Something Serious

[OldBoy]

Not sure if this is the right section to post this in, but guess it gets the most views on here.

I don't do faceache etc but if others do, this should be spread as much as possible.

Recently watched the docudrama 'A Dirty Buisness' on C4, also remember Feargal Sharkey saying this for years about sewage etc being illegally discharged into rivers, lakes and the sea.

Didn't take much notice until now, the situation is actually criminal, imo, and needs to be acted upon, not sure the EA come out in a very good light at all tbh.

Another site that opens your eyes is the SAS, not the army one, but Surfers against Sewage, they now do a map showing discharge history in almost live updates...

Certainly opened my eyes to what is actually going on!!!! 

No I am not a 'tree hugger' but blooming hell... this is bad

It's fishing, and I am sure carp waters are affected by sewage. Some will have stream or river fed inlets, with possibly sewage treatment above them. In fact, just as I was writing this I thought of 7 venues and lakes in my local area that are nearby to sewage outlets on my local river.

Our MP's continually voting against stopping sewage firms allowing outflow into our waterways is disgusting, as is the continued private ownership.

Feargal Sharkey has explained on television how easily water companies could be nationalised again, without the water companies being 'compensated', their billion Pound demands.

Makes me think seriously about not buying a rod license 

the cover up by the environment agency was disgusting

[commonly]

Yeah, if we all refused to renew our licenses on that basis, they'd have to act.

Same for the road tax & the pot holes.

& no doubt many other everyday essentials that we are constantly being ripped off for!

There's no real party, or means, to get people power behind any such action, which in this day and age, is a real shame.

There is only one political party that want to renationalise our water. To me it's simple people either want waste dumped in their rivers and to have our assets owned by billionaires or they don't. 

I think if we all stopped paying our rod licence the present government and most other parties would just ban fishing as a consequence sadly.

And the Green Party are otherwise extremely dangerous. Their 'progressive' policies are followed by people who have little or no common sense. Take into that what you will!

There is no political party that actually has the common sense to run this nation; political parties are run to suit one group of people, and it is not the actual population.

It doesn’t need re nationalising 

it just needs someone to treat it for what it is and not a commodity.

The greens will try to ban it anyway as one of their members will just scream “blood sport”

they already say they are against blood sports.

It does need renationalising. We should own our own utilities.
