📢📅SAVE. THE. DATE. Wax those boards. Paint those placards. The Paddle-Out Protests are back.
On 16th May, the UK will take to the water, shorelines and riverbanks in bigger numbers than ever before to demand an end to sewage pollution.
Because up and down the UK, sewage is STILL being dumped in our waterways, data is missing, and we're paying the price.

💩⬇️ Sinking to the depths of dishonour.
We only have our broken water system, water companies' greed, and our complicit government to thank.🤑
We're here to ask the government: will they finally cut the cr💩p and give us something to be proud of? We're ready to bring the fight if they don't. ✊

🚨This is not transformational reform, this is putting lipstick on a pig🐷
😠 Look past the glossy veneer of today’s Independent Water Commission recommendations and you’ll see it utterly fails to prioritise public benefit over private profit. This is not transformational reform, this is putting lipstick on a pig – and you can bet the champagne is flowing in water company boardrooms across the land.
📢 Prime Minister, you must abandon the dangerous fantasy that the current privatised water industry can be patched up – it can’t, and the public knows it. Your party was elected on a pledge to clean up our rivers and coasts; now deliver on that promise, and go far beyond these half measures.
💰 For 35 years, profit has come first – and our waters have paid the price. Only one path forward remains: a full, systemic transformation that ends the ruthless pursuit of profit and puts the public good at the heart of our water services.
👉 We welcome Sir Jon’s calls for a national strategy, enshrining public health objectives in law and regional water planning. But we won’t be taken for fools — abolishing Ofwat and replacing it with a shinier regulator won’t stop sewage dumping or profiteering if the finance and ownership structures stay the same.
💩 Voters are tired of swimming in sewage and drowning in ever rising bills. They won’t accept any more toothless tinkering or PR spin—they demand specific, radical reform. Delay any longer, and you risk losing not only public trust but the confidence of your own MPs. Let the water companies keep raking in dirty profits at our expense, and the electorate won’t forgive you.

🤔 Water companies say no sewage spill is ever acceptable... Makes us wonder how they justify 592,478 discharges last year alone?
Broken pipes. Broken promises. A broken system. We've just published our Water Quality Report, which clearly shows why the water industry desperately needs radical reform: https://t.co/0wIyzXsgk3
