And while the Secretary of State for the Environment has been in Brazil watching a man climb a tree @thameswater have being doing this, dumping copious amounts of sewage into local rivers and streams throughout the home counties.
The richest 177 people in Britain added £55,000,000,000 to their fortunes last year.
Their combined wealth now stands at £653,000,000,000.
Don't let anyone tell you there's not enough money to fund our NHS, rebuild our public services, and give our key workers a fair pay rise.
"Brambridge: sewage flows into iconic Hampshire chalk stream."
Doesn't matter if you're one of the rarest ecosystems on earth, @SouthernWater clearly doesn't give a flying ****.

There are 177 billionaires in the UK with a total wealth of £653bn.
Taxing their wealth over £10m at just 3% would raise almost £60bn+
Tax the billionaires.
"This is going to have to be resisted on the streets, through campaigns and through industrial action. We can’t do that alone. We need everyone with us."

I have worked in the NHS for 30yrs. 25 y as a GP. Have given my life to this job. Been through burnout twice. Still standing somehow. Never known workload or conditions like it. Useless MPs in denial. Cant bear to listen to any of them. Tragic. So tragic
As the PM declares all pupils in England should study maths till they’re 18 to better equip them for the workplace, my view is we need a shake up eduction but not this. What we need is a wider, more creative curriculum; more art, music, the chance to work together & make stuff!
Just take a second to think about the sheer mindfuckery being inflicted on people.
Because APPARENTLY:
It was OK to discuss Brexit 24/7 for 3 years when the effects couldn't be 100% proven...
But it's not OK to discuss Brexit now that we have solid real-world facts to discuss.
Just in time for Christmas:
A substantial libel settlement from TalkRADIO & Jeremy Kyle, who falsely accused me of employing a Chinese spy in my office, means a welcome donation to London Community Kitchen who do such amazing work in Brent & Harrow with their foodbank.
No more pickets or media interviews for me this side of Christmas.
I want to say I could not be prouder of our members.
I started as a telegram boy in Tooting and to be able to speak on behalf of all postal workers is a huge honour.
Take the time off. Recharge.
Thank you.
Nurses are being charged £3 for a tuna sarnie & £1,300 (pa) to park their car at work.
Working conditions are making their cost of living crisis much more difficult.
Meanwhile MPs have subsidised canteens & free car parking. It should be the other way about.
Once again, we offered talks. Once again Ministers refused to get round the table. Once again nursing staff are left with no choice.
For the protection of our patients & profession, our next strike will take place on 18 & 19 January 2023.
