1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

   Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://news.sky.com/story/dozens-of-swimmers-fall-ill-and-get-diarrhoea-at-sunderland-race-prompting-questions-over-sewage-discharges-12935329](https://news.sky.com/story/dozens-of-swimmers-fall-ill-and-get-diarrhoea-at-sunderland-race-prompting-questions-over-sewage-discharges-12935329)**
