To quote from one of Margaret Thatchers political aids all those years ago;
'Hypocrisy is the vaseline of political intercourse'.

I have often wondered if the powers that be dont want the rivers to be a live with creatures, and filthy and polluted, so nobody used them recreationly, and so could use them soley as drains to discharge filth without witnesses so no complaints, saving millions of pounds in profits. just a thought.

Archived Petition: Ban Water Companies discharging raw sewage into water courses.

Ensure Water companies treat the sewage they are responsible for. Not discharge it into rivers and water courses. After all what goes into the ocean comes back as the fish we eat.

As frequently happens in this country we attempt to solve problems from the top down. The British Public need to take responsibility. Stop buying non biodegradable wet wipes and stop flushing rubbish down the lavatory. This will take enormous pressure off water companies. Then when they keep discharging waste go for the jugular.

People are not aware treated waste water is let into rivers and then pumped into reservoirs and ends up coming out of their kitchen taps. We seldom drink 'fresh' water (whatever it is supposed to be) in most parts of England.

Having said that I am circulating links of the Panorama program and petition to my local clubs, tackle shops, and workplace, etc.
