Another proud moment for @SouthernWater as two Kent beaches are placed on the 'no go' list for swimmers, which shows the 20 locations with the poorest water quality in the UK.
Imagine the impact on local businesses throughout the summer.

The Post Office with help from Fujitsu, accountants, lawyers illegally convicted postmasters for fraud.
£1.5bn+ compensation paid from public purse. Perpetrators paid ZERO.
No one prosecuted for lying in courts. Fujitsu gets govt contracts.
Who governs?

The little stream at the end of my road this morning. Hundreds of dead Roach. Very sad. Heavily polluted. Thames Water are here. Just breaks my heart to see. From des Taylor angling 😫
"Five UK water companies spent more than £32mn on appeal to raise bills."
The Competition & Markets Authority ruled that 4 of those companies would be allowed to increase water bills by a further £463 million.
You gamble £32m and you make a £431m return.... good days work I'd say...

Today i announce my retirement from football, Four different countries six different clubs, A boy from Muthurwa with a big dream, carrying a Nations pride everytime i stepped onto the pitch. To my family, friends, agent, the fans and the coaching staff that helped me throughout
44°C in Arizona… in March.
Let that sink in.
Records aren’t just breaking — they’re collapsing.
This isn’t natural variability.
This is human-driven warming, and it’s speeding up. End war - come together and build climate mitigation urgently.
In the early ’80s, two landmark TV films tackled nuclear war: The Day After (US) and Threads (UK). Both showed the effects of nuclear fallout on ordinary people. They were grim, unsettlingly accurate, and terrifying.
Neither offered a happy ending.
Can you believe this?
Nearly one million sewage discarge incidents look place in 2024.
Over 1,200 times a day sewage is discharged into our water ways.
Yet £85.2 billion has been paid to water shareholders over past 30 years.
Enough.
Time to bring water back to the public.
"Water firm says 700 sewage spills stopped in a year."
Yet more complete and utter nonsense from South West Water. @CurtisLancaster
In 2022 SWW told govt that by 2025 it would reduce sewage dumping to an average of 20 times per year and reduce the impact on local rivers by 33%.
During 2022 SWW spent 290,271 hours on 37,649 occasions dumping sewage into the environment.
During 2024 544,439 hours on 56,172 occasions.
Nothing but the usual bullish*t then.

🗣 @ZackPolanski: "This sewage crisis is not just about dirty water, it's about the collapse of river ecosystems."
Water bills up
Sewage in rivers up
Shareholder returns up
Nature in crisis
Let's bring water into public ownership - for people and for nature.

Can you believe this nonsense, Steve Barclay, former Secretary of State for Environment complaining about dead fish.
Guess what he did about water companies, agriculture pollution, Environment Agency, Ofwat and the utter chaos overseen by his department when he was the man in charge?
Yep, nothing! Hypocrite.
For far too long shareholder dividends have come before people in our water system.
Time to end this scandal once and for all. Public ownership of water NOW!
The UK is running out of drinking water.
Yes, really.
The UK is one of the wettest countries in Europe. Yet by 2055, England could face a 5 billion litre daily water shortfall without urgent action.
So how did we get here?
We have spent decades over-abstracting our rivers, draining wetlands, and failing to build new reservoirs. At the same time, temperatures are rising, droughts are becoming more frequent, and demand for water continues to grow.
When it does rain, our landscapes no longer hold water as they should. Hardened cities, deforested hills, and degraded soils send water rushing into the sea - often causing floods along the way.
But there is hope.
With the right leadership and investment, this crisis is solvable. We can fix leaking pipes, restore wetlands, reduce abstraction, reuse water, and work with nature to store it in the landscape.
What we need now is urgent action.
It is time to declare a national freshwater emergency and deliver a funded plan to secure our water future.
Because if we don’t act now, Britain will run dry.
