Turds, Condoms Piling Up On Bonnie Banks Of Loch Lomond, Thanks To Exclusive Resort's Waste Dumping
BOSSES at a millionaires’ playground resort are pumping raw sewage into one of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes. Human waste, along with sanitary items and condoms, is being dumped on the banks of Loch Lomond, just yards from a £7million golf course.

Green groups reacted with fury last night after the Daily Record revealed the pollution scandal at the five-star Cameron House resort. An angry witness accused bosses of fouling the environment to save cash. And campaigners called for the palatial complex, which sits inside the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, to be shut down unless the dumping is stopped.

The sewage is being pumped into the landscape near the exclusive Carrick golf course at Cameron House, where Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has a luxury timeshare lodge. Dumping takes place as often as four times every day, and the Record understands that it has been going on for more than a year.

One witness said: “I’ve seen them pumping the filthy water from a tank on to land around the golf course and down a the lochside. “It is shocking to see so much raw sewage being spread on such a beautiful area. “The smell is nauseating and you can see the toilet paper, sanitary items and everything else lying around. Golfers and walkers stroll by as this is done right under their noses.

1. SEPA (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency)
unfortunate name- Maybe that is why Sir Alex is always chewing gum? It's not to mask the drink it is the pools of shite smell.

3. More environmental vandalism:
The "sympathetically designed" golf course is so luxious that bosses splashed out £50,000 on gas-powered "midge traps" to save the golfers from beaing bitten.

The machines attrat the midges by pumping out carbon dioxide, which the creatures mistake for human breath.


(All spelling mistakes are from the Daily Record - that article is littered with them)

Producing CO2 on purpose? Wankers.
