I do. Extensively.

Britain is strewn with litter and fly tipping.

So are the other countries that you mention,

In the case of Germany and Holland, that is patently NOT the case!

And all of Scandinavia and very rare in France.

I frequently visit Sweden, Norway and Denmark. All of these
countries have problems with litter, dog sh*t on the pavements,
graffiti etc. especially in the capital cities. Away from these,
it's less of an issue, but only because the population density drops
markedly.

France is not remarkably different either. One can visit different
arrondissements in Paris and find that some are exemplary and others
are appalling. Fly tipping happens in rural parts of France just as
it does here.

It isn't supportable to say that the UK has a singularly bad problem
with respect to litter and similar social maladies.
