Share everything about the flotilla this entire week until 26 April when it is scheduled to arrive in Gaza.
Greenpeace vessel joins global flotilla aiming to break Gaza blockade.
Nothing's gonna stop them now.
The story has turned into being about 2 bad boys, Mandy and Andy, and not about an elite group of men creating a den, cut-off from the real world where they could behave as they want - which was about corrupt finance and brutalising women.
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. 👇
Oh look, it rained.
Areas of the country where water companies are currently dumped sh*t into rivers and on to beaches.
Brown, currently dumping sewage.
Red, has been dumping sewage within the last 24 hours.
Really scary new data about A&Es

Thames Water half-year profits leap to £386m after bills rose by nearly a third.
Leaks and sewage dumping will continue for years.
£20bn+debt. A third of the bill covers interest payment.
Captive customers have no choice.
End the scam. Nationalise.

Thames Water makes £400 million in profits in half a year after they hiked bills.
Not a penny of these profits should go to shareholders pockets. No rewards for failure. Nationalisation is way overdue.

Over at website 'Conservative Woman', people are bemoaning the loss of Britain's manufacturing base. My memory is not brilliant these days, but I seem to recall a government beginning with a capital C, devoting itself to destroying that very same manufacturing base, no?
12 out of the 14 stretches of rivers designated as bathing spots are polluted with the @EnvAgency issuing a "Do Not Swim" advisories.
So exactly 16 months into a new govt what's been achieved? Absolutely nothing, nada, zero, zilch.
Well that's alright then.

The @EnvAgency, wagging the finger and telling everyone off for using too much water and in doing so, yet again, trying to pretend that they're some kind of innocent bystander in all of this with no control over the situation whatsoever.
Guess who issues ever water abstraction licence in the country?
Guess who since 2014 has the power to amend or revoke any abstraction licence that is causing damage to the environment?
Guess who's utterly failed to exercise any of that power and prevent the very thing they're now complaining about?
This is awful and beyond the realms of what anyone would see as basic decency for human beings.
It's awful not just for trans people but for anyone who doesn't present with narrow stereotypes of
femininity and doesnt want the state policing women's appearance.
