Great program on @bbc now with Paul Whitehouse highlighting the shambles that is water companies across the UK dumping sewage into our rivers whilst still making huge profits. Good to see some people still care
What an interesting off hand quote from Yorkshire Water, as reported by someone being interviewed on Our Troubled Waters on BBC 2: "well a few years ago, no one cared about the sewage going into the rivers." A few years ago, we didn't know about it...
Paul Whitehouse - "It's still astonishes me that water companies are legally allowed to dump raw sewage into our waterways... & I can't believe that is policy... there's a groundswell of support to do something... it's time water companies were taken to task."
