stuffing stuff

A little rain and the rivers fill with sewage again.

I don't understand why the British public put up with this.

We just let the water companies continue to pollute.

@MeirionTweets Lancaster has a low Mull of Kintyre angled (but still Grade II* listed) somewhat Albertish Victoria in its Dalton Square

Twelve hours. That's how long a public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein's activities in Britain survived.

On Tuesday night, the victims minister told BBC Newsnight the Prime Minister was "looking into" an inquiry. Andy Burnham would meet Epstein's victims. He was "taking this very seriously."

By Wednesday morning, the line had changed. An inquiry is "not being actively considered."

No statement to Parliament. No explanation to survivors. Just a briefing, delivered before breakfast.

So what would an inquiry examine, that it needed strangling in its cot?

Flight logs show Epstein's jet landed at RAF Marham, a frontline strike base, in December 2000. On board with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell was a passenger recorded in the files as a single word: "female."

No name. No age. Nothing.

Twenty-five years later, this state can produce your browsing history in seconds. It compels the retention of every citizen's internet records for a year. But the flight log of a sex offender's jet landing at a military base? Wiped, we're told, inside ninety days.

Ninety-five MPs want an inquiry. Gordon Brown has written to six police forces. Two of the most powerful men in Britain have been arrested.

And this morning, Downing Street decided nobody should be appointed to find out who that woman was.

Burnham stood with the Hillsborough families when the state investigated itself reluctantly. Now it's his turn to choose... all victims deserve justice...

Who benefits from there being no inquiry?

@Rainmaker1973 Back in 1930/40s my father had TB of the spine which rotted lumbar vertebrae. Surgeons braced across them with bone grafts from his shins, recuperated at Ethel Hedley Orthopaedic Hospital. Recovered to be happy time trialing cyclist and dad-not stuck in a bath chair as predicted

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Ah the old lie "nationalisation will cost billions".

James Murry @jamesmurray_ldn you just told Justin Web @JustinOnWeb on the Today programme @BBCr4today that nationalising the water industry "costs huge amounts of money".

I challenge you sir, prove it, prove a single word of it and if you can't or won't then stop repeating the lie for that's what it is, a lie.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Oh here we go, a director of South Wast Water. responsible for overseeing fat cat salaries and bonuses also runs a business offering "aura cleansing and crystal healing using techniques 'passed down through a 3,000-year-old lineage'."

Who in the hell appoints these people, @NatWestGroup any ideas?

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Quite shocking hearing going on right now in parliament.

The totally hopeless South East Water @sewateruk is appearing before the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee @CommonsEFRA

This is proper hide behind the sofa, peek through you fingers viewing. Brilliant job by the committee, surgically exposing the contemptuous, arrogant, incompetent way water companies are run.

#NetworkRail will you be cruel or be kind? It is so easy to be kind in this situation - you can unblock the homes that 6 swifts are currently flying thousands of miles back to. Please do email CEO Jeremy Westlake: [email protected] #SaveOurSwifts

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor @WriterHannahBT]

Please help get this message to CEO of @networkrail Jeremy Westlake. Email him asking him to unblock the swift nesting sites in the chapel Milton viaduct, Derbyshire. His email is [email protected] @deborahpitman has been asking for ages but she’s been ignored

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Proof if ever it were needed.

In the last 2 years investigating officers at the Environment Agency have recommended that fat cat water industry bosses should be prosecuted on 5 separate occasions.

On each and every occasion senior management at the EA overrode that decision. 👇👇👇

Really, what is the point?

[Martin Smith @x5mms]

Yorkshire Water spewing sewage from Thornton le Dale sewage works in dry weather!
Again and again.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

And all of that absolutely, 100%, totally illegal.

No doubt the Environment Agency will be issuing a warrant for the arrest of the CEO and board first thing this morning.

@drannaspanna15 @guardiannews @guardian I’m not surprised you’re scared, this is shocking, only 100 metres across the road from BAM too, i hope they haven’t been using a local water source to water the livestock for the last 40odd years 😬

A year ago today Farage and his partner bought a house in Clacton, in cash, worth £885,000.

Nigel told the world he bought it, but when it transpired he didn't pay enough stamp duty (he owns 4 other properties) they said his partner paid and he had lied.

However, she does not have that kind of money so it only raised more questions.

Who paid? Did they dodge tax? Was it Russian money? Was it from the ongoing fraud case in the EU? Was it a bribe?

Considering he could be the next PM, the public have a right to know.

Why is the media silent on this?!

We won't forget Nigel, and we won't let the media forget.
