And all of that absolutely, 100%, totally illegal. No doubt the Environment Agency will be issuing a warrant for the arrest of the CEO and board first thing this morning.

"'River of raw sewage' pours down UK street with 'biohazard' faeces flooding road and path." First it was Horbury in Yorkshire, then Margate in Kent, now Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, is there a single stretch of the sewage system anywhere in the country operating as expected? mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ri…

Yet more corruption exposed. In 2024 98%, yes 98% of all serious water company pollution incidents got downgrade by the Environment Agency to minor. Time to end the charade, to call an end to the farce. Time for public ownership.
".. they had a cosy relationship with the water industry" Robert Forrester, Environment Agency whistleblower, explains why the agency downgraded 98% of serious pollution incidents by the water companies to minor incidents #GMB

According to YW sewage map, discharge started at 9.09am finished at 9.38am. Started again at 09.49 finished at 10.12am. Footage taken at 10.40am. Still discharging at 11am today. Welcome to England's rivers. #sewage #pollution @CleanIlkley @tomgordonLD

Holy crap @gilesbristow I missed this when I came out. Poor old Aggie. #endsewagepollution
Delighted to see that The Daily Mail has had the good sense to quote me regarding the government’s sensible idea to disperse sewage in coastal waters in a safe manner whilst beaches are empty. The Daily Mail continues to be an example of rigorous & well researched journalism.👍

This is the s#it we are up against
"Top-rated UK water firms dumped 1,374 illegal spills into rivers" And these two firms were given the highest possible rating by the @EnvAgency, demonstrating what an utter farce that particular grading system is. theguardian.com/environment/…

Bude river surfing. Making the most of the giant swell and big tides to surf up the river in Bude back a while. Some top skills negotiating the bridge! Great video by Paul Pearse

Damn that @WATERSHED_i map is terrifying. River Lea at Ware, tests positive for 39 different chemicals capable of liver damage, carcinogen, kidney damage, hormone imbalance, toxic to fauna and flora and death amongst other things. I've been fishing that river for 25 years. 😱

"Water firms hike dividends despite sewage pollution scandal and rising bills." These three companies alone have just made £710,000,000 in profit. Screw you is what they're saying, screw you and screw our rivers. It's gotta stop and that time is now. independent.co.uk/business/w…

Rishi Sunak has claimed that voters are fine with him spending £50,000 a day on this ridiculously large private jet. If you aren’t fine, RT and tell him to spend his own £720,000,000. Where is his pay restraint? Also like if you want him to f** off.

In just one week, 7K of us have written to Ofwat to demand that they play their part to #endsewagepollution. 🙌 Now Ofwat has delayed announcing their draft judgements on water companies' plans until the 11th of July. But we are still watching them. 👀 pulse.ly/ie02nhwx5j

"MP calls for 'sewage tax' and freeze to water bills in BBC Question Time faceoff." Told you sewage was going to become an elevation issue and we need to keep it that way. Onward to the ballot box. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/m…

I thought that was the conservative party pledges
So the challenge is: how do WE make a political party include the burning issue of environment in their priority list? (How come antisocial behaviour has made it!?)

"Sewage scandal water group to pay shareholders £320million." Quiz: How do you make £517.8 million profit in just 1 year? Easy dump all the sh*t you can into the nearest lake knowing full well that regulator won't do a damned thing about any of it. express.co.uk/finance/city/1…
