This is massive

Supreme Court rules WCs can sued for nuisance or trespass for dumping sewage even if “There has been no negligence or deliberate misconduct”, by the WC

The Celtic month of #Hawthorn begins on 13 May. Known as the May tree, its blossom gifts healing to the heart & is sacred to the goddess Brigid as she brings new growth & fertility. A tree beloved of fairies, the hawthorn should never be harmed. #FolkloreSunday #MythologyMonday
