I just can’t stop thinking about all the poor animals in all those beauty spots whose habitats have been decimated. It’s made me sob. People are the fucking worst, especially the evil bastard men whose greed is killing our planet.
This tedious little w*nker is Chris Weston, CEO of Thames Water. He says:
"Bills have been too low for too long."
You will note that he says nothing about his salary has been too high for achieving f*ck all.
Thames Water has not built a reservoir SINCE 1977.

20% of Orkney are English expats, that would be the same English back in their home country that voted for Tory Govts Scotland never voted for, Brexit, and importantly 3/4 of that expat voters were our independence denying immigrants.
As for Shetland - 18% and similarly rising.
Half of the country is in "exceptionally serious drought" - putting us at more risk of wildfires and threatening our food security.
Meanwhile water companies are wasting a staggering 2.87 billion litres of water every day through leaky pipes.
Time to end water privatisation.
I recently led a debate in Parliament to ban ALL MPs' second jobs.
When an MP can pocket more for a couple of hours of “work” than a nurse earns in an entire year, something is deeply broken in our politics.
It's time to end this racket.

US tariffs on Scotch whisky have now been lifted.
First Minister @JohnSwinney visited Suntory's Glasgow site to mark their removal.
This will benefit our whisky sector, which supports thousands of jobs across Scotland and contributes significantly to our economy.
According to ridiculous NHS rules Psychiatrists with 13 years of training can’t diagnose ADHD.
But anyone who does a 4 week (120 hour) course and reads through a tick sheet can.
They charge £500 an hour, instead of the £35 it would cost the NHS.
It’s a scam.
America won't recover from the Trump presidency. The greatest damage isn't just Trump's corruption, cruelty, racism, vulgarity and contempt for the law—it's that millions rejected decency, integrity and competence for a man who validated their prejudices and exploited their anger

🇮🇱Netanyahu: "NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani supports Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah."
🇺🇸Mamdani: "I don’t believe anything Netanyahu says. He is a war criminal and the architect of a horrific genocide. No one can believe what he says."
Zohran Mamdani, the man with a spine 💪
There’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more North Sea oil & gas. The planet is already on fire. How many times do we have to say it will do nothing for energy bills or energy security - but would send a terrible message to the rest of the world? https://t.co/sItNlMVcZD
We pulled Candy out of a building site where she was struggling to survive. We believe she ate her own leg off as it was infected as a puppy.
Look at her now living her best life in Spain ❤️
@Protect_Wldlife A tenant was actually hospitalized after 150+ trapped bats flooded into his living room through gaps. Also, this fine is small next to precedent, Bellway Homes paid £600k for the same species in 2020, the UK's largest-ever wildlife crime fine.
A construction firm which admitted the reckless destruction of a colony of 150 bats has been fined £17,000.
Dumfries Sheriff Court heard that the Soprano Pipistrelle Bats died when holes they were using to enter and exit their roost were blocked.
