Brexit strikes again!
Last night a majority of MPs voted against an amendment to the environmental bill attempting to stop water companies dumping sewage into the sea or rivers. That bill would allow water companies to pollute the waters around England and Wales, Scotland's water companies work in a different fashion and this would not occur there.
The problem, not admitted by the government nor their MPs, is Brexit! The water companies are struggling to find the chemicals required to clean the sludge we produce, therefore this is building up and cannot be dealt with. Investment may help, but one water company is paying the CEO over half a million pounds plus payments to shareholders, and cannot spare any more, and to help the companies the government has allowed them to dump waste into the rivers and the sea.
MP's from seaside constituencies have voted according to government orders, thus are now unable to paddle in their own area as the brown stuff is spreading in their waters. It has to be said the Corona Virus lasts 33 days at least in such waste, and now is flooding into the seas, also the such polluted rivers may lead to Cholera if it gets into the water supply.
The 'Great Stink' of Victorian times may be returning under the freedom Brexit brings! What's not to like?
I notice the BBC, SKY News and ITV do not mention this on their websites. It did not appear on the front pages of any newspaper either, could it be a conspiracy is afoot to hide this from the people?
Just imagine, a free press that follows the government line rather than speak the truth! 'It could never happen here,' could it?
Anyway, people are noticing on Twitter, but the ones who will fall foul of this (if that is the right word) will know nothing unless the local council spend cash they do not have warning people not to play among the waters. If heavy rain falls there will be fun for everyone!
