I see govt are releasing the 2024 sewage dumping numbers tomorrow, the day after the budget, or as our American cousins would call it Take Out The Trash Day.
As the media will be focusing heavily on all things budget it's the perfect day to bury all the sh*t you would really prefer people not to notice. Nice try.
PS. I hear they're horrific.
PPS. And now you know what all the activity has been about the last few weeks, the national tours, the banning bonuses, the jail sentences, all unlikely, all in vain attempt to create a smokescreen, all completely pointless. Nice try.
"Water companies in England have been fined just £2 by Ofwat since 2021 for breaching regulations".
The whole thing is a total, complete and utter shambles.

'They've provided shareholders with £72 billion of our money. Maybe more of that should've been spent on the sewage system.'
After failing to find a river in the UK that passed all of his tests, @feargal_sharkey challenges water corporations to an on-air debate.

These knobheads turning up in Westminster to protest paying taxes WE ALL HAVE TO PAY.
Nah, my sympathy is limited for
rich land owners just being tax dodgers.
Tax due if parents hand on £3m house: £940k
Tax due if parents hand on a £3m farm: £0
A reminder of significant tax advantage to farmers vs everyone else AFTER these changes
Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own.
Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest?... 1/
"Cut to the chase: Windermere was ‘used as an open sewer’ because of privatisation."
Finding it very hard to disagree with that sentiment.

"Have they broken laws? – No."
"Have they broken any rules? – No."
"Have they accepted donations and lied? – No."
Amid the Labour gifts row, @mrjamesob criticises the 'absolute salad of rollocks' served up by a Tory Party who 'led this country to the 'abattoir'.
Cost to the taxpayer for Keir Starmer’s use of a box at Arsenal: £0.
Cost to the taxpayer when Boris Johnson refurbished a press conference room which he stopped using after just 1 month: £2,600,000
Guess what the right wing media caused a storm over?
"Water companies selling sludge fertiliser containing banned ‘forever chemical’ to farmers."
Yep you read that right. Not only are the water industry poisoning our rivers they're now potentially part of putting poisons into our food chain. Oh joy.

"Severn Trent CEO Liv Garfield earns more than eight similar organisation leaders combined." Yes you read that right.
How do you earn £3.2m a year even when you're just been fined £2 million for the ‘"reckless" pollution of the River Trent? Just as the CEO of @stwater.
How's you Sunday going?
