1. And now people of Surrey can’t drink tap water. In a developed western nation, one of the richest in the world.

   What is the government doing? Taking all the money, none of the responsibility, and slinging it to the next party in government.

   The tories do not represent the people of this nation, get them out.

2. Nothing to do with the Tories as we are regularly reminder here.

3. Fun fact about the Thames. You can smell it before you see it, and it’s not good.

4. This is really what Brexit was about.

   Being able to get away from EU environmental regulations to allow wanton pollution by shitty companies (literally) all enabled by the tories.

5. What a shit show. Let’s just cut out the middle man and shit directly into the river, at least then we won’t be paying for the privilege.

6. Almost 3.5 million football fields worth of sewage if anyone is interested 🥲

7. It’s almost like these companies are doing this at different times so it can be drip fed into the news. IMO it’s a national scandal what these water companies are doing, how can they turn lakes green and be like woops Environmental Agency we didn’t notice for 24 hours!
