The pollution in our waterways is appalling; penalise the Tories for allowing it
“One of the most effluent nations in the world”: sewage by the seaside courtesy of the Conservatives. Let your local council know how you feel about that – if you can!
Some of the following tales of government-approved pollution in the UK’s waterways are shocking; horrifying.
Your elected representatives have apparently failed to hold the Tories to account for allowing it – but if you are in England or Northern Ireland, you have an opportunity to make them pay at the ballot box tomorrow (Thursday, May 4).
Just glance at these latest accounts of the ongoing natural disaster, which I present below without further comment, and take such action as you consider appropriate:
Out on the River Roding yesterday I discovered what these spill statistics mean in reality. A cascade of sun bleached wet wipes & sanitary towels strewn down the bank of the Roding from Combined Sewer Overflow. When do we draw a line in the sand & say this is simply unacceptable? https://t.co/TrYl8dZl0V pic.twitter.com/z0tmf5K63g

"E coli levels in Suffolk river in Thérèse Coffey constituency far above legal limits, data shows."
And now you know why the minister was doing photo ops at the end of last week and blaming wild birds for the state of our rivers @clarissa_place.https://t.co/YctUTpwSN9

Less than a week after been fined £2.65m for dumping sewage into the North Sea guess who's at it again?

Anglian Water has been found guilty of polluting the environment 5 times in the last 2 years, fined a total £4,328,690.
Calls are now being made for water companies to pay compensation to local communities and businesses.
Sounds like a good idea to me.https://t.co/Mwq13Naljx

Sunak and his tory criminal Cartel will continue to allow water companies to polute, poison our streams, rivers, shorelines, and kill off the wildlife and plants for as long as the water companies continue to bribe them…..The law won’t intervene….it hardly ever does where big money is involved, and the bribes towards MPs are concerned…otherwise, most MPs would be in prison now…along with their crooked, tax evading business cronies..
