Filthy froth (4)

I believe the answer is:

scum

(Other definitions for scum that I've seen before include "Dirty foam" , "Film on the surface of a liquid" , "People regarded as worthless, especially criminals" , "Waste matter floating on the surface" , "Fruit of the oak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
