Selfish sunseekers spark backlash across heatwave Britain

Selfish sunseekers are sparking a growing backlash across heatwave Britain with a number of incidents this week.Hordes descended on the nation's beaches, local beauty spots and waterways teeming with sensitive wildlife, while fights broke out and police made arrests as tensions simmered over amid the record-breaking heat.Groups of young people have caused widespread disorder in Bournemouth, with mobs on the beach and officers dispersing crowds of teenagers while being pelted with glass bottles.Elsewhere, visitors looking to make the most of the 35C heatwave have been accused of leaving behind mountains of rubbish, blocking access for emergency service vehicles and taking a dip in areas where swimming is banned.Revellers rushed to take to the water in a wildlife haven in Hampstead Heath, as well as defying no-swimming warnings at London lidos including Ruislip and Parliament Hill, which was closed following an 'altercation' on Bank Holiday Monday.
