Getting older very disgracefully. Love open water swimming, running and I cycle a bit.

Did you know that the @EnvAgency stops testing bathing quality at the end of September? At which point you're on your own until next May. You'll never even know. 🤮

Sewage dumping has nothing whatsoever to do with heavy rain. It is caused by greed, profiteering, financial engineering and regulatory incompetence, fix those you fix the sewage scandal.

Time to turn that outrage into action.

Sexually coerced extortion or ‘sextortion' is a type of blackmail where someone tries to use intimate or sexual imagery of another person to make them do things they don't want to do.

Regulation and a contemptuous, sneaky sleight of hand.

@Ofwat has now admitted the law requires WCs to only ever dump sewage in "exceptional circumstances". It has also admitted that for 35 years we've paid WCs all of the money needed to comply with that obligation.

After investigation Ofwat has ruled that at least 3 WCs have broken the law.

Tell me again we've not paying twice, where's our money gone, what happened to it?

It's a sunny bank holiday Sunday and @SouthernWater have decided to mark the occasion by releasing enormous amounts of sewage across the south east 💩

The following locations have had sewage releases within the last 24 hours:

Sheerness
Whitstable
Herne Bay
Margate*
Broadstairs*
Folkestone
Sandgate
Hythe
Camber*
St Leonards
Bexhill
Birling Gap
Seaford
Worthing*
Littlehampton
Middleton-on-Sea*
Felpham
Bognor Regis
Pagham
Langstone Harbour
Southsea
Stokes Bay
Bembridge*
Whitecliff Bay
Yaverland
Sandown
Shanklin
Ventnor
Cowes
Gurnard
Colwell Bay
Totland Bay

* indicates a location where there has been a sewage release that @SouthernWater deem to be 'non-impacting' and therefore hidden from their map.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

From St Austell in Cornwall to the Thames Estuary by my reckoning there are currently 87 different locations where sewage is being dumped on beaches and into the sea.

So how's you're bank holiday weekend going?
