@SouthWestWater Recent years you say, a long time more than that, he's an article from 1987. Too much money taken out of water companies that should have been used for investment in infrastructure.

Oh deary me! Truro and Falmouth MP @thisischerilyn repeats industry propaganda dumped sewage is 95% water & the general public are confused.

Challenge Mrs Mackrory: Drink 1 glass of that 95% rainwater from a CSO I choose and I'll donate £1,000 to a charity you choose. (2/4)

Huge thank you to the @BBCWorldatOne @BBCRadio4 for the opportunity.

Here's what the High Court ruled last year.

In 2022 NONE of the sewage dumped into our rivers and seas, none of it, was due to exceptional circumstances.

Where's our money gone, when do we get a refund?

@BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Article from 1986, 2 years before water companies were privatised.

@steveengland1 @sascampaigns @Feargal_Sharkey @HugoSAS Article from 1987, feeling like we've not moved forward much

[Paul Monnington @galeforce8]

Dirty beaches, nothing new, article from Nov/Dec 1987, 2 years before the water companies were privatised. 36 years later and we still have Victorian infrastructure and no clear plan to resolve. #sewage #beaches #timetochange @sascampaigns @HugoSAS @Feargal_Sharkey

As the saying goes 'X' marks the sewage dumping spot.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from two of England's finest (sic) water companies @SouthernWater and @SouthWestWater

Paying back £163m is but a drop in the ocean considering the cost sewage spills cause to the environment and public health.

And right on cue, SSRS alerts are lighting up the south coast like a 💩 Christmas tree ❌ ❌ ❌

"Local lifeguard Joel Henthorn said: 'The water was grey and frothing and smelled of sewage.'"

The first hand account as apposed to the local MP who tried to claim it was runoff from fields. Ho hum.

Welcome to modern Britian on a Monday morning.

Red dots is where sewage dumping has been taking places over the weekend, grey dots is where the water company has stopped supplying the data. Why have you done that @SouthWestWater?

Your government’s recent moves toward environmental deregulation will hasten the decline of our natural world"

😰 38.5 million plastic bottles and 7 million disposable coffee cups will be bought in the UK today...

Imagine the huge difference we'd be making if we stopped using them. ✊

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

The legacy of power, politics and failure in a single picture.

The reality of what has been achieved. This is how England looked at 6:30am this morning. The legalised dumping of sewage onto our beaches witnessed in real-time.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

People are literally swimming in sh*t, pumped into our waterways by privatised companies who prefer to invest in dividends & grotesque salaries instead of renewing infrastructure. Time to bring water back into public hands

@Feargal_Sharkey @sascampaigns

My Urgent Question 👇

[Hugo Tagholm @HugoSAS]

Fresh wave of sewage pollution hits Britain's beaches

"Do they think this is a joke? Do they not realise how much anger there is about their profiteering and pollution?"

💩 ALERT!

🚨🚨🚨 Our Safer Seas & Rivers Service is once again lighting up with warnings of sewage pollution around our coastlines. Why should we be put at risk of getting sick by simply being in the sea? It's time water companies clean up their act and #EndSewagePollution.
