This rubbish isn't dropped by passing walkers, it is a year upon year accumulation of fly-tipped rubbish.
If local authorities allow fly-tipped rubbish to remain in place, it just attracts more fly-tippers.
Keep Scotland Tidy?

These vehicles pose significantly greater safety risks, with children *eight times* more likely to die if struck by an SUV and cyclists suffering much more severe injuries

Moore rather gave the game away on Today just now when he mentioned climate change as one of the things on which the BBC should be impartial. Treating the truth and lies as though they are equal isn't impartiality, it's an abdication of the most basic journalistic responsibility

Amid all the fuss, remember that for much of the 1960s and 1970s, "the Spare" Andrew Windsor was just one unfortunate incident away from being the next king.
Hopefully, this appalling saga will lead to a proper national debate on our hereditary monarchy.
Long, long overdue.

This pair of imbeciles were on an illegal scooter today in #Edinburgh riding the wrong way up Queens Drive.
Just after this photo, they went head to head with a car coming round a bend.
Absolute f*ckwits who have no place on a public road.
Regulations without enforcement are just words.

I don't know who signed off the stopping up order for the cycle path between Edinburgh Park and Hermiston Gait but their idea of an 'alternative route' leaves a lot to be desired! @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike #EdTravCyc

I really don't know why these women are protesting in Edinburgh today.
After all, in 2014 the UK Government told us that there was no secret Rosebank oil field, and in any case, the oil was running out anyway.
Ever feel like you've been mugged?
