“We’ve fleeced your grandparents, we’ve fleeced you and now we’re asking govt for permission to fleece your grandchildren. @Thameswater‘s approach to doing business.”

You're right. I did say it. 👇

Feargal Sharkey Channel 4 News The claim that the Environment Agency is an evidence-based organisation is laughable.
Evidence-hiding organisation, may be much more accurate.
But hiding those numbers may mean that the sites do not lose bathing status - that would be embarrassing

'Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you.'

And still it goes on.

HURRAH for the good people of Windermere. 👇👏👏👏

Shame @yorkshirewater hasn't wanted to sponsor the Ilkley fountain - celebrating clean water

Defra UK Environment Agency One serious question, please -
Will you change your policies to protect the new bathing sites from pollution or continue to prioritise the profits of the polluters?

REMINDER:

Channel 4 News has revealed that the EA does not include water quality test results from bathing spots that have no-swim warnings posted, if they did the number of locations rated 'Poor' would double.

Ever get the feeling you'd been cheated?

Make a date with Tim Smedley to hear how he followed the story of water scarcity around the globe and the conclusions he came to. Thurs 23rd May via Zoom, book your place at: chalkaquiferalliance.wordpress.com

Cosy little arrangement then.

Don't take my word for it. The voice of experience. 👇

Lots of overflows currently discharging sewage into Manchester’s rivers. Check out the online map here unitedutilities.com/better-rivers/… Interesting choice of blue by United Utilities to represent a sewage dump💩 Purple indicates a discharge in the last 24 hours.

It's Monday, has the minister held a roundtable yet?

To save #LoughNeagh today's debate on an Independent Environmental Protection Agency at the Assembly will be a crucial test of political intent.

This has been promised by the vast majority political parties for many years.

Extraordinary podcast from Water Watch Radio - permits to extract water from Murray-Darling floodplain, Australia, for cotton & almond farms awarded seemingly very unequally, at the expense people downriver, in a country where there's not a drop to spare.

Did you know Southern Water has a Clean Rivers and Seas Task Force? 🤣

'Over the next two years, the Clean Rivers and Seas Task Force will use nature-based solutions, infrastructure improvements and stormwater treatment to deliver several Pathfinder projects.'

May God help us.

Ah yes, govt fail to deliver yet again on another environmental commitment.

'The problem is not that the government is hostile to the environment, it is that you, our prime minister, are simply uninterested.'
