Prem Sikka Would you support a movement of customers refusing to pay sewage portion only of water bill? There is no other action I can see that companies would care about. If enough people did this it would have an impact. Your platform would be powerful. I’m doing it, will you repost pls?

Pleasant surprise to find a new episode of Signals to Danger - The UK rail disaster podcast Danger to listen to this morning. 1984 Eccles. Welcome back Dan Fox

“When someone like Michael Gove gets on the radio - and says that under Conservative govt rivers are in a better state [...] that is a lie. It is a lie and it needs to be called out.” charles watson on Nick Ferrari, after the RSPB were called out for calling ministers, 'LIARS!'
