All hail @PrivateEyeNews

Brilliant story about how one of the proposed new owners of Thames Water is offering up a £25 million "Community Benefit Trust" (CBT) to "support" local environment and community groups but only on condition that TW are exempt from environment law and any threat of prosecution for at least the next 5 years.

In other words we'll pay a £25 million bribe to local river groups and charities to shut them up, it's hush money, it's blood money, it's a bride.

The Evenlode Catchment Partnership (ECP) knows better of course, they've already handed back £135K to Thames Water after they realised they were simply been used and the only people benefiting from the arrangement was Thames Water.

Other river charities would do well to follow ECP's example, don't accept the hush money, don't accept the blood money, it is after all nothing more than a bribe.

We’re watching #DirtyBusiness tonight at 9pm. Are you? 👀💧

To launch @Channel4's explosive new factual drama, 4Creative has unveiled The Fountain of Filth on London’s South Bank - a bold installation forcing Britain’s #sewagescandal into the spotlight.

Based on a decade-long investigation, Dirty Business tells the real stories of whistleblowers Ash and Pete at @WindrushWasp , and the communities whose lives have been devastated by the sewage pollution crisis. It lays bare the human cost of a public health crisis hiding in plain sight. ☠️ 💩

Watch tonight. Be moved. Get angry. Demand action.

🚨AI Is Draining Water From Areas That Need It Most🚨

We analyzed data on thousands of AI data centers, and found that roughly two thirds of them since 2022 are in places with high to extremely high levels of water stress.
