and 30 days off should be introduced ... until 2022 , say British scientists .
An alternating 80-day cycle will reduce the number of Covid-19 deaths and admissions to intensive care units , according to new research .

The strategy is based on mathematical formulas using data from 16 countries - and applies to the UK .
Lead author Dr Rajiv Chowdhury , of Cambridge University , said : `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the UK , I would expect it to be very similar to that in other high income countries . ''
The study , published in the European Journal of Epidemiology , found it could save jobs - relieving financial insecurity and social disruption .

Dr Chowdhury , a global health epidemiologist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dynamic cycles of 50-day suppression followed by a 30-day relaxation are effective at lowering the number of deaths significantly for all countries throughout the 18 month period .

An alternating 80-day cycle will reduce the number of Covid-19 deaths and admissions to intensive care units, according to new research by scientists at Cambridge University
Lockdown 'rollover' of 50 days on and 30 off until 2022 'is way to beat coronavirus'
A 'lockdown rollover' of 50 days on and 30 days off should be introduced...until 2022, say British scientists.
An alternating 80-day cycle will reduce the number of Covid-19 deaths and admissions to intensive care units, according to new research.
Month long intervals of relaxed social distancing would be followed by much more austere measures - lasting almost twice as long.
The strategy is based on mathematical formulas using data from 16 countries - and applies to the UK.
Lead author Dr Rajiv Chowdhury, of Cambridge University, said: "Although we did not model the situation in the UK, I would expect it to be very similar to that in other high income countries."
The study, published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, found it could save jobs - relieving financial insecurity and social disruption.
The successful "test-contact trace-isolate" system and shielding of the vulnerable would remain in place.
His international team believe the approach is more sustainable over the long term than current methods that minimise person-to-person transmission of the virus.
These include social distancing, isolating suspected infected individuals, school closures - and lockdowns.
Dr Chowdhury, a global health epidemiologist, said: "Our models predict dynamic cycles of 50-day suppression followed by a 30-day relaxation are effective at lowering the number of deaths significantly for all countries throughout the 18 month period.
"This intermittent combination of strict social distancing, and a relatively relaxed period, with efficient testing, case isolation, contact tracing and shielding the vulnerable, may allow populations and their national economies to 'breathe' at intervals - a potential that might make this solution more sustainable, especially in resource-poor regions."

Specific durations of the interventions would need to be defined by each country according to their needs and local facilities.
The key is to identify a pattern that protects the population from Covid-19 as well as economic hardship and mental health issues.
The virus has been detected in every country, with more than 4.6 million confirmed cases and a death toll of over 320,000 to date.
There is no effective treatment and a widely-available vaccine is likely to be at least a year away.
It has been unclear what the frequency and duration of such dynamic interventions should be and which strategy could be adapted globally.

So the Global Dynamic Interventions Strategies for COVID-19 Collaborative Group modelled three scenarios across countries spanning Belgium to India.
They varied in setting and income and had diverse health and economic infrastructures.
The rolling cycle of a strict, 50-day lockdown followed by 30-days of easing reduce the R number, or reproductive rate of the virus, to 0.5 - well below 1 where cases rise exponentially.
It also kept ICU demand within national capacity. Since more individuals remain susceptible at the end of each cycle, the pandemic would last longer - beyond 18 months in all countries.
But a significantly smaller number - just over 130,000 across the countries looked at - would die during that period.
In comparison, imposing no measures would lead to patients requiring treatment in intensive care units (ICUs) exceeding the available capacity - resulting in 7.8 million deaths.
The duration of the epidemic would last nearly 200 days in the majority of the countries included.

On the other hand, a rolling 50 day cycle of looser mitigation measures followed by 30 days of relaxing would reduce the R number to 0.8 - insufficient to avoid an intensive care crisis and resulting in 3.5 million deaths.
This would include general social distancing, hygiene rules, case-based isolation, shielding of vulnerable groups, school closures or restricting of large public events.
The pandemic would last about a year in the western world - and 18 months or longer elsewhere.
The team also found after a continuous, three-month strategy of strict lockdown most would reduce new cases to near zero.
Looser, mitigation strategies would require approximately 6.5 months to reach the same point.
But such prolonged lockdowns would be unsustainable in most countries due to potential knock-on impacts on economy and livelihood.
Co author Professor Oscar Franco, of the University of Bern, Switzerland, added: "Our study provides a strategic option that countries can use to help control Covid-19 and delay the peak rate of infections.
"This should allow them to buy valuable time to shore up their health systems and increase efforts to develop new treatments or vaccines.
"There is no simple answer to the question of which strategy to choose. Countries - particularly low-income countries - will have to weigh up the dilemma of preventing Covid-19 related deaths and public health system failure with the long-term economic collapse and hardship."

Arsene Wenger wants the January transfer window to be scrapped - because it gives out-of-favour players an excuse not to fight for a place .
Legendary Arsenal boss Wenger is now head of global development for Fifa , and has shared his views on how to improve the financial management of football in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic .

“ In October , as soon as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tries to find a solution elsewhere and waits for January to leave , '' said Wenger .
`` He is no longer mobilised , he gives up . ''

The Frenchman said : “ I am in favour of limiting the share of the budget of a club dedicated to the players ’ payroll .

At Arsenal , this rule was imposed on us by the banks : we could not exceed a part of our budget in player salaries .

But Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Jonathan Reynolds warned : “ Unfortunately , these claimants will now discover the UK has one of the weakest out-of-work safety nets in the developed world.
” It came as the number of people who have died after testing positive for the virus rose by 545 to 34,341 and figures suggested around 15,000 elderly care home residents have died .
Gordon Brown lashed out at an apparent lack of leadership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the public recently .
Mr Johnson , seen returning from a run yesterday , has led the daily Downing Street briefing just twice since going back to work on April 26 .
He has given one Commons statement on the pandemic since it began .

Mr Brown said : “ He has got to get a grip on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get a grip on what is going to happen to the economy as it moves forward.

Calling for more support for young people Mr Bell also warned against a sharp cliff-edge end to furlough.

“We must ignore those calling for the scheme’s plaster to be ripped off immediately, which would send unemployment soaring when we’re already on course for levels not seen in 25 years,” he said.
At the Downing Street press conference, Environment Secretary George Eustice urged furloughed workers to “lend a hand” harvesting crops as overseas pickers stay away.
He said: “We need to rely on British workers to help bring that harvest home.”

The number claiming unemployment benefit soared to 2.1 million in April, the first full month of the lockdown.
The Government clearly needs some help. Here is a five-point plan that might stop the pandemic creating long-term damage to economy.
There is no point relaxing the lockdown if people still fear they may catch the virus. So, before relaxing restrictions...
Get a test, track and isolate infrastructure in place and running smoothly in every part of the country. Get the daily number of new infections down to single figures as well as keeping R below one. Only with both of these in place will people feel confident about visiting shops, socialising and sending kids to school.The Government can then go to the next step. Relax each aspect of the lockdown, checking that R stays below one. When lockdown is over, stimulate the economy by cutting taxes or increasing Government spending by enough to get unemployment back to pre-pandemic levels. At no point in this process should the Government worry about its own deficit. The deficit will come down because the economy will recover.
