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.

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. 😱

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.
