Book Description
Writer Theodore Dalrymple drove the four hundred miles from Glasgow to London recently, and found practically every yard of roadside to be littered with rubbish flapping in the wind like Buddhist prayer flags. What does it mean when a country tips its rubbish anywhere it likes? This short, brief book sifts through the excesses of Britain’s public rubbish with dry wit and analyses what it says about us and the meaning of life. Have we really become barbarians?
