Anytime a minister says bathing waters are cleaner read this
Just a document from EA to SOS explaining how to fiddle bathing water results. HOW DO THESE PEOPLE SLEEP AT NIGHT? @CPREOxfordshire @RiverActionUK @GreenJennyJones @AmySlack_1 @ActivistAnglers @UnderwaterMedia @sascampaigns
Bastards that is all
"Β£104bn of water industry investment will come from bill payers, environment secretary concedes."
And there we finally have it, there is no "Β£104 billion of private sector investment". Question is how long has the SoS known this and why has he kept repeating that myth?
Well done @SamCoatesSky for getting to the truth.

Surprised? Of course only Surprised they haven't demand this before
So apart from wanting to be exempt from environmental laws and to have any current or future fines wavered @thameswater now also want the right βto raise prices at any time before 2030β.
Yep, you read that right. Seriously what is this all about at this point, what in Godβs name is govt waiting for?
Whoβs running this show, TW or the government?
Remember when it comes to protecting our waters it's always the same old Promises just in a different wrapper as a better man than me once said.
"Give people jam today and they'll just sit and eat it.Β Jam tomorrow, nowβthat'll keep them going forever.β Terry Pratchett
As predicted govt have announced that yes they are regurgitating a failed Tory policy from 2024, How unimaginative.
Equally unimaginative the usual bunch of entitled environmental charities have lined up to provide suitably adoring quotes no doubt all blinded by the glint of 12 pieces of silver.
Either that or theyβve already forgotten the equally adoring quotes they provided for the original Tory scheme just over a year ago.
All very predictable. π

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY @SouthWestWater
You know all that nonsense about WCs being transparent and accountable? Well guess what, it's all rubbish.
Take this example, South West Water. Here's what their current sewage dumping in Cornwall looks like when viewed on independent site sewagemap.co.uk This is what's going on this morning.
Yet when you look at SWW's website at the same scale you see nothing, just a nice picture of where the local bathing beaches are.
Cynical old SWW have deliberately programmed their website so you can't ever see any sewage dumping at all until you zoom right in to a very, very local level, at no point do you get to see the full scale and extent of the sewage dumping they're currently get up to on their website.
NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY!

Holy moly!!!!!!!!
So howβs that taking control of the water industry thing working out then?
New story- Thames Water has admitted it has paid its executives part of a controversial bonus from an emergency loan, which the company said it had paused and the govt said it would block
They will not be clawing the money back.

Free Speech I keep hearing people saying this, but they don't know what that means. Free speech means you can publicly criticise your government and your leaders (both political and religious). You can ask questions without being repressed, persecuted, arrested, or worse.

So many disused landfills are in residential areas - often, because they weren't safe to build on, they were grassed over & turned into parks or playing fields. Find out where they're located in your area using our Watershed Pollution Map: watershedinvestigations.com/β¦
Before the '90s, nobody recorded much detail on what went into landfill - even at sites for industrial waste. So, we don't really know how toxic the waste they contain is. And, when they flood, chemicals from landfill may be washed into surrounding homes.

2 types of PCBs are classed by the WHO as group 1 carcinogens, the rest are group 2, probably carcinogenic. In water, they sink to the bottom, posing a risk to creatures living on sea floors & river beds. Harms from PAHs, meanwhile, are summed up by @stormwater_jo here:
"levels of a range of metals, ammonia... PAHs &...PCBs identified in the leachate exceed environmental quality standards, making it unsuitable for direct discharge into the River Neb."
