Why are dead sea creatures washing up on UK beaches?
A combination of bad weather conditions is behind the huge numbers of sea creatures that have washed up on beaches.

From my experience living 1/4 mile from sea for >10 years; post storm dead seafood on beach was not unusual. House was ~50ft above sea-level and starfish in garden after a storm, whilst not frequent, was not unusual.

..Hmmm that's a claim pulled out of orifice ..rather than robust science
..Anyway they then went to the "waste to heat centre at Lincoln" (don't call it an incinerator !)

... so finally media people do mention that plastic can be burn, but not in a super emphatic way.

Looking at the SMMT data, February 2016 was the highest in a decade, it fell by 280 vehicles in 2017 and 2018 is the third highest since the low of 2009. So just car sales being car sales until proven otherwise.
