12 days ago now my @O2 phone was hacked. I can’t make or receive calls. Apparently their fraud team are dealing with it but they are too busy to keep me informed. Please use email or WhatsApp for now.

'It's pretty damning for everyone involved' @Feargal_Sharkey

A new report says water companies have been overly focused on maximising financial returns at the expense of the environment.

Recommendations include that bosses should not receive a bonus if the company pollutes.

'We are slowly killing every single river in the country.'

Feargal Sharkey backs 'super' fines for profiting water companies.

The Prime Minister has denied the government is moving away from £250 million fines for water companies.

A pair of adult Atlantic salmon complete their lifecycle. The female may be lucky enough to return in a couple of years as a repeat spawner. The ‘precocious’ parr may fertilise some eggs now, go to sea and then do the same as an adult in a couple of years time. Amazing fish 🙂👍

@HughFW That’s very sad news - what a multi-talented and amusing guy. We had such fun making Dirty Tackle shows for Radio 5 back in the 90’s - I still have the tapes.

@BillyVacant @CarveMag It's a disgrace but nothing to do with Brexit. Labour and Conservative governments have for decades turned a blind eye to rank profiteering at the expense of an essential public service - much easier for a democratically elected parliament to dodge the issue than confront it.

@MarkDampier @TheSecretAcct Volvo 144 - too solid to insure nowadays!

"It's quite frankly an industry that is causing devastation to the environment."

Former singer turned environment campaigner @Feargal_Sharkey says water companies pumping raw sewage into our beaches is the "physical manifestation of 30 years of profiteering".

@anicolson @TheJimMurray @SouthernWater @FishLegal_ @AST_Salmon Adam I’d be happy to help if I can - have you spoken to George Graham (note KS theme?)

[Jim Murray MBE @TheJimMurray]

Please share this. Yet another example of blatant river abuse by @SouthernWater - and the excellent work @FishLegal_ are doing to stop it. 🙏🙏#handsoffflow @AST_Salmon

Another day, another assault on our Rivers..
This time the Test - one of the world’s most iconic chalk streams - to be plundered by ⁦@SouthernWater⁩ to make up for negligent under-investment in its infrastructure over the years

@bongowill @IoloWilliams2 Great find - extremely rare moth

[William Daniel @FamousFishing]

@RiverActionUK @SouthernWater @NewForestNPA @Telegraph @watsonchas Absolutely disgusting - catch returns of sea trout from Beaulieu river in recent years confirm the decline

@PJennings88 Guess the weather was pretty cold -still only 6C in north east today? Probably better birdwatching weather than dry fly? Gyr falcons too?
