A THUG screams “I am Jesus” before ploughing into a pensioner at a bus stop in shocking dash-cam footage.

Gavin Collins, 39, had been freed from jail a day before he killed ex-magistrate Terry Radford, 87, on Good Friday by reversing into him with a stolen car.

The clip shows Collins removing the rear view mirror and taking his hands off the wheel as he drives the speeding vehicle during a “psychotic episode” in Mansfield Woodhouse, Notts.

He shouted: “I’m Jesus. I’m the descendant of God.” Collins, of Tibshelf, Derbys, was jailed for life at Nottingham Crown Court after being found guilty of manslaught­er by reason of diminished responsibi­lity.

GOOD Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has gone to war on Britain’s litter louts.

The broadcaste­r, 49, is disgusted by people leaving rubbish on beaches, in parks and on the streets near her home.

She blamed coronaviru­s for a recent spate of littering in her area, as no-one wants to pick up other people’s rubbish.

Dumping

Susanna, who is used to sparring in the ITV studio with co-host Piers Morgan, even confronted two men dumping rubbish in a local car park.

She said: “Whatever happened to ‘take your litter home with you’? I hate seeing rubbish on the street and often pick it up and put it in the bin.

“I was recently brave enough to confront two men who dropped rubbish in my supermarke­t car park.

“They were stunned into silence when I drew their attention to the bin outside the shop.

“For heaven’s sake, put the bin or take it home.”

Susanna is not alone, as new research by Mcdonald’s has found more than a third of Brits have called out a stranger for littering before.

The survey also found that 47% of 18-to-25-year-olds have littered during lockdown.

One in 10 of the young litter louts revealed they have left behind food packaging after enjoying a barbecue or picnic.

The poll also found nearly all over-55s said they hated people who litter – despite 17% admitting they do it too. local it in
