Since Thames Water is once again staring down a gun barrel, the £3 billion bailout it had runs out later this year, I thought it might be timely to remind us all of the “Economically illiterate”, cost govt comes up with to renationalise the water industry, you remember the £100 billion.
It is of course made up nonsense produced by a think tank in a report which was bought and paid for my United Utilities, Anglian Water, Severn Trent Water and South West Water.
By their calculations it would now cost £26,659,419,800 to nationalise Thames Water. 🤣🤣🤣
What a joke.
The 2k views with only 20ish likes should tell you how popular you are with nature lovers. There is no win/win under Starmer just more death, destruction and confusion. If you want us back you have to change your actions and listen to experts not think tanks
I said in December 2023 that cancer water, sewage outflows, collapsing councils, and Brexit deregulation were all by design to install private governance. The EU cleaned our beaches and rivers over fifty years. Brexit undid the enforcement in four. Now PFAS from data centres is entering groundwater in areas with no regulatory framework to stop it, in zones explicitly designed for "regulatory experimentation," while the UK government refuses to sign international safety agreements. Know your enemy. The design is visible at the molecular level.
South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.
SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.
Still trades. No exec fined, charged. People fleeced.

The European factory fishing industry and its political sponsors now accusing *birds* of causing the collapse of fish stocks says it all really.
This is what the conservation movement is up against.

So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
Dear Twitter Friends
May I ask you please to sign this vital petition to help save the beautiful, innocent Dartmoor ponies from a Defra cull! Thank you 🙏

Dottie, a bottlenose dolphin who lived 39 years at SeaWorld, died this week without ever feeling the rhythm of the ocean, or the freedom she deserved.
SeaWorld describes Dottie as a devoted mother of four calves, but they separated her from every single one of them. That is not devotion, that is the reality of captivity, where profit determines family bonds.
Dottie was born into concrete tanks and died in them. She never experienced the open sea. She spent her life performing for tourists, not because it was natural or enriching, but because SeaWorld's business model depends on it.
SeaWorld positions itself as an institution rooted in marine science. They know, because the science is unambiguous, that cetaceans are highly intelligent, wide-ranging, socially complex animals. They know that no tank, however large, can meet the physical or psychological needs of a dolphin. And yet they continue their breeding program, ensuring that more animals like Dottie will be born into the same captive cycle, never knowing the life they were meant to live.
Dottie's story should not end with a tribute post. It should end with change.
SeaWorld must end its dolphin breeding program now. No more calves born into captivity. No more mothers separated from their young. No more lives defined by performance and concrete walls.
Dottie deserved better. The dolphins who come after her deserve better.
This is utterly heartbreaking- what is wrong with developers?
The swifts are seen trying to return to their nests and the nests are no longer there

Supertrawlers Are Taking Antarctic Krill That Whales Depend On
Due to the growth of factory fish farms, supertrawlers as long as football fields now work the same space as krill-eating whales
It is completely unsustainable to empty the seas of krill so vital for our beleaguered wildlife

This is cutting off our nose to spite our face.
Every critical ecosystem across the globe is on the pathway to collapse.
Nature breakdown doesn't respect borders.
Cut funding today, pay the price tomorrow: food shortages, instability and climate displacement.
How about Ministers make an effort to restore clean water and wild swimming spots for everyone everywhere?

🚨 Ten years after the referendum and the verdict is in:
@dsmitheconomics in The Sunday Times lays out the lost growth advantage.
UK real per capita GDP growth 2016–2025: just 5.4%
Italy: 11.6%
Spain: 11.1%
Eurozone: 10.2%
France: 8.4%
Britain needs to face reality and undo Brexit.
The news of Scotland mandating swift bricks has gone viral on various big mainstream accounts. If only everyone who liked the post below emailed Housing Secretary Steve Reed telling him to go back to his original support and mandate. Just like Scotland AND Gibraltar !
So, I have a friend who works at the BBC.
Yesterday, they told me the Tony Blair Institute basically selected the entire panel for @bbcquestiontime — hence why there was no balance and it was essentially dangerous big tech propaganda. Loads of staff pissed off, but silenced.
Palantir’s UK mouthpiece has been uncritically platformed the BBC (multiple times), the Sun, the Times, the Observer & now the Evening Standard.
It’s a really instructive lesson for everyone on how power works & the role the media plays
