Shambles151 UK rivers, or English rivers ? The truth is important.

English rivers,fixed it for you, Scottish water is government owned

ChristineCair15 Not the uk. This is in England. But everyone else must be brought into it

ChristineCair15 As voted and supported by the Tories

Yet we'll continue to pay the 'waste water/sewage' section of our bills like the apathetic twats that we are...... until....

So we definitely need to keep an eye out for “Round brown fish” when swimming!

As last years figures stated there was over 400,000 polution incidents, Im just waiting for the spin from the water company's that says this years 370,000 pollution incidents is an improvement. For god sake, stop this nonsense and get all utilities back into public ownership.

Feargal_Sharkey Nobody wants this, so why is this happening? Quite simple, we've been forced to hand waterways over to people who are in it purely for profit and quite literally don't give a shit.

Feargal_Sharkey Pedantic but it says discharged not pumped in the article. Some may have been pumped out of storage tanks but I expect most of it spilled/overflowed.

Feargal_Sharkey 370,000 times! Who the f is monitoring this, whoever it is they are not doing their job.

Feargal_Sharkey Welcome to the UK and our great government doing the rounds today saying how the world wants to come here as we leading the way in green services work out what one is a lie

Feargal_Sharkey About 1000 times every single day of the year. Disastrous and intentional.

Easy way out. Pay Tory party a donation to bury the whole matter at Sea. Preferably in international waters.

That’ll stop people swimming in them 😳😬

hmm
