@ianpennine @ltcravenherald @CRTYorkshireNE If there is not enough water, the boats can't move. If the boats can't move, we won't have to maintain the locks. That will save a lot of money, and we can sell off the good bits.

@JuliaHB1 Looks as though it’s only got worse since Tony Benn said this in 1995.

Oh by the way, there are now 60 live sewage pollution warnings on the @sascampaigns map. 💩💩 #SewageScandal

[David Crane @Bangiron]

@CRTBoating Not had one yet

Why are we so destructive?

I've signed a petition show my support for a total ban on sky lanterns in England and Wales. They can cause wildfires, injure or kill animals, damage buildings and destroy crops. Show your support and #BackBritishFarming https://t.co/pB9xBDTNyY

@rockanroldie I think you will find that various governments, of all persuasions, over the years were seduced by the prospect of immediate cash and hiving off responsibility to unelected corporate bodies. They could/should have just knu kled down and made them work.

Top universities are banning Austen, Shakespeare & Dickens to “protect” students from “challenging” literature

Isn’t the purpose of higher education to challenge students + foster intellectual curiosity?

We are denying them an education by wrapping the curriculum in cotton wool

@BootstrapCook @SoVeryBritish I was going to walk toward the light, but couldn't afford the electric

The price of oil is falling steadily in world markets. It’s now under $100 a barrel. Have you noticed the impact of this on pump prices as yet? No, me neither.

Thames Water dumped more than two billion litres of raw sewage in the Thames in just two days.

These polluters made £489 million in profit (off taxpayers) last year.

Nationalise water.

Staycation = at home, day trips.
Holiday in UK = Holiday
The idea it's not a holiday unless it's abroad is just snobby nonsense.
This is my hill and I will die on it.

@ian_laws @RevRichardColes Ditto!

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Private water utilities dumped raw sewage into our rivers & seas 403,171 times in 2020. Not a single river in England passes the legal water quality standards. And they are losing 24% of water through leaks.

Yet these wasteful polluters made £2.8bl in profit (from us) last year.

As long as companies like @McDonalds are removing urban trees and replacing them with plastic grass we’re screwed. We’ve got to stop doing this. @WoodlandTrust

This 100%. I witnessed this first hand as a railwayman.
