A nice surprise in the news today sees Stephen Fry make noise about the water companies and how they should be publicly owned, and that these companies should face criminal charges for the pollution they do. It stinks!
He said: “What I want to do is clean up our water. We’ll do it by making the water bosses face criminal charges if they are responsible for persistent, severe levels of illegal sewage dumping.
“We will ban the payment of their multimillion-pound bonuses while they’re overseeing that kind of failure.
“We will ring-fence customers’ money that is earmarked for spending on investing in the sewer system. So, if it’s not spent on that, it will be refunded to customers in a discount on their bills.”
I say, the trouble is though, they've been lining their pockets Stephen and not improving the plants to match the input volumes so they tip it in the rivers instead. Get a compost toilet and do your bit for the planet!
