The dirty man of Europe…

Day 48 #365DaysWild 

Our kids can’t play safely on beaches this summer. 

Seabird populations are in serious decline including through pollution. 

That rare thing in the UK - a safe beach to play on..

… All due to the national disgrace of untreated sewage being pumped into our rivers and seas.

This is having a direct impact on people & wildlife. 

Our privatised water companies unregulated and unsanctioned activity has resulted in massive debt, massive payouts to shareholders and company executives and this massive evacuation of raw sewage through an antiquated water treatment system into watercourses and our seas.

The consequence of incompetence, laziness and political ideology is that the UK is confirmed as the dirty man of Europe.
