What does it mean for our culture when your country is covered with trash? Writer Theodore Dalrymple drove four hundred miles along a motorway and found practically every yard of roadside to be littered with rubbish flapping in the wind like Buddhist prayer flags, which prompted him to write this heart-felt polemic about modern Britain. What does it mean when people tip their rubbish anywhere they like and treat any street as their dining room.
Theodore Dalrymple writes psychiatric assessments in murder cases. He is a former prison doctor and psychiatrist in Birmingham. He writes frequently for the Guardian, Daily Telegraph and the Spectator where he had a column. He previously published Spoilt Rotten (2010).
