"Sewage companies failed to report 126 serious spills last year. Worst offender was Anglian Water, with 23 undisclosed emergency dumps of raw waste."
WHAT, water companies lying to the regulator to cover their own asses? Surely not?!
And the @EnvAgency does what exactly?

So let me get this straight:
When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis.
When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation.
Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?
🚨 WOW! Erin Brockovich completely destroys the AI data center narrative. She confirms these massive facilities emit a non-stop, 24/7 deafening noise that is literally driving local residents crazy!
She exposes the total lack of environmental oversight. Pure corruption!
"Picturesque river polluted with sewage just 13 days after being given official bathing status."
Yep the River Avon at Salisbury was designated as a bathing spot on 15th May and just 13 days later on the 28th the EA have to issue a pollution warning due to E. coli levels. What a shambles.

"They're like: this is inevitable. There's nothing you can do about it. And so all that's left for us to do is to make sure that we are part of the winners, not the losers."
@AaronBastani in conversation with AI journalist @_KarenHao about what she's hearing from the "upper echelons of Silicon Valley", and their disregard for the apocalyptic impact AI might have on humanity.

Clarion Housing destroyed an active swift colony by demolishing a building early, breaching the Wildlife and Countryside Act. Tell the Surrey Police crime commissioner to enforce the law 👉https://t.co/cZqGFTt3uc It’s #worldswiftday but no one gives a monkeys.
Sainsbury's boss eyes bumper £7.3m payday as shoppers reel from higher food prices.
Up from £5.4m last year – 200 times average employee pay.
Govts preach pay restraint to workers, silence on exec pay, shareholder returns.
Let workers vote on exec pay.

Lawyer Peter Stefanovic - whose political films have been watched over a billion times - breaks down Reform's Great Repeal Act line by line: strip day one sick pay, legalise fire and rehire, lift zero-hours protections, repeal the Renters' Rights Act, abolish the Equality Act, and leave the ECHR.
He also notes that almost half of Britons believe net migration has increased when it's fallen 48% to 171,000.
His conclusion: if the media explained Reform's policies, nobody would support them.

Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich on the smoke and mirrors development of huge AI data centers across America. The prioritisation of tech giant profiteering and consumption of natural resources while local communities pay the price. No one voted for this.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 New York has officially banned the construction of new data centers for 1 year.
After that, data centers will pay higher electricity rates than residents.
🚨 DISGUSTING: Top journalist Carole Cadwalladr confirms the US military uses Palantir's AI to systematically find targets to bomb in Iran.
She warns the UK establishment is handing NHS data to this exact same rogue firm to weaponize against migrants. Pure state terror!
The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year.
He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.
This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby@denbypottery
🚨 Zohran Mamdani announces the launch of 5 city-run grocery stores in NYC.
Experts predict this will significantly increase access to nutritious food in low-income areas.
Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.
But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.
Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.
When governments in the West find a new tool they like, first they test it abroad, and soon it lands in Washington.
The UK is now rolling out a digital ID that will start as a “modernization” on your phone and become mandatory for the right to work by the end of this Parliament. No digital ID? No job. Period.
King Charles calls it "progress". Supporters promise less fraud and easier services. But critics see the real danger. Once this “secure credential” exists, it'll be into the ultimate gatekeeper, logging every check, every service, every move into a lifelong government dossier. And the price tag? Up to £20 billion, while public services are already stretched thin and no one has proven it will actually save money or deliver results.
Facial recognition, centralized databases, digital wallets that “dial home” every time you use it. Connect the dots and you get exactly what digital rights advocates are warning about: tools of convenience that become tools of control. A former MP put it bluntly: “Say yes to digital ID and you’ll never be able to say no to your government again.”
Hundreds of thousands of Brits are protesting and petitioning, but the machine keeps moving. That tells you everything you need to know about who this system is really built to serve. The question isn’t what digital ID is today. It’s what it will inevitably become tomorrow.
Wake up, Britain.
This London council is going FULL ORWELL
Our investigation reveals that Hammersmith & Fulham council is wiring 500 CCTV cameras with Orwellian AI surveillance capabilities including:
🔸Slip & fall detection
🔸Vehicle ID and tracking
🔸Aggressive behaviour
"Welcome to sewage-on-sea: Britain's most fashionable tourist hotspot Whitstable is being despoiled by floods of effluent pouring into the ocean, just as the taps in homes and businesses run dry."
People in Whitstable and Kent really do get it from both ends, your sewage is dumped on to local beaches and your tap water gets cut off simply because the water company can't keep your supply running. Bloody hell.
